Bosch Smart Home Plug Radio-controlled Socket Outlet Guide
Dear Customer
Congratulations on purchasing your Bosch Smart Home Plug, it will help to make your home even smarter by connecting electrical appliances to the Bosch Smart Home System. The Bosch Smart Home Plug allows you to easily control electrical appliances from a coffee machine to a lamp conveniently in or away from your home. It’s easy to install and even enables you to keep an eye on the energy consumption of your electrical appliances.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The plug enables you to automatically switch appliances on and off according to a programmable on-and-off function. It also measures the energy consumption of the connected devices (e.g. fridge). Quick to install, the plug is ready to use once it has been inserted into a socket and configured in the app. Its compact design means that surrounding sockets are not blocked off.
Intended use
In order to function properly, the product must be used together with the Bosch Smart Home Controller.
- Follow the safety instructions and the directions in this manual and the Bosch Smart Home App to ensure that the product is set up correctly.
- Please note the details in the Technical Data section.
- Avoid installing in areas prone to high amounts of dust, direct sunshine, or heat.
Please take the Technical Data (in particular the maximum permissible switching capacity of the relay and the type of load to be connected) into account before connecting a load! All load data relates to resistive loads!
IN THE BOX
To operate the plug you will require the app, a controller, and an internet connection.

SET-UP
Before you start
Please ensure that you have a Bosch Smart Home Controller and the Bosch Smart Home App, and that you have set both of them up successfully.
Adding to your smart home
Start the Bosch Smart Home App and select “Add device”
From this point, the app guides you through the installation process. You will find a brief description in the following pages of this instruction manual.
Connecting to your smart home
The app will prompt you to scan the QR code on the product. You will find the QR code on the rear of the plug and as a label in the box.
From this point, the app guides you through the installation process. You will find a brief description in the following pages of this instruction manual.
Configuring the device
Scanning the QR code from within the app starts the configuration process. The plug’s LED indicates the status of the configuration attempt using the following flash codes:
| LED state | Explanation |
| Flashes green once | Successful configuration |
| Flashes orange | Unsuccessful configuration |
If the device is not able to establish a connection to the controller within 3 minutes, the configuration mode is ended. To start the configuration mode again, please press the system button on the plug.
Connecting instructions
Risk of injury even to the point of death from electric shock!
Touching live electrical parts can lead to electric shock.
- Do not open the product.
- Do not use the product if has visible signs of damage (e.g. on the housing or on the controls).
- If you discover a fault, please contact our service team on 00800 8437 6278.
Prevailing regulations must be observed when connecting the product. Failure to comply with the regulations can lead to material damage and/or physical injury even to the point of death. Please take the Technical Data (in particular the maximum permissible switching capacity of the relay and the type of load to be connected) into account before connecting a load! All load data relates to resistive loads! Do not exceed the capacity specified for the device.
Exceeding this capacity could lead to the destruction of the device, to a fire or to an electrical accident. The reliable switching off of the connected device is not guaranteed anymore. Ensure the smart plug is not damaged do not plug into socket if the casing is damaged in any way.
Connect the plug to an accessible, grounded wall socket. In the event of danger, pull the device out of the mains socket.
Do not insert plugs in a row.
Do not use plugs in multiple socket outlets or with extension leads.
- Do not connect any appliances which could cause fire or other damage if switched on inadvertently (e.g. irons).
- Do not use plugs to disconnect appliances from the mains. The load is not galvanically isolated from the mains.
- Devices with electronic power supply units (e.g. TV or high voltage LED light sources) are no ohmic loads. They can generate inrush currents with more than 100 A. Switching such kind of loads may lead to premature wear of the actuator. In consequence the reliable switching off of the connected device is not guaranteed anymore.
Connecting process
Insert the plug into the socket. The plug is now ready to use. You can now plug in the required electrical appliance.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The product is maintenance-free. Repairs should only be performed by qualified persons. Clean the product with a soft clean dry and lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents containing solvents. Incorrect handling (see notes on intended use) or non-observance of hazard warnings may compromise the protection afforded by the device.

Declaration of conformity
Hereby, Robert Bosch Smart Home GmbH declares that the radio equipment type Bosch Smart Home Plug is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/ EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.bosch-smarthome.com/ EU-declarations-of-conformity.
Faults in radio operation
Faults in radio operation (e.g. due to electric motors or defective electrical devices) cannot be ruled out. The radio range inside buildings may differ greatly from the radio range in freefield conditions. Apart from the transmission power and the receiver characteristics, environmental influences such as humidity and structural characteristics may also influence radio operation.
