Choose a home with smart devices
Foreword
Smart devices may regarded as gadget, costly and
complicated. Our devices are mostly hidden with the
exception of few control panels (heating system,
ventilation system, power meters, hot bath
control....). They are integrated with each other and
with the home parameters to work smoothly in
cooperation. We have chosen high quality devices.
Several smart-phone apps are available for remote
control. However the Internet connection is protected
by our VPN and appropriate firewall. On one hand we
protect your privacy. On the other hand you may choose
to allow or not data reporting to the suppliers. Note
that it was reported that some device providing voice
control were used to tape you conversations. As there
is ransomware in business, in the coming years there
may be similar threats for your smart home (your house
will last long enough to see those threats). You
always can add your own devices outside of our
choices, however you will be on your own for
integration problems and supervision. Indeed, the
local control of your house will allow for [ remote
control ].
