What is Loxone Smart Home?

/in /by

Loxone Smart Home is an advanced automation solution designed to make living and working spaces more comfortable, energy-efficient, and secure. Originating from Austria, Loxone’s system revolves around its Miniserver — the brain that controls lighting, heating, cooling, shading, audio, security, and more.

Unlike many smart home platforms that rely heavily on cloud services, Loxone is built for local automation, meaning your home continues to function even without an internet connection. Its philosophy is “automation first” — minimizing the need for manual control by intelligently managing devices based on time, occupancy, and environmental conditions.

Key Features of Loxone Smart Home

  • Centralized Control: One Miniserver can manage an entire home or building.
  • Multi-Protocol Support: Works with KNX, Modbus, RS485, HTTP API, and more.
  • Scalable Design: Suitable for single rooms, large villas, hotels, or commercial buildings.
  • Flexible Interfaces: Control via smartphone app, web browser, or wall-mounted panels.
  • Energy Efficiency: Automated heating, cooling, and lighting adjustments reduce energy costs.
