How does Viki ensure home security?

Usually when home security is secured through artificial intelligence (AI) assisted automation, questions start to arise regarding its access by hackers.
In the case of Viki we have several levels of protection:
✅ Protection provided by the home network.
– In order to command an equipment from home, you must, in the first step, enter the home network. A strong password and a specific user will require a lot of work from the hackers to access the home network
✅ Protection provided by the home automation system.
– To be able to gain access, you must know the user and password for the home automation system. Similar to home network, a strong username and password will be hard to crack.
✅ The house only accepts devices installed by us, when we install Viki.
When you install your Viki, you set the devices that will control the house, through their unique IDs. If you choose to control the house with your phone, the house will recognize its ID and only accept commands from that ID.
Basically, there are 3 levels of security, comparable to the security of banking systems.
And as an added bonus, we can set VIKI for vacation mode (what Viki will do when we’re away on vacation) to raise the blinds and turn on the lights, seems that the owners are at home.
You can rely on Viki for your home security!

VIKI and the urban garden. How to manage a green balcony in the city

We continue the series “VIKI in real life” and this time we present a garden in Cluj-Napoca, located on the terrace of an apartment, managed entirely by the automatic irrigation system implemented in VIKI.

We wrote a lot about what VIKI can do, about the ways it can make our lives easier, about how it protects our house, about how it ensures the desired comfort and much more. But it is important to actually see what a house equipped with the VIKI automation system looks like in everyday life, so we take another look at our customers’ homes.

Scenarios ready to make your life easier in the VIKI house

Mornings can be difficult for everyone, for morning persons and the grumpy ones equally. And when we talk about families who also have children to prepare for school or kindergarten, things get even more complicated.

What if you would have someone to help on these chaotic mornings? To have someone to gently wake the little ones up, so they can get out of bed happily and prepare for a new day. To have someone to prepare your coffee and turn on your favourite music. Or turn on your TV on your favourite news channel while you get ready for work.

Everything would be easier with such help. But the days when families had servants in the house are over, aren’t they? Of course, times have changed, and so have the routine of families and their dynamics. The good news is that we can now rely on the virtual butler to make our lives easier – in the morning and at any other time of the day.

VIKI befriends KNX

viki knx

VIKI the smart home takes a step towards interfacing with the KNX solution. In December we have researched KNX technology and tested the possibility of integrating the VIKI intelligence layer with the connection offered by the KNX solution.

KNX is a system that retains its value

KNX is the only system that complies with the requirements of the European (EN50090) and International (ISO / IEC 14543) standards for Home Automation. This compliance certifies the value of KNX technology and it is the quality proof for homeowners.

KNX is an open system

KNX provides the freedom to choose the products that are to be integrated in your home: over 200 manufacturers offer you a variety of KNX products, certified and compatible, according to the latest standards in the technical field, having the complete freedom to choose. So, with KNX you build today for tomorrow.

KNX technology is a worldwide standard for all home automation applications, from lighting and window blinds control, to various security systems, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, alarm monitoring, sanitation control, energy management, measuring, and also devices for home, audio and many more.

KNX technology can be used not only in new buildings, but also in existing ones and has been on the market for over 23 years, including predecessors, EIB, EHS and BatiBUS.
The systems designed according to the KNX standard can be applied from the level of an apartment to huge installations such as the new terminals of airports in the world, like Beijing, built for the 2008 Olympics, or terminal 5 at London’s Heathrow airport.

This leads to a great flexibility and the possibility to model many intelligent functions even for residential, multi or single-family buildings.
The VIKI team will return in the next period with details about the results of the tests performed in this research.
