What options are there for a stand alone Bosch dishwasher for homeassistant?

I don't have the smart home controller, can I integrate directly?

A smart home controller is typically needed when the device doesn't connect via Wi-Fi, such as Zigbee devices. However, even in this case, it's worth equipping the HomeAssistant host with a Zigbee receiver rather than purchasing separate devices.

Bosch washing machines, however, connect via Wi-Fi, so it's enough to set up the Home Connect integration for them.
