After setup

• Expose scenarios as button entitiesWhen ON: each Bosch SHC scenario also appears as a button entity in Home Assistant (in addition to the trigger_scenario service). Useful for dashboard tiles and automations that trigger scenarios directly. Default: off.
• Create diagnostic sensorsWhen ON (default): diagnostic sensor entities are created for each supported device — valve tappet position (thermostats) and communication quality (smart plugs). Turn OFF to reduce entity count if you do not need these sensors.
• Enable rawscan diagnostic serviceWhen ON: registers the bosch_shc.trigger_rawscan service for raw API debugging. Turn OFF to hide it. Default: on.
• Expose ALL Light/Shutter Control II as lightsTurn ON to present every Light Control II / in-wall light-switch device as a light entity at once — overrides the per-device selection below. Off (default) keeps the per-device choice. Same caveat: this swaps the entity domain (switch.* ↔ light.*), so update automations/dashboards that reference the old entities.
• Expose Light/Shutter Control II as lightsSelect the Light Control II / in-wall light-switch devices that should appear as light entities instead of switch entities. Each selected device's switch is replaced by an on/off light. Leave empty (default) to keep them as switches. Changing this swaps the entity domain (switch.* ↔ light.*), so update any automations or dashboards that reference the old entity.
• Suppress Hue lights from Bosch SHCWhen ON: Hue lights paired to the SHC are no longer exposed as entities by this integration. Use this to avoid duplicates when the Hue integration is also active. Default: off (Hue lights are shown).
• Suppress power & energy sensorsWhen ON: power and energy sensors (watt / kWh) are not created for smart plugs, BSM switches, micromodule controls, and the EMMA energy manager. Default: off (sensors are shown).
• Scenario button filterLeave empty to create buttons for ALL scenarios (default). Select one or more to limit buttons to only those scenarios. Applies only when 'Expose scenarios as button entities' is on.
• Suppress LEDVANCE lights from Bosch SHCWhen ON: LEDVANCE lights paired to the SHC are no longer exposed as entities by this integration. Use this to avoid duplicates when the LEDVANCE or Zigbee integration is also active. Default: off.
• Suppress motion detector indicator lightWhen ON: the indicator-LED brightness entity for Motion Detector II devices is not created. Default: off (entity is shown).
• Suppress Bosch camera switchesWhen ON: privacy-mode, light, and notification switch entities for Bosch cameras (Eyes / 360 / Outdoor Gen2) are not created. Use this when the Bosch Camera Tool is also active to avoid duplicate controls. Default: off.
• Enable per-room light groupsWhen ON: creates one aggregate light entity per SHC room with 2+ dimmable/color lights (LEDVANCE, Hue, Light/Shutter Control II dimmers), letting you turn all of a room's lights on/off from a single entity — mirroring the room-level control heating already has via Room Climate Control. On/off only, no brightness/colour aggregation. Default: off (no new entities).
• Expose Bosch automation rules as entitiesWhen ON: creates a switch (enable/disable) and a button (manually trigger) for every automation rule configured in the Bosch app — Bosch's own local rule engine, entirely separate from Home Assistant's own automations. Default: off (no new entities).
• Enable temperature-drop entitiesWhen ON: creates a switch (enable/disable) and a number (drop value) for each room's temperature-drop (anti-frost/window-open) service. Most setups don't use this feature. Default: off (no new entities).
• Bridge physical pushbuttons for HA automationsWhen ON: for every Shutter/Light Control II device with a physical detached pushbutton, creates a small automation directly on the Bosch Smart Home Controller that pulses a virtual on/off state when a button is pressed. That state already appears as a regular switch entity — use its on/off transitions as a trigger in your own Home Assistant automations. Turning this off removes the automations and states it created. Default: off (no new entities, nothing created on the Controller).
