How secure is wireless building automation?
As some wireless systems’ communication takes place over the air, often unencrypted, this bears the risk that unauthorized persons may “overhear” the communication and, in the worst case, repeat commands. As a non-network-based solution, Loxone provides secure encryption that meets the highest standards within any wireless building automation project. In fact, by creating a Cloud-free system, we firmly believe: “Your building, your data“, which means data stays within the walls of your home our building and never gets analyzed externally.
On a wireless hybrid approach, data is still local and ideally we fully manage your network and hence network security. Loxone smart homes are not cloud based, we offer a professionally installed network system that combats network threats as we essentially create a commercial grade setup for your property. We also offer to setup further security such as firewalls/VLAN's & ultra secure passwords.
