HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM INCLUDING SECURITY CONTROLLER FOR TERMINATING COMMUNICATION WITH ABNORMALLY OPERATING ADDRESSABLE DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A home automation (HA) system may include addressable HA devices each having a respective HA device signature associated therewith, and an HA security controller. The HA security controller may be configured to communicate with the addressable HA devices via respective ones of a plurality of communications ports, with a given communications port not currently being used. When a given one of the plurality of addressable HA devices communicates via the given communications port not currently being used, the HA security controller may be configured to determine whether the given addressable HA device is operating abnormally based upon the respective HA device signature, communicate to the cloud for verification of whether the given addressable HA device is operating abnormally, and terminate communications with the given addressable HA device and generate a notification when the given addressable HA device is verified to be operating abnormally.

1. A home automation (HA) system comprising:
a plurality of addressable HA devices each having a respective HA device signature associated therewith; an HA security controller and associated memory configured to
communicate with said plurality of addressable HA devices via respective ones of a plurality of communications ports, with a given communications port from among the plurality thereof not currently being used, andwhen a given one of the plurality of addressable HA devices communicates via the given communications port not currently being used,
determine whether the given addressable HA device is operating abnormally based upon the respective HA device signature,communicate to the cloud for verification of whether the given addressable HA device is operating abnormally, andterminate communications with the given addressable HA device and generate a notification when the given addressable HA device is verified to be operating abnormally.
