connected to the Internet, your 

appliance transmits the following 

categories of data to the Home Connect 

server (initial registration):

Unique appliance identification 

(consisting of appliance codes as 

well as the MAC address of the 

installed Wi-Fi communication 

module).

Security certificate of the Wi-Fi 

communication module (to ensure a 

secure data connection).

The current software and hardware 

version of your household appliance.

Status of any previous resetting to 

factory settings.

This initial registration prepares the 

Home Connect functions for use and is 

only required when you want to use 

these Home Connect functions for the 

first time.

Note:  

Ensure that the Home Connect
