ConnectLife is the smart appliance app and cloud platform used for connected appliances from Hisense, Gorenje, ASKO and ATAG. It covers products such as washers, dryers, dishwashers, fridges, ovens and air conditioners, and everything is controlled through the ConnectLife app and account.
ConnectLife appliances connect over Wi-Fi to the ConnectLife cloud. There is no hub to buy, and every integration we found, official or community, signs in with a ConnectLife account and talks to that cloud rather than to the appliance on the local network.
That suits remote monitoring and control, such as starting a wash or checking a fridge door while away. It is weaker if you want appliances in automations that keep running without internet or the vendor's servers, and the range of supported appliances differs by integration, country and model.

The single app for monitoring and controlling compatible Hisense, Gorenje, ASKO and ATAG appliances, with status, remote control, notifications, oven recipes, guided settings and support. The listing says functions vary by appliance type and country, and that it works with Alexa. Release notes for version 2.11.0 add Matter devices and Works with Google Home devices from other brands. The App Store lists ConnectLife, LLC as developer and ConnectLife, d.o.o. in Velenje, Slovenia as provider. The listing gives iOS 16.4 in one place and 17.0 in another. The Android link uses the package name found in app-analytics sites, and we could not load the Google Play page to confirm it.

A Dutch tech article says supported appliances connect over Wi-Fi. A community library for the ConnectLife API shows requests going to Hisense's cloud servers. We found no ConnectLife page naming a Wi-Fi band.
The app listing says version 2.11.0 lets users add Matter devices and Works with Google Home devices from any brand, such as lights, plugs, locks and speakers. Hisense announced this in May 2025 as coming through Google's Home APIs. We found no statement that ConnectLife appliances themselves are Matter devices, or that the app is a Matter controller.
A Dutch article says ConnectLife can be linked to Google Home and that this should simply work, without confirming it by testing. Hisense's 2025 announcement describes importing Google Home and Matter devices into ConnectLife through Google's Home APIs, which is the other direction. We found no ConnectLife page documenting appliance control from Google Home.
The App Store listing says ConnectLife works with Amazon Alexa for hands-free voice control. We found no dedicated Alexa skill page, so the supported appliances and commands are unconfirmed.
We found no built-in Home Assistant integration. ConnectLife for Home Assistant is a custom integration by an individual developer, installed through HACS, covering air conditioners, heat pumps, dehumidifiers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, hobs and fridges. It is cloud-based and signs in with a ConnectLife account. A repository in a Connectlife-LLC GitHub organization offers a separate air conditioner, dehumidifier, heat pump and water heater integration. Its README calls itself an official core integration but also says it is not affiliated with Hisense, so its status is unclear.
Athom publishes an official ConnectLife app for Homey covering Hisense, Gorenje, ASKO, ATAG and Pelgrim washers, dryers, dishwashers and split air conditioners. It lists Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Homey Self-Hosted Server, needs a ConnectLife account, and works with Flows and Homey Energy dynamic prices. Homey Bridge is not mentioned on the page. A separate unofficial community app for Hisense air conditioners also exists, marked as not affiliated with Hisense.
We did not find an openHAB binding for ConnectLife in the sources we checked. We could not confirm one exists.
Searched, no source
Node-RED
Unconfirmed
We did not find a Node-RED node for ConnectLife in the sources we checked. The unofficial Python library shows that the cloud API can be scripted, but that is not a Node-RED node.
We found no official public developer API. An unofficial Python library, version 0.14.0 under GPLv3, wraps the ConnectLife cloud API for Home Assistant and uses sign-in through Hisense's OAuth service. Its page says the responses are undocumented, the client ID belongs to Hisense's Home Assistant client, and the software is provided as is.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
