How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No electrical work is needed.

  • Verify account: Open the Bosch app and confirm you are logged into the correct account. Log out and log back in if necessary.
  • Re‑link device: In the app, remove the thermostat (if visible), then follow the add‑device procedure to re‑register it to your account.
  • Check time and date: Ensure the thermostat’s time and date are correct (either via internet sync or manual setting), as large discrepancies can cause authentication failures.
  • Update app and firmware: Install the latest version of the Bosch app and ensure the thermostat firmware is up to date.
  • Wait and retry: If the issue coincides with known Bosch service maintenance, wait 30–60 minutes and try again.
