Description
The Häfele Connect Mesh App opens up new possibilities for setting up your smart home, linking, grouping and controlling Häfele Connect devices.
The devices communicate with each other within the established Bluetooth mesh network and offer new possibilities of control. A smartphone or tablet is no longer necessary in daily operation. The fact that all devices now communicate with each other also results in a higher range. A BLE mesh network is also highly encrypted and therefore offers the highest level of data security.
Features of the app in detail:
- Create and manage Bluetooth mesh networks
- Add new devices to the network ("Provisioning")
- Organize your devices in rooms and groups
- Link lamps, switches and many other devices together
- Create scenes for all devices in a group
- Set matching icons or photos for your groups and scenes
- Export your mesh network configuration to family members
- Add firmware updates and new functionality to your devices

Ratings and Reviews
Features Don’t Work
Update: Schedules do work now, but limited. Devices (groups) cannot be used in multiple schedules. For instance, I want lights to turn on for a couple of hours in the evening, then again early in the morning. If I set up two schedules to do this, neither works. I can only include the group in one schedule. It would also be nice to be able to include individual devices in a schedule. Currently, you need to create a group with a single device if you only want that device. Another recommendation for schedules is to have the default to every day instead of no days. Last comment is a repeat from my original review - which “hubs” or “gateways” will work?
Original review: V2 is much better than V1. However, the newly added schedule feature doesn’t appear to work properly. You can set up schedules, but nothing happens at the scheduled times. My lights don’t turn on. Scenes don’t work properly either. Once you create a scene, you can’t turn it off or deactivate it. I had to turn the lights off manually and delete the scene I created. Integration with Alexa isn’t described well. It appears that you will need to purchase a connect mesh “hub” or “gateway” that will connect to the bluetooth connect mesh network, but no information is provided to describe which devices are compatible.
Developer Response ,
Dear Hackettcs, thank you very much for your feedback! The scheduling issue you raised has been fixed in version 2.04, which is already available for download. Scenes work as they should. Bluetooth mesh scenes can be understood as stored light values that can be activated. As all the lights in a scene can be in other groups/scenes, we never know the previous state. So it's not possible to switch them "off". As you described, the Häfele gateway is required to connect to Amazon Alexa. I have noted that more information is needed here. - Kind regards, Julian from your Connect Mesh team
