ComfortClick Client

The bOS Client application allows users to access and control their ComfortClick bOS system from almost any device.

bOS Client is available on all major platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows, and web browser. This means users can connect to their building from a smartphone, tablet, computer, wall panel, or browser-based device, depending on the project setup and user requirements.

The application provides a simple and intuitive way to control all connected systems in a home, apartment, office, hotel, or commercial building.

General Use Cases

Users can use bOS Client to control and monitor different building systems, such as:

  • Lights

  • Shading

  • Blinds and shutters

  • HVAC

  • Heating and cooling

  • Alarm systems

  • Cameras

  • Door communication

  • Access control

  • Scenes

  • Schedules

  • Energy monitoring

  • Other connected devices and integrations

The user interface is fully customizable and can be adapted to each project. It can include rooms, floors, menus, buttons, sliders, icons, images, floor plans, graphs, camera streams, scenes, and other control elements.

This allows the integrator to create a clear and user-friendly visualization that matches the building layout and the needs of the client.

Android and iOS Access

The bOS Client Android application enables access to the bOS system from any device running Android OS. It can be installed on Android smartphones, tablets, wall panels, or dedicated control devices such as ComfortClick Blade.

The bOS Client iOS application enables access to the bOS system from Apple devices running iOS, such as iPhone and iPad.

Both applications provide the same main purpose: simple and convenient access to the building automation system. Users can open the app, select the server, and control their building directly from their mobile device.

Windows and Web Browser Access

bOS Client is also available for Windows, allowing users to control the building from a PC or touchscreen computer.

For even more flexibility, bOS can also be accessed through a web browser, depending on the server and connection configuration. This allows users to access the visualization without installing a dedicated app on every device.

This multi-platform support makes bOS Client suitable for both private users and professional projects, where different users may prefer different devices.

Server List and Multiple Projects

When opening the bOS Client app, users are presented with a server list.

This list contains the ComfortClick servers the user can connect to. Users who manage only one home can keep a single server in the list, while installers, system integrators, property managers, or maintenance teams can add multiple servers.

This is especially useful for users who manage several homes, apartments, offices, hotels, or commercial buildings.

Servers can be added manually or imported from the user’s ComfortClick account. When using the import option, all servers registered to the account can be added to the server list automatically.

Connection Options

Users can connect to their bOS system in different ways, depending on the project setup.

Common connection methods include:

  • Access ID for ComfortClick Remote Access

  • Manual configuration using direct IP connection

  • Local network connection

  • Remote connection through properly configured network access

Access ID is usually used for remote access, while direct IP configuration is commonly used for local network connections or custom network setups.

Building Control

After connecting to the server, users can control the building directly from the bOS Client interface.

For example, users can:

  • Turn lights ON or OFF

  • Dim lighting

  • Change RGB colors

  • Open, close, or stop blinds and shutters

  • Change room temperature setpoints

  • Switch between heating and cooling modes

  • Arm or disarm alarm systems

  • View camera streams

  • Open doors or gates

  • Run scenes

  • Enable or disable schedules

  • Monitor consumption and energy data

  • Receive alerts and system events

This gives users complete control over the building from one application.

Alerts, Events, and Logs

bOS Client can also display system alerts, events, and logs.

Alerts can notify users about important building states, such as alarms, technical issues, high consumption, device faults, or other project-specific events.

Events and logs allow users to review what happened in the system and monitor important actions or changes.

Depending on the configuration, users can also receive messages and notifications from the system, including alerts, push notifications, emails, SMS messages, or other message types.

User Interaction and Communication

bOS Client can also support message exchange between building users, depending on the project configuration.

This is useful in projects where multiple users interact with the same building system, such as homes with several family members, apartment buildings, offices, hotels, or other shared buildings.

Each user can have their own access, permissions, devices, and visualization options.

Dedicated Wall Panels and Public Use

bOS Client is also suitable for dedicated wall-mounted devices.

On Android devices, settings such as full screen mode and public mode can be used to create a clean and locked visualization experience.

This is especially useful for wall panels, reception areas, hotel rooms, meeting rooms, offices, and other locations where users should only access the bOS Client application and not the rest of the operating system.

On supported devices such as ComfortClick Blade, additional settings such as proximity sensor behavior can also be configured.

The full privacy policy can be accessed directly from the application by pressing the Privacy Policy button.
