Frequently Asked Questions - Smart Home Smoke Detector BOSCH

How do I install the Bosch Smart Home Smoke Detector?

Installation requires a Bosch Smart Home Controller and the Bosch Smart Home App. Start the app, select 'Add device', scan the QR code on the back of the smoke detector, and follow the in-app instructions. You can mount the detector on the ceiling using screws or the included adhesive strip. Ensure the emergency light points toward the escape route.

What should I do if the smoke detector alarms continuously?

If the alarm sounds repeatedly, press the operating button on the triggering device (identified by a red flashing LED) to mute all connected alarms. Smoke detection is then deactivated for 10 minutes. If the alarm persists without smoke, check for dust or a low battery (single beep every 43 seconds with red LED flash). Replace the detector if the battery is low (battery is not replaceable).

How often should I test the smoke detector?

Test the smoke detector monthly by briefly pressing the operating button or using the app. A successful test produces three audible beeps, a red flashing LED, and the emergency light illuminates. After the test, the LED flashes red every 10 seconds for 10 minutes. If these signals do not occur, the device is faulty and should be replaced.

Can I use the smoke detector without a Bosch Smart Home Controller?

No. The Bosch Smart Home Smoke Detector requires a Bosch Smart Home Controller and the Bosch Smart Home App for setup and operation. It cannot function as a standalone device without the controller.

How long does the battery last, and can I replace it?

The built-in lithium battery lasts a typical of >10 years under normal storage and use conditions ( -5°C to +30°C, monthly tests). The battery is not replaceable; the entire smoke detector must be replaced when the battery is depleted or after 10 years of use.

Where is the best location to mount the smoke detector?

Mount the detector on the ceiling in every bedroom, children's room, and hallway serving as an escape route. For maximum protection, also install in living areas, attics, and basements. Avoid locations near direct sunlight, heat/cold sources, or with less than 0.5 m clearance around the detector. Ensure the emergency light points towards the escape route.

What does the emergency light do, and how do I orient it?

The integrated emergency light illuminates the escape route during an alarm. During installation, align the mounting bracket so that the recessed marking for the emergency light (visible on the inside of the bracket) points toward the desired escape direction.

Is the smoke detector compatible with other smart home systems?

No. The smoke detector is designed to work exclusively with the Bosch Smart Home System using the Bosch Smart Home Controller. It cannot be used with other smart home platforms.

How do I clean and maintain the smoke detector?

Perform a monthly visual inspection. Clean the smoke inlet openings along the sides with a damp cloth if clogged by dust or dirt. Do not paint or wallpaper over the device. Check that the mounting bracket is firmly fixed and there is 0.5 m clear space around the detector.

What should I do if the smoke detector is faulty?

If the device fails the functional test or shows any fault (e.g., continuous alarm without smoke, low battery signal), contact Bosch customer service at 00800 8437 6278. The product does not contain user-serviceable parts; do not open it. In case of a fault, the entire smoke detector must be replaced.

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.

You can also watch easy to follow installation videos on our website: www.bosch-smarthome.com/installation

5.1 Installation

Start the Bosch Smart Home App and select "Add device".

The app will prompt you to scan the QR code found on the back of the smoke detector.

5.2 Activating the device

The next step in the app is the activation of the smoke detector.

Twist the smoke detector into the mounting bracket.

The Smoke Detector is operational once it is twisted into the mounting bracket. Please note that inadvertently pressing the operating button will trigger a test alarm.

From this point, the app guides you through the installation process. You will find a detailed description in this instruction manual.

6.0 MOUNTING THE SMOKE DETECTOR

6.1 Mounting instructions

It is best practice to install several smoke detectors in your home to be fully protected. As a minimum we recommend that they are installed in every bedroom, kids room and in all hallways that serve as an escape route. For the maximum effectiveness we recommend that additional smoke detectors should be installed in living areas, attics and basements.

In order to prevent injury, the mounting instructions in this instruction manual must be followed and the general safety regulations observed.

The smoke detector should be mounted on the ceiling, the diagrams above gives guidance on best practice for installation locations.

When choosing a mounting location and when drilling, pay attention to potential electrical cables and/or pipes that could be behind the wall.

The app will guide you through the following mounting steps. You can choose between mounting with either the screws or the adhesive strip.

Ensure you have positioned the emergency light in the desired position.

There is a round recess on the inside of the mounting bracket. This shows the position of the emergency light.

▶ Hold the mounting bracket in the desired position ensuring the emergency light is in the correct orientation

▶ Mark the drill holes

▶ Drill the holes and insert the plugs

▶ Position the mounting bracket and screw in place

▶ Now twist the smoke detector into the mounting bracket

6.3 Fixing with adhesive tapes

▶ Twist the smoke detector into the mounting bracket

Please note when firmly pressing the smoke detector with the mounting bracket against the ceiling that inadvertently pressing the operating button will trigger a test alarm.

▶ Attach the adhesive strip to the mounting bracket and peel off the second protective film
▶ Make sure the emergency light is pointing towards the escape route
▶ Now press the smoke detector with mounting bracket attached firmly against the ceiling

6.4 Functional test

We recommend that you test your smoke detector immediately following installation and then again every month after.

▶ To do so, briefly press the operating button or start a functional test via the app.

The alarm will sound three times, the alarm LED will flash red and the emergency light will light up. Following a successful test the alarm LED flashes red every 10 seconds for 10 minutes. During this time the product will be muted.

If the signals described do not occur, the product is faulty. If this is the case, replace the product.

After a functional test or switching off the alarm, smoke detection will be deactivated for 10 minutes and the product will be muted.

There must be a functioning wireless network and internet connection in order for warnings to be sent in the event of a potential fire. Robert Bosch Smart Home GmbH is not able to offer a guarantee on the time it will take for this notification to be transmitted.

Please note that the emergency services number stored in the app will not be automatically called if the smoke detector detects smoke. If necessary, you always have to call the emergency services yourself!

You need to ensure that your mobile device is on and connected to a mobile communications network in order for it to receive warnings and notifications from the Smart Home Smoke Detector.

7.0 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

We recommend you inspect and test your smoke detector on a monthly basis.

7.1 Visual inspection

The smoke inlet openings along the sides and the sound outlets are not clogged (e.g. by dust, dirt or paint)
▶ If necessary, clean the smoke detector carefully with a damp cloth

▶ Check for any damage and that the bracket is still firmly fixed in place.
▶ Ensure that there is a clear space of 0.5 m around your smoke detector so smoke detection is not hindered (e.g. by furnishing).

8.0 ALARM AND TROUBLESHOOTING

8.1 Switching off the alarm

If you have multiple smoke detectors installed, an alarm can only be muted on the detector that detected the potential fire. This can be identified by the red flashing LED.

▶ Pressing the operating button on the triggering device will silence all other alarms at the same time.

8.2 Faults and measures

Audible signal	Visual signal	Cause	Flx
The alarm sounds once every 43 seconds.	The LED flashes red once every 43 seconds.	The battery level is low.	The battery itself cannot be replaced, the smoke detector should be replaced.
