Abstract: A system and method for securing communications between Internet of Things (IoT) devices and user devices. The method includes establishing a connection to an IoT device over a first secured communication channel, wherein the IoT device is communicatively connected to a wireless network using at least login credentials received from a user device over a second communication channel, wherein the user device is communicatively connected to the wireless network; receiving, from the IoT device, a unique identifier of the user device; and associating the user device with the IoT device, wherein only user devices that are associated with the IoT device can control the IoT device.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for coupling a smart home device to a mobile terminal, comprising the following features: the smart home device (10, 20, 30) is connected to a server (40) via a source NAT router (14, 24, 34); the mobile terminal (12, 22, 32) is connected to the server (40) via the same source NAT router (14, 24, 34); the server (40) compares a public network address of the smart home device (10, 20, 30) with a public network address of the mobile terminal (12, 22, 32); and where the public network addresses match, the server (40) forwards an identification feature of the smart home device (10, 20, 30) to the mobile terminal (12, 22, 32). The invention also provides a corresponding server, a corresponding computer program and a corresponding storage medium.

Abstract: The invention proposes a lighting means (1) comprising a light generator (2) and a socket (3) for electrically connecting to a standardised lamp socket, a presence sensor (4) and a communication module (5) also being provided in said lighting means. Data collected by the presence sensor (4) are forwarded via radio or power-line signals by means of the communication module (5).
