Our verdict on Loxone
Loxone is a home and building automation system centered on a Miniserver, intended for people automating lighting, heating, cooling, shading and energy management. It suits buyers seeking centralized control across a property, including homes and commercial buildings. Users or installers configure automation logic in Loxone Config, then control the system through an app or web interface. Apps are available for iOS and Android, with web and Windows also listed as platforms.
Local processing and energy management are central to the product’s appeal. The Miniserver stores and processes system data locally, and core automation can continue without an internet connection; online services such as weather data, email and push notifications require connectivity. Energy-flow visualization and statistics help track usage, while load management can direct excess energy to prioritized devices. Compatible wireless devices can connect through Loxone Air. This makes Loxone a fit for buyers who want building-wide automation and energy controls in one system, rather than a narrow standalone lighting controller.
According to the vendor’s EUR shop, the Miniserver Go starts at €393.62 as a one-time hardware purchase, excluding VAT; hardware pricing varies by region. Matter is documented as an experimental, unsupported integration, so buyers who depend on broad verified third-party compatibility should weigh that limitation. Loxone provides email support and documentation. Choose it if centralized automation, local processing and energy management match the project; consider alternatives if experimental Matter support or extensive verified integrations are essential.
