Bosch and Matter: certified devices, the Controller II bridge and setup

By Rowan Hale, editor (pen name) · Reviewed 2026-10-28

The CSA Distributed Compliance Ledger for vendor 4617 includes the Smart Home Controller II bridge (SH-MB-1) and four direct Bosch Smart Home device records—Radiator Thermostat II [+M] (EU12306), Door/Window Contact II [+M] (EU12309), Plug Compact [+M] (BSP-FD) and Motion Detector II [+M] (BSEN-M2D)—alongside Bosch Home Comfort Climate 7000i, Climate 7100i, Logacool AC186i, Aero 700, Air 2000i/4000i/6000i and IP Gateway G10-3 part numbers. Direct Matter works only on the four [+M] devices; everything else needs the Controller II as a bridge. the CSA's Distributed Compliance Ledger

Radiator Thermostat II [+M] (EU12306), Door/Window Contact II [+M] (EU12309), Plug Compact [+M] (BSP-FD) and Motion Detector II [+M] (BSEN-M2D)

These four part numbers appear in the same CSA ledger feed as the SH Matter Bridge. the CSA's Distributed Compliance Ledger

Bosch's GB Matter page says that a [+M] device can be integrated directly into a Matter system without a Bosch Smart Home controller, and that switching between the Bosch Smart Home system and the chosen Matter system is possible after purchase. Bosch's Matter compatibility page At the launch of the [+M] line, Bosch named only the Radiator Thermostat II [+M], Door/Window Contact II [+M] and Smart Plug Compact [+M], with more products to follow; the German Matter page now also lists Bewegungsmelder II [+M] as an available [+M] product.

Bosch's Matter page says Matter devices connect over Thread, WLAN or a bridge, but the ledger part-number records for these four devices do not state the transport, so check the box for Thread or WLAN. Bosch's Matter compatibility page the CSA's Distributed Compliance Ledger

Smart Home Controller II as the SH Matter Bridge (SH-MB-1) and the 14 May 2024 update

The CSA ledger lists the bridge as "SH Matter Bridge", part number SH-MB-1. the CSA's Distributed Compliance Ledger The bridge is not a separate product; it is the Bosch Smart Home Controller II with Matter bridge software. Bosch's Controller II product page lists the hardware device type designation as BSHC-2, part number 8750002101 and EAN 4062321635862. Bosch's Controller II page (German)

Bosch's 14 May 2024 release notes state that the update made the following devices Matter-compatible when registered on the Bosch Smart Home Controller II: Motion detector, Dimmer, Radiator thermostat and Radiator Thermostat II, Room thermostat and Room Thermostat II, Underfloor-heating room thermostat and Room Thermostat II 230 V, Relay, Door/window contact and Door/window contact II plus, Smart plug and Smart Plug Compact. Bosch's May 2024 release notes

The bridge rollout appeared in the Bosch press portal on 6 June 2024, with the update set to finish by 9 June 2024. Bosch called the Controller II the first Bosch device to support Matter and said the bridge uses local encrypted communication rather than cloud detours. Bosch's Matter bridge press release

To switch on the bridge, open the Bosch Smart Home app and go to More > Partners > matter. Bosch's May 2024 release notes The Controller II product page describes the same path: the controller acts as a Matter Bridge after a software update and exposes many existing Bosch devices to Matter apps, while the full feature set stays in the Bosch Smart Home app. Bosch's Controller II page (German)

The Controller II product page also says it works with Bosch Smart Home devices of generation II, the Außensirene, Bewegungsmelder, Twinguard, Twist, Wassermelder, Zwischenstecker kompakt and all Bosch Smart Home models carrying the +M mark. Bosch's Controller II page (German)

The Controller II hardware talks to Bosch Zigbee devices on 2.4–2.4835 GHz with a maximum transmit power of 10 dBm and connects to the router via a 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 port. Bosch's Controller II page (German) Bosch's Matter compatibility page says a bridge translates the manufacturer's Zigbee standard into Matter IP. Bosch's Matter compatibility page

Climate 7000i, Climate 7100i, Logacool AC186i, Aero 700, Air 2000i/4000i/6000i and IP Gateway G10-3 on the CSA ledger

Bosch Home Comfort products account for most of the vendor 4617 records. The table below lists every heating, cooling and air-treatment part number on the ledger.

All part numbers in this table come from the CSA's Distributed Compliance Ledger page for vendor 4617. Bosch's Matter pages do not list per-platform control details for these Home Comfort units. Across MatterCheck's matrix, thermostats pair and control on all seven platforms. Automation triggers are Unknown on Apple Home and Alexa and Yes on Google Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant, Homey, and Hubitat, so a Climate 7000i buyer should check the platform page before relying on automations. For how Matter platforms treat appliance and thermostat device types, see Matter thermostats: Apple, Google, Alexa, ST, HA.

Pairing EU12306, EU12309, BSP-FD and BSEN-M2D: Bosch partner apps and the More > Partners > matter menu

Bosch's Controller II page names Apple Home, Google Home and Amazon Alexa as partner integrations. Bosch's Controller II page (German) The 14 May 2024 release notes say the Matter bridge is activated in the Bosch Smart Home app under More > Partners > matter. Bosch's May 2024 release notes Pairing steps therefore come from the platform app, not from Bosch; see the platform pages below.

Sharing a paired Bosch device to a second platform is covered in sharing a Matter device to a second platform.

The compact plug through the SH Matter Bridge: switch on/off and automations only in Matter

Bosch publishes a feature table for the plug in combination with the Controller II. In Matter apps, the table shows switch on/off and automations or scenarios work, depending on the selected Matter system. Energy consumption level, current power consumption, schedules, weekly overview, profiles, repeater settings, status after power cut and alarm-system or motion-light services stay in the Bosch Smart Home system. A radio stick (868 MHz) is required for use. Bosch's plug feature table (PDF, German)

¹ Bosch says possible use depends on the selected Matter smart home system. Bosch's plug feature table (PDF, German)

Bosch's Matter compatibility page makes the same split: advanced functions, special time programs and proprietary services are not covered by Matter apps and stay in the system provider's own app. Bosch's Matter compatibility page For device-specific Matter behaviour, see Matter thermostat support by platform, Matter contact sensor on each platform and Matter smart plugs: Apple, Google, Alexa, ST, HA.

If the Matter setup code or pairing process fails

If a Bosch device will not pair, check that your platform hub and Thread border router are online, that the device is in pairing mode, and that the setup code you are scanning matches the device or its packaging. For a controller-first setup, the Controller II product page says a first-time update can take up to 30 minutes and is finished when the LEDs glow solid green; during that time pairing is not possible. Bosch's Controller II page (German) For step-by-step troubleshooting, see Matter device not pairing: fix on Apple, Google, Alexa, HA.

Should you buy Bosch for Matter?

Buy a [+M] device — EU12306, EU12309, BSP-FD or BSEN-M2D — if you want direct Matter without a Bosch controller. Buy the Controller II (8750002101) only if you already own older Bosch Zigbee devices and accept that energy monitoring, schedules and services stay in the Bosch app, per the plug feature table PDF. Bosch's plug feature table (PDF, German)

MatterCheck's matrix rows support contact sensors and thermostats on Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, Home Assistant, Homey, and Hubitat. Hubitat rows show pairing and control for both device types, with thermostat automation triggers and actions marked Yes and contact sensor triggers marked Yes but actions marked No. Those Hubitat ratings are Medium confidence, based on Hubitat's list of compatible devices and release notes, not a hands-on test; the list does not name these Bosch models.
