Incidents

This is a list of all consumer protection incidents related to this product. Any incidents not mentioned here can be found in the Bosch Spexor category.

Built-in battery (2019 until EOL)

The device has an integrated battery that cannot be replaced easily (in fact, Bosch warns in their end of life FAQ: "Please do not open the housing: permanently installed batteries may only be removed for disposal by qualified personnel.").

As lithium ion batteries deteriorate over time, this articifially limits the lifetime of the product and makes servicing unnecessarily complicated. It also makes it impossible to temporarily ensure that no data is being collected and transmitted to any cloud service by simply removing the battery, or even to simply reboot the device in case of a software hang.

Device becomes useless due to Bosch switching off cloud service (2025-07)

In May 2025, Bosch announced that the device would effectively become e-waste later that year when cloud services are scheduled to be switched off. All associated data would also be erased from their servers. As a reason, Bosch cites unexpectedly low demand for the device.

Since the device offers no official way for it to be accessed locally without cloud, neither through an app nor a smart home system like Home Assistant, users are left with no options to keep using a technically fully functional device they bought.

German tech website Heise Online posted pictures of the interior in the hope of finding a way to give the device a second life.
