Press release
"Excellent Protection" rating for devolo Home Control. AV-TEST awards best grade once again for effective security concept.

Security for the smart home at all levels
devolo Home Control ensures security for your home with smart components such as its Siren and Motion Sensor. Furthermore, system development has put a stronger focus on data security. The Z-Wave wireless standard forms a secure foundation because the devolo Home Control Central Unit only communicates with components that have been linked to the system using a pairing process. In addition, all communication from the devolo Home Control Central Unit to the mydevolo cloud uses a TLS encryption. As another advantage, devolo Home Control gives you the ability to operate the entire system offline in case a cloud connection is unwanted or your Internet connection fails.
These and other security functions underscore the benefits of more than twelve years of experience in network technology and encryption methods at the Aachen-based manufacturer. This expertise has now earned devolo Home Control the rating of "Excellent Protection" from leading test lab AV-TEST for the second time in a row.
