At the beginning of 2024, the BSH group, producer of well-known household brands such as Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau and Neff, will switch to using Matter technology, the latest technology in smart home connectivity. The refrigerators are the first to go, specifically the spacious XXL built-in fridge-freezer combinations. In Matter 1.2, a large number of household appliances have been added, including refrigerators, dishwashers and washing machines.
The BSH group, which includes heavyweights such as Bosch and Siemens, is at the forefront of this innovation as some of their appliances are already connected via the cloud and can be controlled remotely with Home Connect.
Matter 1.2 promises a seamless connection between various home appliances, and BSH plans to adopt this standard in their refrigerators that will allow users to control the temperature remotely. While details on which current models will support Matter have not yet been announced, it is likely that only more recent devices will be compatible.
Furthermore, in 2024, the Bosch Smart Home controller will function as a Matter bridge, which will play a crucial role in the new ecosystem of connected devices. This will herald a gradual transition to a fully Matter-compatible smart home system, although it is still unclear when other appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers will follow.
Matter does not yet support everything; for example, there is no support for cameras yet. Nevertheless, this update marks an important step forward in the world of smart kitchen appliance

English Antitrust yesterday published the list of issues it intends to evaluate to give the green light to the merger of a large part of # whirlpool ‘s European activities with those of arçelik in beko europe . Two weeks of fire began for the corporate affairs teams of Whirlpool Corporation , led in Europe by Maurizio David Sberna and of Arçelik Global . They have until November 21st to demonstrate to the Competition and Markets Authority that the operation would not significantly reduce the competitive framework in the medium-low range of the washing and cooking categories. Whirlpool’s key argument is “if the merger doesn’t happen we would leave the market and competition would be reduced anyway”. Arçelik seems to understand from the statements of its CEO Hakan Bulgurlu that “the crisis phase of the sector is not short-term” and rationalization therefore appears to be the only way to transfer value to consumers.
AMDEA urges retailers to share tips
The UK trade association for manufacturers of large and small domestic appliances, is calling on retailers to help homeowners make simple changes to their appliance usage to save money and cut energy consumption.
As part of its Know Watt’s Watt campaign, AMDEA says that £80 a year can be saved by always washing clothes and dishes on the eco-cycle. The association also advises that £60 can be saved by cooking food in the microwave rather than the oven. Taken together, this conserves almost enough electricity to power a washing machine on eco-mode for two years. Other small maintenance tasks, such as descaling the kettle, can help maintain efficiency and extend appliance lifespan.

THE BORA M PURE OFFERS ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY
The new BORA M Pure is the most flexible of the compact cooktop extractor systems. Pots, pans and other cookware of all shapes and sizes fit perfectly onto the cooktops. Roasts for festive meals can be placed on the surface induction cooktop on the right while the left cooktop optimally detects small pans or even espresso makers thanks to the circular induction zones. The new BORA M Pure is a logical progression from our popular BORA Pure cooktop extractor system. It is a premium model that has been designed without compromise for the most flexible and enjoyable cooking experiences. The two surface induction cooking zones on the right can be connected together by the bridging function to create a large zone. This optimally heats large cookware, such is the BORA grill pan. If the roaster is sufficiently large and permanent pan size recognition is enabled, the zones are automatically combined. The two individual cooking zones on the left with zone induction are ideal for smaller pots, pans and espresso makers.
