timisation, troubleshooting or security updates.
To do this, you must be a registered Home Con-
nect user, have installed the app on your mobile device
and be connected to the Home Connect server.

stalling it via the Home Connect app if you are in your
local area network. The Home Connect app will inform
you once installation is successful.
