# OpenBOS

## OpenBOS

The OpenBOS app in BuildingPro Suites enables the seamless integration and synchronization of data from ABB Ability™ Building Edge systems. Thanks to this integration, you can automatically import assets, data points, and alarms from your building automation into BuildingPro Suites.

The main advantage is continuous asset creation (CAC). After the initial configuration, assets and asset types are automatically created and organized in BuildingPro Suites, adopting the structure from OpenBOS. This significantly reduces manual effort and ensures a constantly up-to-date data basis.

## How to Connect OpenBOS to BuildingPro Suites

The connection is made in three simple steps:

1. Required steps in OpenBOS Building Edge: Before you configure the app in BuildingPro Suites, some preparations must be made in OpenBOS Building Edge. This includes the local and cloud configuration as well as activating the API subscription for your data points.
2. App installation: Install the OpenBOS app via the BuildingPro Suites App Store.
3. App configuration in BuildingPro Suites: After installation, you configure the app in BuildingPro Suites. To do this, you enter the Gateway ID, Client ID, and Client Secret to establish the connection.

After successful configuration, the automatic synchronization begins. The app monitors the status and ensures that your assets and alarms are always up to date.
