- Multimeter (for testing circuit continuity)
- Pen or Pencil (for preventing wires from falling into the wall)
Once you have everything you need, let’s get started!
Thermostat Installation
Step 1: Turn OFF power
Turn off all power to your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system by using the master equipment switch or circuit breaker box.
WARNING: Failure to turn off the power may result in electrical shock and/or damage to the equipment.
Confirm that your system is off
Try to adjust the temperature on your old thermostat. If you don’t hear the system turn on within 5 minutes, air does not come out from the vents or the old thermostat does not even power on, then you have successfully turned off the power to your system.
Step 2: Remove the old thermostat from the old wall plate
Step 3: Make sure your old thermostat
Does Not Contain Line Voltage Wiring
If you see any of these wire nuts, unfortunately the BCC50 will not work with your system. If you are unsure or would like to discuss your options, please contact a professional or our support line: 1-800-283-3787.
Step 4: Take a picture of the existing wiring
Make sure that you can clearly read the terminal labels and see which wires are connected to which terminal from your photo. You will need to reference this
photo later during the initial setup.
Note: You can also use the wire labels we have provided you to correctly label each wire based on the terminal where it is connected.
Step 5: Confirm you have a C-wire connected to your old thermostat wall plate
If you do not have a C-wire connected to your old thermostat, please contact a professional or our support line for further assistance to determine if the BCC50
Thermostat is compatible with your system.
Step 6: Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat and remove the wall plate using a screwdriver
Some thermostats will also require you to use a screwdriver to disconnect the wires. After the wires are disconnected and the wall plate removed, we recommend wrapping a pen or pencil around the wires to prevent them from falling back into the wall.
Step 7: Pull thermostat wires through the hole in the center of the BCC50 wall plate and mark the location of the mounting screws
It is recommended to use the BCC50 Wall Plate as a reference guide to mark the mounting holes and ensure that all holes and unpainted surfaces are covered.
Note: If the new Wall Plate does not cover up any holes or unpainted spaces left by your old thermostat, use this opportunity to patch any holes and paint.
Thermostat Installation
Step 8: Drill and insert wall anchors (if necessary)
Drill two 7/32” holes where you marked the location of the mounting screws and then insert the wall anchors provided into these mounting holes.
Check if the wall plate is level and insert screws
Make sure your new BCC50 wall plate is level and insert the included screws from the package and mount your new wall plate to the wall using a Phillips head screw driver.
LEVEL
Step 9: Insert each wire into the corresponding terminal and close each terminal using a flat head screw driver
Use the image you took with your smartphone of your old thermostat wiring or the wire labels as a reference for where to place each wire. Be sure that you insert each wire, one by one, and then. immediately close the terminal and confirm that the wire is secure inside the terminal before moving to the next wire. Repeat this process for each wire to be installed. If you are unsure of the terminal names on the BCC50 Wall Plate, refer to BCC50 Terminal Key.
BCC50 Terminal
BCC50 Terminal Key
Note: The color of your wires may not be the same as shown (1)Emergency Heat and Auxiliary Heat activated at W/E/AUX.
Step 10: After all wires are securely connected, gently push any excess wires back into the hole in the wall
Step 11: Attach the BCC50 thermostat to the BCC50 wall plate
Step 12: Turn ON the power to your HVAC by using the master equipment switch or circuit breaker box
The thermostat will power on and display a Bosch logo and loading bar.
Note: After loading completes, the thermostat will display the following screen:

Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions
Wi-Fi
Can the BCC50 be used without Wi-Fi?
We strongly encourage everyone to use the Wi-Fi capabilities of the thermostat, as it will improve the user experience. However, it is fully functional without the use of Wi-Fi after the Initial Setup has been completed with your smartphone.
Will the BCC50 support all Wi-Fi systems & routers?
This device only works with 2.4 GHz systems and is NOT compatible with 5.0 GHz systems or web pages that require additional web authentication.
Trouble Connecting to your Home’s Wi-Fi Network?
- Make sure that your thermostat is a maximum 20 ft or less from the router/modem without any obstructions (i.e. walls, floors, ceilings, etc.). If obstructions exist, try moving your thermostat and router/modem closer together.
- Before attempting to reconnect your thermostat to your home network, power cycle your router/modem and then your thermostat. If you have a separate router and modem, make sure that you power cycle the modem first and then the router.
- In the event that you still cannot connect to your home’s wi-fi network please contact our support team for further in-depth technical troubleshooting options.
NOTE: If you are able to connect to your home network, but the time does not update on the thermostat, you are not fully connected to the cloud server. Please follow the troubleshooting steps again or contact Bosch Technical Support.
Initial Setup
Trouble connecting to your BCC50 Wi-Fi hotspot during Initial Setup?
Go to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings and forget the BCC50 Wi-Fi hotspot. Power cycle the thermostat and attempt the initial setup again.
Trouble advancing to the Unit Configuration portion of the Initial Setup?
Some devices have longer wait times to transfer from the Wi-Fi hotspot connection to the Unit Configuration. If wait times exceed 60 seconds, repeat the Initial Setup process.
Bosch Connected Control App (Android and iOS)
What is the name of the smartphone app in the App Store and Google Play Store?
The name of the app is Bosch Connected Control. Bosch Control is a different Wi-Fi thermostat app used with Bosch Boilers.
How many accounts can be associated with the thermostat at once?
Only one account can be associated with a given thermostat. Family members must share their account information with each other if they would like to be able to control the thermostat from multiple devices.
Can this device be accessed via a web page?
Not at this time.
Thermostat
What happens if I don’t remember the password that locked my screen?
The password will always display on the main screen of your app in the top right hand corner under the green lock button. You can unlock your thermostat by typing this code into the thermostat itself or clicking the green lock button in the top right hand corner of the thermostat. NOTE: this is not the lock button for schedule hold.
What happens if I lose power to the device; will all my setting be lost?
All settings are kept in local memory, except for the schedule setpoints, which are stored in the cloud. Therefore, all settings will e saved even during a power outage.
