+## UC-07: Secure offline communication for home automation
+
+A user sets up a home automation gateway is under normal circumstances using HTTPS to securely accept commands via a remote server.

@KillerX Thanks a lot for your comment. As you explained, most of devices can speak non-HTTP protocols such as Z-Wave, ZigBee, etc., so a home automation gateway, which translates HTTP and non-HTTP protocols into each other, is necessary for apps using HTTP(S) to control such kind of devices.

My intention of the question above is to clarify which would talk HTTPS in the home network. If I understand your proposal correctly, the app (web and/or native) seems to need to talk to the gateway directly in the home network when the gateway cannot communicate with the remote server due to interruption at gateway's internet connection. Is it right?
