A Smart Home without the Cloud!

We believe everyone has the right to privacy and the protection of their personal data.

It’s a personal right that Loxone considers and protects 100% because when it comes to the data of our customers, we follow a strict principle: Your Home, Your Data.

Smart Home mit Schutzschild
Your Home, Your Data

A Loxone Smart Home keeps your data where it belongs – on your Miniserver. The Miniserver is the central device – the brain – of your smart home, on which your data is stored and processed.

Unlike other systems (IFTTT, Siri, Alexa), there is no storage or processing of your data in a cloud. Sensitive data, such as the number of people at home, schedules, camera images of door intercom systems, the status of the alarm system, etc. remain in your own four walls.

A Smart Home without cloud or internet connection 

A Loxone Smart Home can intelligently take care of numerous task for you, even without a cloud or internet connection.

Functions such as automated lighting, zoned heating, multiroom audio and much more are all available without any need for the internet or the cloud. We do offer some features which need internet connectivity however these are non-crucial functions such as online weather data and push notifications to your smartphone.

Authentication exclusively via Miniserver

The registration of the Miniserver takes place exclusively over the Miniserver itself. A Loxone web account (used for making purchases in our webshop) has no connection with the login details for a Loxone Miniserver.

For many smart home solutions, which, unlike Loxone, are operated via a cloud, access is via a login on one side of the manufacturer. This login can become a central point of attack. In the Loxone system, there is no central node that can be cracked to gain access to all Miniservers. This means that Loxone has no access to the customers’ Miniservers.

Each Loxone Smart Home system is protected individually by the security mechanisms of the Miniservers and the general network security – which is in the hands of the user. Network security is a very important topic for the smart home. If this is neglected, absolute data security is uncertain. For this reason, choosing a secure network setup is essential!

The problems with Cloud-based systems

The problems with Cloud-based systems

weather service - loxone software reagiert auf das wetter

Dependency on
the manufacturer’s server

If a manufacturer terminates a service, every single installation using that particular service instantly becomes unusable.

A Loxone Smart Home is not dependant on “Loxone Servers” to process logic. So, your home runs independantly of our infrastructure.

Lack of
privacy 

We’ve all heard the rumours that some systems might be listening to you; we can’t tell you if those rumours are true or not however what we can tell you it is not the case in a Loxone Smart Home. Additionally, rest assured that your data never even leaves your home, restaurant, office, hotel, etc.

Offline
availability

Another, fairly obvious, issue with cloud-based solutions is that they do not work offline – or if they do they offer incredibly limited functionality. Therefore a stable internet connection is always required. However, an internet connection is not needed for a Loxone system to work.
