What Loxone is
Loxone’s Miniserver connects building components such as lighting, heating, multiroom audio, and security for coordinated automation. Its software provides tools to plan, control, and operate a building as one system, while the free LOXONE App brings functions and information together for control from supported devices. Loxone lists Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, along with local control, Matter support, and energy monitoring. Supported interfaces and standards include KNX, DALI, Modbus RTU/TCP, EnOcean, RS485/RS232, and DMX; the software Library has more than 700 templates for third-party systems. Core building functions can run without an internet connection, though email, online weather data, and push notifications are unavailable offline. Loxone says data is stored and processed on the Miniserver. The Config and App software is free to use with no license required. Registering a Miniserver includes a three-month Exosphere trial.
