Techniques are described herein for establishing two wireless networks at a premises, a dedicated network configured to be used by devices of an automation and security system of the premises and a user network configured to be used by devices associated with users. The dedicated network may be more rigorously secured than the user network. The dedicated network may be secured in such a way that computing devices associated with users are not permitted to access the dedicated network. In this manner, the dedicated network may be prevented from becoming compromised. In some examples, a contention management entity may mediate network traffic scheduling between the dedicated network and the user network. The dedicated network may be configured to give deference to traffic being communicated across the user network to maintain a quality of service for end users of the user network.
