Gira S1

Secure remote access to the Smart Home

Switching off the lights, checking camera footage, turning on the heating, closing the blinds – all while on the go and safe in the knowledge that no unauthorised person has access to communication: the Gira S1 enables users to connect to their KNX Smart Home easily and with total security while on the go – as communication is encrypted. Simply launch the Gira Smart Home App or the Gira HomeServer App, and the Gira S1 will take care of the rest in conjunction with the Gira device portal. The laborious task of activating a VPN or special settings in the router is no longer necessary.

Secure remote access ensured by encryption and German data protection standards

The remote access icon in the status bar of the app shows the user that there is secure remote access. The server for the Gira device portal is located in Germany and is subject to German data law. This ensures that German data protection standards are maintained.

The Gira S1 has also been awarded the “Smart Home - Information Security Tested” certificate by the VDE Institute.

Important events are sent directly to the smartphone

The smoke detector triggers, someone has rung the door bell and you are elsewhere at that moment: it’s good to know that the Smart Home will inform you of important events. The Gira�S1 enables �e-mails including an attachment such as camera images to be sent free of charge. The sending of messages via SMS and voice message is also supported (subject to charge).

The perfect combination

The Gira S1 can be ideally combined with the Gira X1, the Gira HomeServer and the Gira door communication system. The app-based remote maintenance and remote control functions are optimally integrated in these products. The Gira S1 also enables secure remote access to all web-based visualisations.

Remote maintenance with access control

The Gira S1 enables simple remote servicing of the Smart Home. The user defines who has �access when to his smart�home. Specific authorisations can be granted via the app or using pushbutton sensors.

How the Gira S1 works

The Gira S1 is connected to the home network via Ethernet. If there is an internet connection, the Gira S1 automatically connects to the Gira device portal. Communication between the Gira S1 and the device portal is encrypted and secured with digital certificates. Your smartphone/the Gira Project Assistant or the Gira HomeServer Expert software (in conjunction with the Gira S1 Windows client) also connects automatically to the Gira portal. Communication is also encrypted here. The Gira portal now automatically establishes a connection between the smartphone app and the Gira S1, which in turn is connected to the Gira X1 or the Gira HomeServer - the end user is unaware of all this. Regardless of whether the Smart Home has a IPv6 Dual-Stack Lite (e.g. from Unitymedia), LTE or UMTS Internet connection: The Gira S1 makes it easy to plan and set up remote access.

The Gira S1 must be registered in the Gira device portal before it can be used as a secure remote access module.
