Siemens/Bosch Home Connect in Europe available

Not only in the US, but in Europe it's also possible to buy home appliances like dishwashers, ovens to connect to via a WLAN/WiFi connection.

Might be interesting for some people to see if they can be access by Homey

The topic is quite old, but i'd like if home connect supporting machines can be controlled by Homey. Our new kitchen (installed in december of this year) will be swarmed with home connect appliences. I noticed that there's even going to be a home connect API: https://developer.home-connect.com/?q=docs/api/general/endpoints_dataencoding
Some cool ideas can include letting Homey announce when the oven is pre-heated or when the dishwasher is ready.
Even more interesting will be if the homeconnect API will include power management. For instance reducing the power of an induction cookingplate at moments ovens, quooker and heatpumps are all fired up as well. Hope Athom or anyone else is interested in making Homeconnect work with homey since i'm not really a programming-wizzard myself. ;-)
But, yes it would be better to have an app within Homey's appstore directly to it.
Sent this e-mail to the HomeConnect people just now:
I figure I won't get a positive answer but figured I'd try. Is someone else trying to use HomeConnect (or use it) in a rewarding way? Is there any way to access some of these functions, either by way of extra software, service menus, or any other way?
Sadly as of now the only function is seeing from work when my wife gets her first cup of coffee in the morning (I get a notification)....
Have a nice saturday!

I would have loved to make a flow where the coffee maker gets turned on when I wake up, but turning it on isn't even possible. Even IF it were able to be turned on via homey I still couldn't have it make a cup of coffee because it rinses the system as soon as it turns on. (Yummy!)
So at the moment there is absolutely nothing that I can do with homey and home connect.
