Those who opt for a closed system are therefore limited on the one hand in the selection of devices. On the other hand, the smart home standards used are optimally coordinated. They communicate and work perfectly with each other because they come from the same manufacturer.

Open versus closed systems – The comparison

Closed systems are similar in principle to Apple products: If you use your phone, laptop and tablet from this provider, you can easily exchange data between the devices and are used to uniform operation. Open systems are comparable to Google's Android system, which is used by many different smartphone manufacturers. Although the selection of devices and providers is larger, the research in the selection of a product is more time-consuming and in case of problems there are different contact persons. Therefore, when deciding between a closed or open system, it is important to carefully consider which type of system best suits the requirements.
