Installation

Install Haptique OS on the computer that will act as your local home controller. This machine should stay online when rooms, scenes, RS90 remotes, mobile apps, or music control need to work.

macOS

1. Download the macOS installer from the official HOS downloads page.
2. Open the downloaded file.
3. Move Haptique OS to Applications if prompted.
4. Open Haptique OS.
5. Allow required local permissions.
6. Confirm the Mac menu bar companion appears.
7. Open the dashboard in the browser.

Use Apple Silicon for current M-series Macs. Use the Intel DMG only on Intel-based Macs.

Windows

1. Download the Windows build for the host machine.
2. Run the setup installer, or use the portable build where appropriate.
3. Allow local firewall prompts for private networks when Windows asks.
4. Open Haptique OS.
5. Open the dashboard in the browser.
6. Continue to license activation.

Linux and dedicated hardware

Use the installer or deployment package provided for your release. The Linux AppImage is the fastest path for a supported x64 host. Managed deployments may use a package or container build when that matches the installation plan.

After launching Haptique OS, open the local dashboard from a browser on the host or another device that can reach the server.

Recommended setup

• Keep the Haptique OS host on a stable network connection.
• Reserve its IP address in your router.
• Make sure it can reach devices you want to control.
• Prevent the host from sleeping during normal control hours.
• Keep the installer for the installed version until the first project is verified.

First verification

Before adding every room, confirm:

1. Haptique OS opens after a normal app launch or host restart.
2. The browser dashboard loads.
3. License status is active or ready for activation.
4. The host has the expected reserved IP address.
5. A phone or tablet on the same network can reach the controller.
