Internet Gateway

 

Internet Gateway

 is the central part of the home system. It will be connected (through a router) directly to 

Internet. The 

Internet Gateway

 controls Z-Wave devices, has a secure connection to the backoffice (e.g. 

benext) and runs with unique rules for every lifestyle which the end consumer had configured. Also the 
complete firmware of the  
Z-Wave module and microprocessor can be upgraded, which makes it a future proof system.  

Backoffice 

Internet Gateway

 connects automatically to the backoffice and creates a bi-directional tunnel between the 

backoffice and 

Internet Gateway

. This tunnel is secure with encryption and a frequently changing unique 

session key for every 

Internet Gateway

Internet Gateway

 controls all Z-Wave nodes and has a caching 

mechanism which is necessary to also control battery operated devices which are not accessible directly. 

Configurations 

The rules in 

Internet Gateway

 are configured through the benext User Interface, where the relations between 

every Z-Wave nodes are configured.
