Crypto. I'm surprised that you didn't think of that already.
Unless you're just baiting me for the obvious. ;^)
Each house could easily generate its own crypto "signature"

even if someone walked into your space (or the other side of a nearby
wall) they wouldn't be able to hack into your systems or
communications.
