The heart of the smart lighting system is the software, which turns classic hardware into smart devices and connects the components of the system to create a pleasant lighting experience. The smik lighting control system, which is essential for this, was designed and developed by Paulmann together with its partners in Europe. When developing the application level on the Gateway, the Mobile Apps, the cloud area and the voice control, the focus was particularly on high user-friendliness combined with high system security and technological future-proofing. We have used and optimised tried-and-tested market solutions as the foundation for the smart lighting control system – for example, tailor-made Linux and Microsoft Azure solutions have found their way into the smik lighting system.
Reporting security vulnerabilities
- The use of Microsoft Azure Services means state-of-the-art security mechanisms for the relevant system areas.
- Data such as your user account and necessary Paulmann Cloud services are hosted in Germany.
- The communication channels within the system and critical system data are encrypted. Personal authentication methods are used in specific cases and additional security keys are generated automatically.
- Maintenance access to the system administration, including any data, is only possible for a minimum number of necessary administrators.
- The smik lighting system is regularly checked for possible security gaps, including by external experts.
