Home Connect Integration Setup

The native Home Connect integration connects Bosch and Siemens appliances to Home Assistant through the Home Connect cloud. It requires a free developer account to create the application credentials that Home Assistant uses to sign in to your Home Connect account.

Before You Start

Confirm the following before you begin:

1. Your appliances are connected to your Home Connect account and work in the Home Connect app.
2. You have the Home Connect account username and password available.
3. Home Assistant has a working internet connection. This is a cloud integration.

Step 1: Create a Developer Account

1. Go to the Home Connect developer portal and create a developer account.
2. During sign-up, enter the email of your Home Connect app account under Default Home Connect User Account for Testing.

Step 2: Register an Application

1. In the developer portal, go to Applications and select Register Application.
2. Enter the following values:
   • Application ID: Home Assistant (or another name you will recognize)
   • OAuth Flow: Authorization Code Grant Flow
   • Redirect URI: https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth
3. Save the Client ID and Client Secret shown on the application details page.
4. Log out of the developer portal. Staying logged in causes the OAuth step below to fail with an unauthorized_client error.

Step 3: Add the Integration in Home Assistant

1. In Home Assistant, go to Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration and select Home Connect.
2. When asked for application credentials, enter the Client ID and Client Secret from Step 2.
3. Sign in with the Home Connect account and authorize access when prompted.

Step 4: Verify the Appliances

Once linked, your appliances appear in Home Assistant with status sensors, program controls, and remote start options matching what each appliance supports.
