Device	In Home Assistant	What they said	Source
Bosch 800 series refrigerator	Works	Pulls temps and door state from all compartments; interior light dimming, vacation mode Saved copy A Bosch 800 series has a dual compressor. It will pull in temperatures and door info (open/close) from all compartments into home assistant. You can also dim the interior light and our it into vacation mode.Requires WiFi to set up, but I know there's a local plugin in Home assistant I haven't configured yet. That being said, it's the singular Bosch appliance that hasn't lost WiFi in the last year. Every other device has, the dishwasher losing signal every day. So don't bother if you want a matching kitchen suite. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23.	Reddit comment · 2026-07
Bosch dishwasher	Works Cloud	Cloud works; Home Connect Local also working; good official API Saved copy I'm quite happy with the Bosch dishwasher. Uses Home Connect cloud integration, and I just got the Home Connect Local working. I mostly use it for monitoring and calculating when I need to buy detergent and for delayed start (If I turn it on with the door closed and do not push start in 10 minutes, it auto-schedules to finish washing just before 6am) Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23.

The exact option that triggers the rejection varies, observed so far on a Siemens WM14UR5EM2/53: - `BSH.Common.Option.EnergyForecast` - `LaundryCare.Washer.Option.Prewash` - `LaundryCare.Washer.Option.LessIroning` - the literal string `unknown` (see secondary bug below) The pattern strongly suggests that any option which is not writable for the currently selected program will trigger the same error.

Limitations from the docs

The Home Connect API does not fully match the Home Connect app. Some programs, options, or settings available in the app may not be accessible or usable via the API.
This integration supports only one integration entry, as the Home Connect API does not allow for the unique identification of an account.
