I'm just reaching out to anyone who uses aeotec devices and how the security is with them. I use the multisensor 6 and I'm aware they can be added in secure mode which I don't think I've ever been able to achieve nor find out whether they are securely included or not. I know you have to press the inclusion button very quickly twice but don't think I can physically press any faster that I have attempted.
I plugged in my z stick into the pc to turn the led off using the tool and noticed that enable security is unchecked and also the security key is set to 00 (all 16 digits).
So a few questions
Do i have to manually enable this before trying to securely include devices or is it activated automatically when i successfully include a device securely?
The sensors are advertised as 128 AES encrypted but does this mean when added in secure mode?
Are all devices generally set in S0 security unless stated otherwise and where (using homeseer or other methods) could I find which security my devices are currently using.
I'm aware S2 is now on the market but not available with the hardware I'm currently using (sensitive strips and aeotec multisensors). The reason I'm asking all this is the plan is to use these sensors to build an alarm system, not that anyone pays any attention to alarms going off but just as a deterrent. Its unlikely I'll be a victim of hacking but I like to take all the precautions I can and fully understand the vulnerabilities in the system I'm hoping to build.
