The family behind this new build had two main requirements of future-proof cabling and a solution that would centralise the main aspects of the home (eg heating and lighting). Loxone’s automation system was the perfect solution for these requests. The collaboration between the family, architect and Amica (Loxone Gold Partners) was key to implement smart home technology in the way that was envisioned.

Lighting was a major factor for the family, with it required to be intelligently automated, monitorable and controllable from anywhere around the world. Loxone fulfils these wishes: with the Loxone Miniserver providing intelligent automation and the Loxone App providing monitoring and control from anywhere around the world. The intelligent functions of the lights mean they are automated to turn on and off in relation to presence and adjust the lighting based on time of day and light levels in the room. Heating was another key consideration for the home, leading to zoned smart heating being implemented that just sorts itself out intelligently by learning to ensure everywhere in the home is at optimum temperature without unnecessarily wasting energy heating rooms that are not being used at that time. Temperature sensing is subtly and sleekly encased in the touch switches, keeping the different rooms clean aesthetics.

I love being a Loxone partner and installing their products. It keeps me at the forefront of the industry and I’m always busy with new and exciting projects. As for the quality of the Loxone devices, I cannot fault it as the craftsmanship and technology underneath is second to none.
