Network and Privacy

Warning

The HTP-1 is designed to run inside your home network, behind a firewall or router. Do not expose it directly to the internet.

The HTP-1 does not hold an open connection to any outside service. It reaches the internet only when it checks for or downloads a software update, and when you submit feedback from the web interface. Everything else — the web interface, the mobile remote, Dirac Live calibration, and control from a home automation system — happens on your own network.
