Autonomous lawn care is even more convenient with the Connect models of the Bosch Indego robotic lawnmower: Garden lovers can now connect their Indego S+ with over 700 products and services via the IFTTT connectivity platform at www.ifttt.com. The Indego S+ is one of the first robotic lawnmowers on the market, which makes home automation accessible to users in this way. Bosch has opted for a leading provider in this field to do this: More than 18 million registered users already use IFTTT to connect smart products and services in their home and garden. IFTTT, short for “if this, then that”, enables users to get all their apps and devices talking to each other. Predefined or self-created “if, then” rules known as Applets offer garden lovers various options to control the robotic lawnmower and to adapt lawn care to their own requirements. The Indego is in good company: Bosch household appliances such as the Roxxter robot vacuum cleaner or connected coffee and washing machines are also available on IFTTT. This way, Bosch is consistently expanding the possibilities with connectivity.
