Intelligent devices that control things such as lighting, heating or the camera will increase housing security and comfort. But consumers can also save time and energy in their own home or in the living room with it. With its developed smart home test platform, the VDE Institute can evaluate, test and certify all smart home technologies currently used on the market. With this program, connected Smart Home products from different manufacturers are simultaneously tested for interoperability, information security, privacy and functional security. In addition to technical software tests, the products and systems can also be tested and certified for compliance with product-specific security and EMC requirements.
