Bosch Smart Home Camera

Adds your Bosch Smart Home cameras (Eyes Außenkamera, 360 Innenkamera, Gen2 Eyes Outdoor II / Indoor II) as fully featured entities in Home Assistant — including a custom Lovelace card with live streaming, controls, and event info.

⚠️ MAJOR CHANGE: Auth provider changed (since v8.0.5)

Bosch switched to a new OAuth client (oss_residential_app) starting with v8.0.5. Existing installations must re-authenticate once to migrate from the legacy residential_app client.

Easiest path (v9.1.5+ — in-place migration, no data loss)

  1. Update to v9.1.5 or later via HACS
  2. Settings → Devices & Services → Bosch Smart Home Camera → Configure
  3. If you're still on the legacy client, a "Migrate to new OAuth client (oss_residential_app)" checkbox appears at the bottom — enable it and submit
  4. Click the Reconfigure banner that appears on the integration card → browser opens Bosch SingleKey ID login → log in
  5. Done! All your entities, automations, options, FCM config, and SMB settings are preserved.

Also supported — automatic reauth banner (v9.1.4+)

If your refresh token has already expired on Bosch's side, Home Assistant will automatically show a Reconfigure banner on the integration card the moment Keycloak rejects the stored token. Clicking it runs the same auto-login flow. No manual action required.

Legacy manual fallback (still works)

  1. Settings → Devices & Services → Bosch Smart Home Camera → Configure
  2. Enable "Re-login" at the bottom → Submit
  3. Open the displayed URL in your browser, log in at Bosch
  4. After login you'll land on a 404 page (bosch.com/boschcam) — this is expected!
  5. Copy the full URL from the address bar (contains ?code=...) and paste it into HA
