Bosch Shutter Contact 2nd gen	Works	Support added in 2023 Saved copy The new shutter contact has its own class in the boschshcpy module, thus requiring a new class in the binary_sensor.py file.

Bosch Smart Home Thermostat II	Works	Works really well with the integration Saved copy I'm quite happy with the Bosch Smart Home Thermostat II. It has no bells and whistles in terms of AI or other bullshit but works really well with the integration. I've set it up so that NodeRed switches the heating plans based on people being home but otherwise the heating plan in BSH is active as it works in the thermostat itself so even if there is no power in my flat, the heating still will work as before as it is central heating. Open window detection requires window sensors or custom solution in home assistant. I'm really NOT happy with the Tado system.

Bosch Smart Home Controller	Partly works Local	Documented local API; optional Energy Manager key controls some Bosch heat pumps (untested) Saved copy I didn't test this myself, but apparently the Bosch Smart Home Controller (which has a documented API with local HA integration available) has an optional "Energy Manager" license key that allows you to control some Bosch/Buderus branded heat pumps. I have Samsung WindFree mini splits that connect via WiFi and can be controlled via (the unfortunately cloud-based-only) Smartthings. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23.

Bosch Radiator Thermostat V2	Not working	Detected as sensors only, no climate entity Saved copy The problem Hi everyone, I'm new to Home Assistant and just getting started with integrating my Bosch Smart Home setup, so apologies in advance if I missed something obvious. I'm running the latest version of Home Assistant (2025.10.x) in Docker on a Linux system. The Bosch Smart Home Controller (SHC) integration is working in general, I can see multiple devices and their states. However, my Bosch Radiator Thermostat V2 (model BTH-RM2) is not recognized as a controllable climate entity. Instead, I only get the following sensors: - sensor.radiator_battery - sensor.radiator_valve_position - … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.	Issue #155303 · 2025-10

Limitations from the docs

The Bosch Smart Home Controller communicates with Home Assistant over the local network. The controller itself does not need to be reachable from the internet.
Devices you pair with the controller after setting up the integration don't appear automatically. Go to Settings > Devices & services, select Bosch SHC, and select Reload to pick up new devices.
If authentication with the controller fails, Home Assistant starts reauthentication so the controller can be registered again. If the controller's IP address changes and it is discovered through Zeroconf, Home Assistant updates the configured address automatically.
