Hi,


It seems, after searchign in manuals and forums, there is no ability to allow inputing holidays or vacation days through the BoS app, the only way to input holidays and vacations is through the BOS Configurator. 


Is this right_ If so this is weird, not allowing to input a BOS client update its vacations or bank holidays through the front end - or even through an API accessing the typical government site that gives you details of bank holidays.


Has anyone done the above? It feels quite basic

Hello!

It would be great if in the new upgrade we could get the functionality to treat holidays and vacations as a variable and monitor them in real time, which is currently not possible.

Best regards.

I would like to bring this topic back up.

I currently have a client who needs exactly this functionality: the ability to enter holidays / vacation periods directly from the front end, without having to modify schedules manually in the configuration.

This topic was created about 5 years ago. Could you please clarify what has been done since then? From what I can see, this functionality is still not available.

I understand that development priorities differ, but 5 years for such a relatively small, yet very practical feature feels excessive. This is the kind of function that end users and integrators would expect to be available in a professional building automation system.

Is this feature planned, rejected, or still waiting for development?

Is there any plan to update this please? It is a total pain to adjust bank holidays, work days...ect with the Configurator rather than the app itself. It´s such a basic function that is required for users

Hello Maximilian,

although the idea was added into the pipeline, it wasn't the highest priority, but I'll try and push it more so the release comes faster.

Best regards.

Hi,

is ther any new informations about an API or at least an front-end funktion to input holidays and Vacation?
Also the possibility to link this to an ical calendar would be a nice feature.

Best regards Max

Glad to see that coming in the pipeline, surprised no one asked, maybe someone found a work around, just weird how clients input such. I must think that is probably because the integrators do not programme functions based on whether you are on holidays or vacation or work, which seems wrong to me. Like it is so basic that for example someone can build a function that does different things subject to what type of day it is, for which the client needs to be able to allow you to input bank holidays through the app. For example, on a bank holiday, which changes every year on each country, you might want to stop shades automation when the sun rises, because it is more than likely you are sleeping.

Hello,


we haven't received requests for this, but vacation/holiday selection in the client app is a good function to add.

We'll add it to our develop plan and we'll try to release it with the future updates.
