Library

We have an extensive library of various bOS configuration examples. Select your heating pump, AC, TV or almost any other device and import it to your smart building configuration. We also encourage all system integrators and DIYs to add their own examples to ComfortClick library.

Telegram API enables bOS server to send messages and transfer string or numerical values of variables to Telegram users who subscribed on a chat-bot created. A control of devices and setpoint adjustment is also possible.

To access API functionality a few steps should be made (refer to Telegram API) :

• Create your bot via conversation with botFather (botFather guides you to create your bot)

• Acquire API token (once bot is created, API token is generated)

• Activate created bot (to activate your newly created bot, in the chat search option, type in the name of your current bot and send the bot "/start" message. This will activate the bot.

• Acquire Chat ID (to get the chat ID, you can type in the chat search button get my ID and activate another bot that will show you your current chat id.)

getUpdate command will also generate chat ID. Simply replace " with your token number and the commands should work and all basic information will be available.

To receive messages from users one of two methods may be used: getUptades or Webhooks. getUpdates method utilized in this example. For multiple users messaging group-chat ID should be used instead of single chat ID. Bot should be an administrator of this group.

sendMessage method serves to send messages to chat. Any trigger to activate command that fits project requirements can be used (temperatures, consumption, movement, alarm..).

Sender and Receiver devices let parse data from incoming messages thus enabling device control.

To avoid typing frequently used tasks a set of commands can be created. A user then can choose a command from a list making server to perform required action (sensor polling in example).
