CRA Lockout

[TeeJay]

Oh really? I've honestly never heard of this. I am curious about this now. Do you happen to have a picture or link about how these external boxes do or look like? I can't see any reason for a home builder putting networking gear outside the home. There has to be a logical explanation for putting networking gear outside the home. That gear may have a different purpose that what you might think.

It is external as the conduit normally runs outside into basement first

I know they had SmartTowns up in Markham as an example

The link doesn't say if there is an external box and how everything connects to it. I wouldn't expect them to anyway. If there is a box outside the home with networking gear then it would be a huge oversight and security nightmare. I would hope that the devices in the home (door lock, thermostat, electrical switches) are not made by the same company because that's another security problem. If one of those devices is breached then all of them are.

I don't get the appeal of all this home technology because why fiddle with the lights, temperature, etc while on vacation?
