Bosch unifies all smart home activities, including software and sensor system expertise, in a dedicated subsidiary-- Robert Bosch Smart Home GmbH.
The newly formed subsidiary will offer "many products and services," with one example being a solution combining security with heating control. The system will be expandable, modular and based on open standards (making it compatible with 3rd party devices), and Bosch promises the "highest standards" of data security and transparency.
A central smart home controller and companion mobile device app handle control duties.
