Is there any encryption used between the sensors and the ST cloud servers? Don't want the super geek taking control of my system.

Securing the Internet of Things"Each device across the entire network has a globally unique ID at the hardware level that cannot be spoofed, and hardware level encryption with new keys regularly established between the SmartThings Hub and the SmartThings Cloud.The reality is that a burglar is more apt to break a window to gain access to a home than hack an encrypted lock.

Each 'thing' has its own id and communicates to smartthings hub, hub is wired to your router, so in essence you want to have tight security for router. Only bad thing with the system is if you lose internet connection or power to your home, system does you no good. I love system so far.. Just a lil troubling when adding aftermarket things, like cameras and door locks.. Don't know if I answered your question.. Check out the website smatthings and contact them. They have a chat set up and are very helpful

No idea... but probably not possible ... DECT technology offer 100% privacy (from Philips web site) so probably a encryption unique that cannot be duplicate.

I don't use any sensors, but I believe that these are compatible with rain sensors. Better actually, the software via the internet modem will take the rain report for your location and not run your sprinklers as such.

If you copy the Brother software to the Google Cloud, you should be able to do everything from the cloud. Whatever floats your cloud!

Paranoia or not, if security is a concern, use a wired setup. No wireless connection is 100% secure. I'm sure there's some esoteric weakness even in wired connections, but am not motivated enough to look for them. The probability of your keystrokes being sniffed on the 2.4gHz band is incredibly small, but non-zero. It's going to take a determined hacker to get them, and an even more determined one to make sense out of them. However, as I said, the probability of interception is not zero. Personally, I'd be more worried about social engineering than any technological attack in the first place, and any remote destination you are sending those keystrokes is far more likely to disclose your data to fictional or real enemies than the keystrokes themselves..

Sorry, there is no way provided to switch between sensors. It comes with one outdoor temp sensor and reads that just fine. The rest is indoor temp and humidity wherever you have the devise located. So far mine has worked just fine for over a year.

I haven't implemented any of these yet, but if they are actually DS18B20 sensors in the stainless steel housings then they all have a unique 64-bit serial code stored in an on-board rom which is used to identify and address each individual sensor. http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS18B20.pdf

Is anyone worried about security when using this with Z-Wave? If I can unlock it remotely, can't someone hack it and do the same?

I contacted my home security company to get a list of sensors that are compatible with my existing security system. This one was one of those in the list. I would suggest you to do the same.

Not too much info on the wink site but I would say no. 2gig has way more options. Shoot us an email if you would like to be set up with a system.. Sincerely, Smart Home Security

This NAS has a version of Linux running the device and I map right to the drive with the IP Address... there is no need for software, just drag and drop even I Linux.

I purchased mine to work with my current security system, which I do pay for. Interested in hearing if others are able to use it, remotely, free of fees.

Yes, and yes. The Transporter encrypts both locations, and also the travel in the cloud between.

The system is armed, not specific sensors. What you could do is remove specific sensors from the sensor & add it back later, but takes a bit of effort.

I have been unable to identify the type of encryption. We have installed both the standalone sensor for a genie garage door opener as well as the Internet Gateway for a Chamberlain garage door opener. Both work flawlessly with our android devices. I would assume that the security would depend on the level of security set at your router level, since they communicate via WiFi. Great product. We highly recommend this product.

My husband said to go to the Do It Yourself Security Forum on the web and they have a 2GIG Section. Ask your question there anbd they should be able to answer it. Good Luck!
