About

Home Connect Alt is an alternative Home Connect integration for Bosch, Siemens, Constructa and Neff appliances. It reads entities dynamically from the Home Connect cloud API, so each appliance shows only what it supports, and updates arrive by cloud push. It adds selects, switches and numbers for programs, options and global settings, plus sensors, binary sensors, times and buttons to start, pause, resume and stop a program. Program Started and Program Finished are available as device triggers for automations. Advanced options cover language code, entity name template, event stream timeout, translation mode and delayed start behavior. Setup runs in the UI through the vendor's sign-in page and needs a Home Connect developer application.
