Connecting your Bosch dishwasher to Wi-Fi

Connecting your Bosch dishwasher to Wi-Fi Almost any modern technology can be connected to home Wi-Fi, but it is not always easy to figure out this process. And it’s really worth connecting a Bosch dishwasher to Wi-Fi, because this way you can use the equipment in a new way, integrating it into the Smart Home system. We will analyze in detail the connection process, after which the “home assistant” can be controlled without even getting up from the couch.

Installing Home Connect and Wi-Fi

The very first thing you need to do is download the Home Connect app from the App Store or Google Play. Without it, it is impossible to connect, because to integrate the dishwasher into the home network, you need a password that cannot be entered using the buttons on the PMM control panel. In addition, most of the functions are only available through the application, so let's move on to installation.

Go to your chosen app store.
Search for “Home Connect” and add it to your downloads.
Open the application and first click the “Add device” button, and then “New device”.
Complete the simple registration according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and then go to your “Home Connect” profile.

The integration process is described in more detail in the “Home Connect” user manual, which comes with your Bosch dishwasher.

Prepare a Home Connect guide.
Go to the “Add another device” menu.
Select Quick Start Guide with QR Code.
Scan the OR code from your printed manual.
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
Turn on the dishwasher and wait about 10 seconds.
Hold down the “Setup” key located on the PMM panel for 3 seconds.
On your smartphone or tablet, select the “Find devices” option.

Afterwards all you have to do is select a Wi-Fi router, enter the password and wait for the dishwasher to connect. Thus, the connection process will take less than five minutes even for an inexperienced user.

Reactivating Wi-Fi

A common situation is when the connection with the router is interrupted due to a network failure or errors in the Bosch dishwasher itself. To reactivate, you need to make sure that the router is working and is located near the dishwasher. If the machine is within the range of the device, then we proceed to the connection.

Press the power button on the Home Assistant.
Press the “Setup” key again for 3 seconds until the sign with crooked arrows flashes on the display.
Press the Setup button again and hold it for 3 seconds until the water tap and sun icons start flashing.
Now you need to hold down the “Start” button so that the WLAN LED lights up to the right of the sun icon.

After that, all you have to do is save the settings in the device’s memory, for which you need to press and hold the “Setup” button again for 3 seconds.

How can I enable PMM remotely?

Remote activation of the sink is available to all users who have connected the device to Wi-Fi. To enable you need to follow the instructions.

Press the dishwasher's power button.
To activate the installation of the machine, you need to hold down the “Setup” button for 3 seconds. After the sign with crooked arrows starts flashing, press “Setup” again for 3 seconds so that the icon with a water tap appears.
Press the "Start" key until the 3 LEDs in the bottom row light up.

The last step is the already familiar “Setup” button, which must be held for 3 seconds to save the settings into the dishwasher’s memory. This concludes the guide to integrating PMM into the Smart Home system - we wish you pleasant use of your smart household appliances!
