Bosch warranty

[maciejmiara]

I'd like to ask Bosch about this project and this prebuilt device https://bbqkees-electronics.nl/product/gateway-e32-v2-ethernet-wifi-edition-v2-kit/
I would like to know if they're going to void a warranty if I use it for reading data (read-only) mode.
I need to send them a link to a specific device to get their reply.

Can I freely ask Bosch about that, or is there a risk that they'd shut this project down?
I can see that it has existed for quite a long time, so I'm not sure if they're aware of it and what their policies are.

Bosch - or better: I´m speaking about Buderus in my case - is well aware about the bbqkees electronics. It is part of their market observation.
They will not be able to shut down this project. What should be their leverage for it? You own (I think you will not lease it?) the equipment and you can do what you want with it.
Maybe they could reject warranty if you connect the bbqkees electronics to the EMS bus.
I would be interested in their answer.

I definitely won't lease it.
If they're already aware, then I'm gonna ask them.
The worst thing they can do is to void a warranty.
Will write here, when I'll have an answer.

IMHO, they would then have to also void warranty for anyone using non OEM thermostats etc. which is quite frequently done...

Bosch service technician was here for the maintenance; the EMS-ESP was plugged in. He used his service device without unplugging mine and said that he sees these gadgets quite often, that it is no problem and they do not even need to be unplugged. The service visit was carried out under warranty without any issues.

thanks for coming back and sharing this info with us.

Now I can confirm, that Bosch doesn't have problem with that. I asked one technician and he consulted with Bosch.
The only thing is, that if mainboard would break, they can void warranty for it. They simply don't know if this device didn't send improper voltage to the mainboard.
