Users and electricians profit from the significant advantages of remote access:

Easy set-up and secure remote installation and configuration make work considerably easier and save money when it comes to configuration, maintenance and care.

Remote maintenance from anywhere

It has never been so secure and uncomplicated to connect to the KNX system remotely. You can forget about expensive house calls from your system integrator. Desired changes and system maintenance can be carried out quickly and individually, anywhere in the world – even while on the go.

Important events on your smartphone

Would you like to know whether everything is OK at home? Let your house tell you. You'll receive messages on your smartphone, e.g. when your smoke detector is activated or when someone rings your doorbell. You can decide whether you would like to be informed by telephone call, text message or e-mail. You can also receive images from the camera and values from the KNX (e.g. room temperature).

Remote access to your visualization

You can also access your web-based visualisation remotely, giving you an overview of your building at all times.

VPN

The Remote Access acts as a VPN server with the integrated VPN feature. This allows you to work in the remote network without needing to make complicated router settings. Also, you can maintain not only KNX systems remotely, but any other system, too. All you need for this is an OpenVPN software. We recommend the open source software "OpenVPN GUI" for this purpose.

Go to OpenVPN

Security

Decide who may access your system with the simple push of a button using our access and user management. Thanks to data transfer encryption, there’s no chance of prying eyes.

Not accessible from outside?

Is the IP address of your connection not accessible from outside, e.g. a LTE or UMTS connection? No problem. Our solution works here, too. Unpack, connect and you’re ready to go.

This is how installation and communication works

The SMART CONNECT KNX Remote Access is simply connected to the home network. It then connects to the portal server (www.securedeviceaccess.net) automatically through your existing Internet connection. Communication between the Remote Access and the portal server is encrypted and secured with digital certificates.

With a connection to the home network, you can now access almost all of your network devices using the Internet. Depending on the network protocols supported by the respective device, access occurs directly through the SDA portal server or through the SDA client software available for windows platforms. As the SMART CONNECT KNX Remote Access version 6.1 and higher also works as a VPN server, you can now also easily perform many maintenance tasks remotely, which you could not realise with the Remote Access previously. You can use the KNX connection to connect the Remote Access with the KNX installation in your home. This enables you, or your electrical installer, to access your KNX devices from anywhere, e.g. with the ETS.

Don't worry, though. The portal server is located in Germany and is subject to the German Data Protection Law.
