Home Connect Developer Program

We're expanding the Home Connect API with powerful MAP endpoints for Bosch Spotless cleaning robots.

The new APIs provide developers with access to mapping and navigation-related data, including robot position, map information, active cleaning paths, custom boundaries, and historical cleaning summaries. These capabilities enable richer smart home experiences, advanced visualizations, and innovative automation scenarios.

Start exploring the new endpoints today and bring map-aware experiences to your integrations.

We are excited to announce the launch of a new, dedicated domain for the Home Connect Developer Portal: developer.home-connect.cn
This new route is specifically designed to better serve our valued developer community in China.
If you are a developer or partner based in China, we strongly encourage you to begin accessing the Developer Portal using this new link for an optimized experience. This dedicated domain aligns with our commitment to providing tailored resources and support.
For developers creating applications for China, it is essential to use api.home-connect.cn for API calls.
Please remember to enable the "Sync to China" option in your app settings.

We are pleased to announce the release of the Client Secret Rotation feature on the Home Connect Developer Portal.
You can now generate a new client secret for any of your registered applications at any time - simply navigate to your application's settings and select "Rotate Client-Secret", and your new credential will be issued instantly while the old one is invalidated.

This enhancement gives you greater control over your application's security posture, making it straightforward to respond to compromised credentials and stay aligned with OAuth 2.0 best practices.

An updated version of the Home Connect Simulator service was released in early April. This tool is designed to streamline your testing and development workflows for Home Connect integrations.
The Simulator enables Developers to test their applications against virtual home appliances. This allows for experimentation with various appliance states, commands, and events without requiring physical devices.
This latest release incorporates improvements aimed at performance and stability.

We encourage all Developers to explore this updated Simulator to accelerate their integration progress and build with confidence.
