  • Secured device access in a device automation system
    Patent number: 9674199
    Abstract: A secured device access method is implemented in a web-based device automation system whereby the configuration of an automation application for specific devices in a user's automation environment and the installation of the automation application define the security scope for the automation application. Once the automation application is configured and installed, the automation application is only allowed access to the authorized devices in the user's automation environment and the automation application may not access other devices in the user's environment that have not been authorized.

  • Secure external access to device automation system
    Patent number: 9246921
    Abstract: A secure external access method provides an external system with access to a device automation system implementing automatic control of one or more devices in an automation environment. The external access method enables external system access to devices only when the devices have been authorized for external access and the external system has the proper authentication credential. External access endpoints are dynamically defined by the web service automation applications and are unique to each installed instance of the web service automation application.
