The webapp is an additional feature to the smarthome ecosystem that provides additional benefits for the end user. These benefits include universal access to the smarthome from any location at any time, as well as setting up different users within the home and allowing those users to have particular access to the home. This allows for a universal experience while still having full control in the home owners hands. With the webapp comes a mobile experience as well. The mobile app is not as feature rich as the webapp but it does provide instant house notifications with smarthome in case of an emergency and the permission system works with the mobile app as well. Both the webapp and mobile app have an amazing security system that is sure to leave your home secure and your data private. The basic security implements include RSA encryption through HTTPS as well as RSA and cyclic key generation for home communication. The servers used for the webapp and mobile app are all scaled to ensure you get the fastest communication to your smarthome where-ever in the world you are.
