Home Connect settings
Home Connect can be adapted to your specific needs at
any time.
Note:
You will find the Home Connect settings in the
basic settings for your appliance. Which settings the
display shows will depend on whether Home Connect
has been set up and whether the appliance is
connected to your home network.
Remote diagnostics
Customer Service can use Remote Diagnostics to
access your appliance if you contact them, have your
appliance connected to the Home Connect server and if
Remote Diagnostics is available in the country in which
you are using the appliance.
Note:
For further information and details about the
availability of Remote Diagnostics in your country,
please visit the service/support section of your local
website: www.home-connect.com
About data protection
When your appliance is connected for the first time to a
WLAN network, which is 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 WiFi communication module).
▯
Security certificate of the WiFi communication
module (to ensure a secure IT connection).
▯
The current software and hardware version of your
domestic 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 functions can be
used only in conjunction with the Home Connect app.
Information on data protection can be accessed in the
Home Connect app.
