Loxone
Standards & Recommendations
We rely on clear standards to ensure that Smart Homes, Apartments and Hotels can be optimally adapted to the needs of their occupants. These standards reduce manual actions by up to 50,000 per year. Presence, operation and temperature are crucial factors in making a building intelligent, secure, energy-efficient and comfortable. Our recommendations are based on the experience gained from numerous Loxone installations.
The must-haves in every room
The following functions are essential for intelligent control in your building.
Presense Detection
The presence of people has a significant influence on the behaviour of the room – for example, lighting, security or heating. We recommend installing at least one Presence Sensor in every room.
Loxone Touch
Everything runs automatically in a smart home. If you do want to intervene, we recommend installing a Touch Pure in every room. This allows you to control lighting, blinds and music manually at any time.
Loxone App
The Loxone app is indispensable when it comes to security. When the alarm rings, you will immediately receive a push notification and can react quickly if necessary.
Indoor Climate
The perfect combination of heating, ventilation and cooling is crucial for ensuring comfort in your building. A Loxone Touch with an integrated Temperature Sensor or a Room Climate Sensor is therefore indispensable.
Shading
Automated shading can take your building to the next level– both for privacy and for efficient heating or cooling of rooms. All common shading systems can be seamlessly integrated into Loxone.
Audio
The Loxone Audioserver not only provides a first-class music experience in every room, but also offers practical functions such as doorbell, text-to-speech, alarm and many other features.
Energy Management
Energy management is one of the most important issues in any building. With intelligent energy management from Loxone, energy production, consumption and usage can be optimised efficiently.
Door & Window Contact
The opening status of windows and doors is crucial for numerous functions in the building, such as heating and security. With a Door & Window Contact Air, you can monitor this optimally.
Security
Security is a key factor in every building. The security system, which is fully integrated into Loxone, reliably protects residents and buildings from dangers such as burglary, water damage or fire.
The Loxone Switch Standard
We designed the Loxone button standard with clarity in mind. By reducing the number of buttons, we make control more intuitive and straightforward. This standard reflects our recommendation for how switches should be placed and operated, ensuring everyone finds them straightforward to use.
Single-tap
Just a tap on the large central area will switch the lighting mood. A tap on the top or bottom left corner will raise or lower blinds, respectively. The same goes for control of music on the right hand side corners to adjust the volume.
Double-tap
When you’re leaving a room, a double-tap in the center is all you need to shut off the lights and connected devices in the room. If you double-tap the top right corner for music, it will change the music source. To switch off music again, you can double-tap the bottom right corner.
Triple-tap
A triple-tap activates ‘All Out’ Mode. This means the entire building will go into a sleep mode by switching all lights off, disconnecting standby devices and arming the burglar alarm. If this is done on a bedside switch, it activates ‘Night’ Mode.
It can also be set for your own preferences.
