Don’t you just love it when your towels come out of the dryer all soft and fluffy? To get that luxurious laundry result your washing machine and dryer are both equally important. One ensures cleanliness and freshness, the other guarantees a sleek finish. It’s all about choosing the right settings - and Home Connect is here to help.

How Home Connect works with a smart dryer

Smart dryers with the Home Connect function from Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau, and NEFF help you to select the right programme for your washing and ensure a perfect result. You simply send the dryer information on the properties of your textiles and your drying requirements using the Home Connect app.

Sensors constantly measure the temperature and moisture of the textiles during the drying process. The dryer then dries your washing really gently and precisely to the required degree of dryness. This means that the appliance uses less energy, and your washing comes out of the dryer without creases.

In addition, you can use the app on your smartphone or tablet to flexibly define when your Home Connect dryer from Bosch, or another home appliance brand, starts its work. The smart dryer adapts to your daily schedule, not the other way round.

What are you waiting for? Take a look at the possibilities that a Home Connect dryer has to offer.

"Your washing is ready for drying"

As soon as the wash cycle ends, your smart dryer steps in to finish the job. Thanks to Smart Dry technology, both appliances can tailor their programmes perfectly to each other. Smart Dry sends the settings of the last washing programme to your dryer and chooses the appropriate drying programme automatically. When it’s done, the app sends a push notification to your smartphone – and other connected devices.

Find the best setting for any fabric

To find the right drying programme for any load of laundry, simply enter the textile type and drying requirements using the Home Connect app. The Program Assistant function then gives you a recommendation. You can even start the cycle via the app and get updated on its progress.

Enjoy more convenience and confidence

Everyone has at least one item of clothing that they are too scared to put in the dryer in case it shrinks. Well, not anymore. With AutoDry, your favourite clothes are safe. A network of sensors constantly measure the temperature and humidity inside the drum. The smart dryer automatically adjusts the heat and duration to prevent overheating, so that your delicate fabrics do not shrink or get damaged. There’s also an intelligent setting that for reducing wrinkles. So, you can place clothes directly into your wardrobe – no ironing needed.
