Smart homes, when compared to the event houses in which most people grew up, seem like something unnatural, unique and highly intelligent. Using an ordinary smartphone in such a house, you can control absolutely everything - from a TV and a kettle to a video surveillance system and a robot vacuum cleaner. In order to open the door - just put your finger on the sensor. The room will always be maintained at a comfortable temperature for the owners, it will be adjusted depending on weather conditions.
It would seem that everything in such a house is so thought out that it is able to provide maximum security to everyone who is in it. However, all this will be only if the owners have access to the management of all systems. If hackers get access, the situation will change dramatically.
As a result, it turns out that the system is quite vulnerable, which means that it is necessary to take measures that will protect your home from intruders.
First of all, it is important to take care of a strong password, experts advise to split the connections and not allow third parties to use the equipment.
Of course, if hackers are really professionals, then there is little that can stop them. Companies producing smart home systems are making a lot of efforts aimed at educating home owners on how to take care of digital protection, but more often than not, home owners simply ignore this.
How to protect your home
First of all, users should not neglect the timely installation of updates, especially when they are reminded after vulnerabilities are closed. Download applications should only be in official stores, absolutely do not do this on third-party resources. It is best to give preference to domestic software developers.
If the house goes crazy
The “smart home” system is configured in such a way that everything that is in the house communicates with each other. When you wake up and get out of your bed, a signal is already being sent to the kitchen to turn on the kettle or coffee machine. However, it is important to note that the more complex the system, the higher the likelihood that a failure can occur. No one will know how the locks on the doors behave if suddenly the water runs out, or if the light goes out, then all the doors can be blocked, and, therefore, you will fall into a certain trap.
Another minus - the data from the systems of your home will be transmitted to the servers of the largest IT companies, so do not be surprised if they call you from the medical center and will offer to undergo an examination only because you started spending time in the toilet just a couple of minutes longer ordinary.
