Possible Causes

Thermostat not connected to Bosch cloud, Router blocking outbound ports, Double NAT or restrictive firewall, Bosch account not properly linked to device

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No electrical work is needed.

  • Check local control: Confirm that the app works when your phone is on the same Wi‑Fi network as the thermostat.
  • Verify cloud status: Ensure the thermostat shows as online in the app and that no cloud error codes (E01/E20) are present.
  • Router/firewall: If using advanced firewall settings, allow outbound HTTPS traffic and disable any rules that block IoT devices from reaching the internet.
  • Account linking: In the Bosch app, confirm that the thermostat is registered to your account and not to a previous owner. Remove and re‑add if necessary.
  • Test from mobile data: Turn off Wi‑Fi on your phone and try controlling the thermostat over cellular to confirm remote access.
