Warning for smart home users: Domovea V1 will lose access from December!
Bremerhaven informs about the end of support for the smart home solution domovea V1 and the switch to domovea plus by the end of 2026.
Warning for smart home users: Domovea V1 will lose access from December!
A major rethink is imminent for users of the first generation of the domovea smart home system from Hager. Starting December 15, 2025, remote access to the older TJA450 and TJA451 models will no longer be possible. This means that those who rely on remote monitoring of their smart home devices should act urgently. City of Bremerhaven reports, that the associated apps will even disappear from the app stores, making upgrading to the latest version essential.
Fortunately, domovea plus has been a viable alternative since April 2025. This new generation not only offers improved access, but also numerous expansions in connectivity that significantly enrich the user experience. Users of the first version have until December 31, 2026 at the latest to take advantage of Hager's upgrade campaign. You can get the new domovea plus server at a discounted price, although installation must be carried out by a qualified electrical tradesman.
Important information about the upgrade
For everyone who is currently using the old technology, upgrading should be a priority. After the deadline, remote access to the smart home functions will become obsolete and the ability to use the app will only be available in the local network. New devices can no longer install the old app, which makes a switch urgently necessary. Siblik highlights that the deployment of the new system provides the same service levels as previous models, along with additional features and improvements.
The data such as device names, device groups and measured values can also be easily migrated to the new system. This means that the usual area of application is retained, while the new features offer additional ease of use. Hager also actively supports its users in finding an electrician to carry out the changeover.
Security in the smart home
The security aspects of smart home systems should not be neglected. The BSI highlights that many of the connected devices are exposed to the same security risks as our computers. Therefore, regular software updates and enabling automatic updates are of utmost importance to keep potential attackers away.
In addition, users should also pay attention to the security of their networks. It's a good idea to change default passwords immediately and make sure the router has a built-in firewall. In addition, it is advisable to operate IoT devices on a separate network to effectively protect sensitive data.
If you want to get started in the world of the smart home, you should get detailed information and take action now. Whether it's an upgrade to domovea plus or improving your own network security - the right decision not only brings comfort but also security to your own four walls.
