Be aware of all that’s important

Oh, the fridge door has been left open? When do I need to descale the coffee machine? Important notifications and reminders regarding maintenance and care will be sent to you automatically. And even if things don’t go to plan: Using remote diagnostics our customer service will help you out with resolving the issue. You can also simply check the manual which is conveniently stored in the app.

Voice-control your household via Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa

Whether it’s making coffee, preheating the oven, or starting the washing machine: Voice your command and Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa will take care of the rest. What’s more, you can use predefined or individual routines for recurring tasks, like having your coffee made at the same time each working day.

Finding the best program and other little helpers

Dishwasher, dryer, or oven – depending on the appliance and task at hand, the app will recommend the right program with the ideal settings, whether it’s a pile of dirty dishes, a load of washing, or the cheesecake recipe for your next family reunion. And with Coffee Playlist you can even fulfil your guests’ coffee needs to match that cheesecake.

Ratings and reviews

Loses all connectivity with the dishwasher every 2 weeks or so, requiring complete reset of the machine and re-pairing with the app. When doing so, the app refers to "Step 3" of a manual gateway of just telling/showing you what it wants - Major fail! The only road to success seems to be to ignore the app and simply scan the QR code printed on the dishwasher door to restart the entire process from start to finish. This would actually be almost bearable if the problem didn't recur so regularly.

Overly complex and broken setup process. Tried with both an android and iPhone. Bad choice using Wi-Fi instead of a simple Bluetooth pairing or have the cooktop implement a keyboard to enter the home's wifi credentials. asked for a "step 3" that was nowhere to be found, not even by the app online. Ridiculous.

Installs on my phone, sees my fridge, reflects changes on fridge status so that's at least something this app can do. What it can't do is link with Google Home since Home just states it can't see any appliance on the account. It doesn't really help me since I don't care about changing settings on my fridge. It's a fridge. I want to get notifications via Google if fridge door has been left open. That's it. A very simple thing that would have been helpful with smart connectivity, but fails, sadly.
