What Does Smart Board Appear As in Control Panel?

Introduction

If you're trying to integrate a Smart Board (interactive whiteboard) into your home automation setup, knowing how it appears in your computer’s Control Panel can help in configuring drivers and software.

Device Manager Recognition

Typically, Smart Boards appear as:

  • HID-compliant device

  • USB Input Device

  • Under “Human Interface Devices” or “Monitors” in Device Manager

This becomes relevant in hybrid smart office-home environments where touchscreens must interact with a smart home control panel running Windows.

Smart Panel Integration

If you're building a smart control interface (e.g., for a conference room or classroom), Portworld’s panel PCs or embedded touchscreens can:

  • Emulate Smart Board functions using capacitive multitouch

  • Run collaboration software

  • Interface with external AV or USB touch input devices
