Open in Confluence

Windows Application

The bOS Client application is also available for Windows.

The Windows version can be downloaded free of charge from the official ComfortClick website. After downloading and installing the application, users can connect to their ComfortClick server and access the building visualization directly from a Windows PC, laptop, or touchscreen device.

bOS Client for Windows is useful for users who want to control and monitor their building from a desktop computer, reception desk, control room, office workstation, or wall-mounted Windows panel.

After opening the application, users can add their server connection and access the same type of visualization used on other platforms. This allows them to control lights, shading, HVAC, alarms, cameras, scenes, schedules, energy data, and other connected systems from the Windows device.

Server List

When the Client application is opened, the first screen shows the server list. This list contains all ComfortClick servers that the user can connect to.

If you have many devices added to your application, you can use the “search icon” at the top right, type in the name of the server and the application will filter and display only the desired server.


Adding New Server

To add a new server to the list, press the settings button “three dots” on the top right and select Add button.

To add a new server to the list:

  1. Open the bOS Client app.

  2. Tap the settings button with the three dots in the top-right corner.

  3. Select Add.

  4. Choose the preferred connection method.

Connection Options

There are two main options for adding a server:

  • Access ID
    Used for connecting through ComfortClick Remote Access. For more information about Access ID and remote connection methods, check the section about connection options. If the Android device is in the same network as the server it will connect to the local IP address, but if the device is on a different network, it will connect to the external IP address (or use ComfortClick’s Remote access service). Before each connection, ComfortClick will check the server’s settings (IP addresses) and connect to the correct IP each time.

  • Manual Configuration / Direct IP
    Used when connecting directly to the server by entering the required network details, such as the server IP address and connection settings.

After the server is added, it will appear in the server list and can be selected whenever the user wants to connect to that project.


Import Profile

The Import option allows users to automatically add all ComfortClick servers registered to their account.

To import servers:

  1. Open the bOS Client app.

  2. On the server list screen, press Import.

  3. Enter your ComfortClick account login information.

  4. Confirm the import.

After the import is completed, all servers connected to that ComfortClick account will be added to the server list automatically.

This is useful when users manage multiple projects, because they do not need to add each server manually. Once imported, the servers can be selected from the list and used for connection like any manually added server.

Refresh button will refresh the current server list.

  • The Client and Config apps are synced together on the same machine, so if there are some changes on either of the applicatios, pressing refresh will sync them together.

Configurator button will open bOS Configurator

  • Configurator will automatically be connected to the selected server from Client application.


Settings

The System tab enables you to change bOS Client system settings.

  • Start on system start checking this field starts bOS Client automatically when the
    computer is powered on.

  • Auto login will automatically login and open visualization when the client is opened.

  • Fullscreen mode will always open bOS Client on full screen of your device.

  • Device name will be shown under Users in the Configurator, so we can tell which device is which.

  • Show Scroll buttons will display scrollable panels.

  • Enable Public mode will lock visualization behind a password. If we want to exit and close the application, password must be set, otherwise the client will stay open and connected.
