Alternative (and improved) Home Connect integration for Home Assistant

In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge

What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

Entity	Shows up as	Note
`switch`	Switch or outlet
`binary_sensor`	Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…)
`sensor`	Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…)
`button`	Button (as a switch)
`select`	Mode picker (as switches)

What people report

Cloud-push integration for Bosch/Siemens Home Connect appliances; appliances that drop off WiFi show unavailable, and the cloud API rate limit applies.

Bosch dishwasher DWF97RW61	Works Cloud	Enum values and names added from reported values Saved copy Added EmumType values based on reported values from DWF97RW61, names are written as the Home Connect app. Even updated xx.Color41/42 based on names in the official app. Color30/31/32/40 is unchanged as they are not reported by model DWF97RW61 apparently. @ekutner Hope this is correct.

Siemens WD14U592 washer-dryer	Works Cloud	Program selection disabled while running; works when idle Saved copy Hi. I am currently testing your integration. For my Siemens WashDryer there are no options for the program input.select. The Remaining Program Time is also not available.

Bosch dishwasher SMS4EKW00E	Partly works	Works but EcoDry and delayed start options missing Saved copy Hello, I am using the Home Connect Local integration with my Bosch Dishwasher (Model: SMS4EKW00E / VIB: SMS4EKW00E). While the integration works beautifully, some specific features supported by the appliance's hardware are currently missing from the generated entities. Specifically, I am missing: EcoDry Option: Mapped internally as Dishcare.Dishwasher.Option.EcoDry (UID: 140E). Program Delay (Delayed Start): Mapped internally as BSH.Common.Option. StartInRelative (UID: 022E). I have extracted the local device configuration diagnostics directly from the integration to help map these features … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.

Siemens coffee maker	Partly works Cloud	Select option fails when appliance is offline from Home Connect cloud Saved copy Hello, I have an issue for an automation to start my Siemens coffee maker on a select option.

Siemens dryer	Partly works Cloud	State flips to unavailable when appliance WiFi reconnects repeatedly Saved copy Describe the bug The picture shows the operation state entity of my siemens dryer. The dryer finished yesterday evening at 17:37. You can see, that the state changes three times at 02:59, 04:03 and 04:33 from "BSH.Common.EnumType.OperationState.Finished" to "unavailable" This integration works fine for a long time and i didn't update the dryer firmware. So I think the problem comes with an update of HA or this integration. The problem is, that the operation state entity is the trigger for an alexa speaker notity automation and my wife was not in use, that alexa says "info dryer is finished" … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.

Home Connect ovens with camera	Requested Cloud	Oven snapshot camera not exposed by public API; PR closed Saved copy Summary This PR adds optional still-image snapshot support for Home Connect ovens whose camera image is visible in the official mobile app but not exposed by the public Home Connect developer API. The implementation is intentionally limited to the observed private snapshot flow: - Adds a `camera` entity for ovens backed by the private mobile media endpoint. - Adds a shared private snapshot coordinator so the camera and metadata sensors reuse the same snapshot metadata request. - Adds useful private camera metadata sensors for supported ovens: last snapshot time, snapshot age, upload status, … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.
