Home Connect is the IoT Ecosystem brand for home appliances by the B/S/H Group which is the home of these appliance brands: Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau, Neff, Thermador, Constructa, Balay, Pitsos, Junker, Profilo. The products require the owner to register with a BSH owned single-sign-on-provider and create a cloud account to enable the WiFi functionality . After this you are graciously allowed to disconnect the appliances from the cloud and use it offline with their app (no official local API provided) which bears the question of ownership of the device. They claim this to be necessary for security and call the (only after registration available) offline option 'No Cloud mode', which can be considered gaslighting. Primary function of the app is not controlling the device but up-selling more B/S/H products which can be discerned from that it takes two clicks from opening the app the see the remaining time on the washing program but zero clicks to see more products to buy.
