What it is
Loxone provides building-automation software centered on the LOXONE Miniserver. The Miniserver connects lighting, heating, multiroom audio, security, and other building components, while the software coordinates planning, control, and operation in one system. A free LOXONE App brings building functions and information together for supported Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows devices. The system offers local control, Matter support, and energy monitoring, with interfaces for KNX, DALI, Modbus RTU/TCP, EnOcean, RS485/RS232, and DMX. Its Library includes more than 700 templates for third-party systems. Core functions can keep operating without internet access, although email, online weather data, and push notifications are unavailable offline. Loxone says data is stored and processed on the Miniserver, while transfers between Miniservers use TLS encryption. Config and App software is free; Exosphere Pro starts at $70.00 per year and Enterprise at $140.00 per year per Miniserver.
