BLUCONNECT / USER GUIDE

BluConnect Plus

Last updated: 7 October 2026

BluConnect works on the free plan. BluConnect Plus removes the limits and unlocks extra features such as automations, Home Hub and multiple homes. Plus applies to your whole home.

What the free plan includes

Free plan limits: up to 2 devices, 1 appliance for program tracking and 1 home. The limit applies to the whole home: the same devices stay available on every phone and for every member.

  • Device control and the All features form on every device
  • Rooms, favorites and Home summary
  • Running now and Start programs (for 1 appliance)
  • Scenes
  • Manufacturer accounts, local devices without an account, Apple Home / Google Home, Home Assistant and Matter
  • TV remote
  • Energy dashboard
  • Cameras: live view and snapshots
  • Inviting family members to your home
  • App lock
  • Widgets & Control Center, Siri & Shortcuts

What Plus adds

  • Unlimited devices and program tracking on any number of appliances
  • Automations: routines that run on their own at a set time, at sunrise or when a device changes
  • Automations without a Hub: in homes without a Home Hub, the BluConnect server runs your automations
  • Location triggers: when you arrive, when you leave, when nobody is home
  • Notifications from routines and "notify me when done"
  • Home Hub
  • Infrared remote (the phone's IR blaster or a Broadlink)
  • Energy cost: bill by tariff and month-end forecast
  • Camera control (PTZ)
  • Vacuum map editing
  • Guest access: limiting members to specific rooms and devices
  • Multiple households
  • Wall panel and Kiosk mode on tablets

Getting Plus

Tapping a locked feature opens the same screen, noting that the feature is part of Plus. Purchase options are shown only to the home's admin; other members see a note that Plus is tied to the admin's account. Only the options currently on sale are listed.

  1. On the Account screen, tap the BluConnect Plus card at the top.
  2. Choose Monthly, Yearly or One-time. Prices come from the store, based on your country.
  3. Tap the free trial button on a subscription that offers one, or Upgrade to Plus otherwise.
  4. Confirm the payment in the App Store or Google Play window.

Free trial and one-time purchase

  • Monthly and yearly subscriptions come with a 3-day free trial.
  • The trial is for new subscribers only, once per person; if you tried monthly, you can't try yearly again.
  • Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts at your chosen period's price and renews automatically.
  • The one-time purchase has no trial: you pay once, there is no subscription and it never renews. Plus stays active as long as the BluConnect service is offered (Terms of Use).

Plus covers the whole home

Plus is tied to the BluConnect account of the person who bought it. Every member of the homes you are the admin of can use Plus features; members don't need to buy it themselves. When you sign in with the same account on another phone, Plus is active there too.

Restore, manage and cancel

You can also manage the subscription outside the app: on iPhone, Settings › your name › Subscriptions; on Android, Google Play › profile › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions. When you cancel, Plus stays on until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription.

  1. To restore your purchase, tap Restore purchases on Account › BluConnect Plus.
  2. While Plus is active, tap Manage subscription on the same screen; the store's subscription page opens.
  3. There you can cancel or switch between monthly and yearly.

When Plus ends

  • Your account, home, devices and routines are not deleted.
  • The first 2 devices added to the home stay usable on every phone and for every member; trying to control the others opens the Plus screen.
  • Program tracking continues on the first appliance added.
  • Automations stay saved but no longer run on their own; scenes keep working.
  • Other Plus features lock again; when you get Plus again, everything picks up where it left off.

FAQ

Do I need to buy Plus for everyone in my family?
No. When the home's admin has Plus, every member of the home can use Plus features.

I changed phones. Will I lose Plus?
No. Plus is tied to your BluConnect account; just sign in with the same account on your new phone. If needed, tap Restore purchases on Account › BluConnect Plus.

Will I be charged if I cancel the trial?
If you cancel in the App Store or Google Play at least 24 hours before the trial ends, you are not charged.

Does deleting my account cancel my subscription?
No. The subscription lives in your store account; cancel it separately in the App Store or Google Play.
