Security That Thinks Ahead.
A building that protects people, valuables, and itself.
Many Buildings Have a Patchwork of Standalone Systems:
An alarm system from one provider,
fire detectors from another,
a separate access control system,
and different apps for each.
This is frustrating – and, in an emergency, it wastes time.
The Four Pillars of Building Security
Protection Against Unauthorised Access
Unusual activity outside of business hours?
The building detects risks early on and responds – even when no one is on-site.
Protection of People
In the event of smoke, fire, or escape of water, every second counts. LOXONE alerts you via the App, text message, and/or phone call and provides active support to resolve the incident.
Protection of Assets
Active shading during a storm?
Utility rooms with water ingress?
The building detects risks early on and responds automatically before major damage occurs.
Digital Security
Many systems are constantly connected to cloud services. LOXONE operates locally: core features run even without an internet connection – leaving no external point of vulnerability.
Your Building Reacts When Something’s Wrong
Whether it’s a break-in, smoke, water, or unusual activity – the system detects risks early and responds immediately.
One system. Everything works together. In every building.
Smart Home
Protection for families, treasured possessions and buildings.
Offices
Safe at all times. Even outside of business hours.
Hotels
In an emergency, the building automatically helps to protect guests and staff.
Special Cases
From medical clinics to gyms – the safety plan adapts to the specific use.

Features That Keep Your Building Safe
Building security with LOXONE means that your building reacts automatically at just the right moment – without any manual intervention.
Flexible Alarm Zones
Want to arm only the ground floor at night?
No problem. You can define zones to fit your daily routine.
Simplified Operation
You can control your building’s security from any button or at any time via the LOXONE App.
One tap is all it takes to put your building into alarm armed or away mode.
Notified Immediately
With the LOXONE App, you can check the status of your alarm zones at any time.
You can immediately see where an event has been triggered and what is happening in the building.
Customisable Alert Chains
Not every alert needs to be loud – but every one needs to get through and be acknowledged. Customise how your building responds: push notification, phone call, email, or alarm.
Presence Simulation
Even when no one is around for a while, your building still feels lively: lighting, shading and other systems run automatically.
Fire and Water Alarms
Smoke or escape of water are detected early. The building responds immediately and notifies the responsible parties.
False Alarm Suppression
Multiple sensors can be intelligently combined. An alarm is triggered only when specific conditions are met. This reduces unnecessary interruptions – especially in commercial settings.
Monitor the Open Status
Are any windows or gates still open?
The building automatically notifies you via text message or voice alert. This is a real benefit when leaving the building or during a storm.
Delayed Sharp Switching
The armed alarm system only activates after a short delay. This gives you enough time to leave the building – without setting off the alarm yourself.
Logging & History
Who entered the building and when?
When was a window opened?
Just check the App. Easy to track – no additional systems required.
Panic Button Included
If desired, you can assign a button to trigger an alarm with a long press –
complete with a flashing light, the alarm at full volume and a custom alarm sequence.
Child Lock Included
Certain functions can be specifically disabled – such as the stove, sauna, or utility rooms.
Practically anywhere where safety also means preventing accidental operation.
Security Isn’t Added.
It’s Built In.
Across lighting, access, shading, energy, and more – everything works together to keep your building secure.
Products for Your Building’s Security
A smart, automated security system doesn’t require a separate alarm setup.
Existing components in the building are utilised intelligently.

Reliably detect motion and automatically trigger actions – such as lights, alarms, or notifications.
Water Sensor
Detects escape of water through leaks early on. This helps prevent damage before it occurs. Can be placed anywhere thanks to LOXONE Air.
Door & Window Contact
Reliably detects open doors and windows. Ideal for alarm functions – but also for energy management.
Window Handle Air
Detects whether a window is open, tilted, or closed. It also detects vibrations – such as those caused by attempts to break the glass.
Smoke Detector Air
Accurately detects smoke particles and immediately triggers an alarm flagging the emergency situation.
Caller Service
In the event of an alarm, the system can automatically trigger calls, ensuring that the appropriate personnel are notified immediately.
Alarm Siren
Alerts people in the event of an alarm – both inside the building and beyond. Features an audible alarm, flashing light and built-in tamper protection.
Button Air
Enables the quick triggering of predefined actions. Whether it’s an emergency function, a machine stop, or an alarm: all it takes is the push of a button.
Wrist Button Air
A portable, customisable button for quick responses. In an emergency, an alarm can be triggered discreetly.
Smoke, water, or a storm?
When things get critical, your building reacts immediately – before any damage occurs.
Detects smoke early and sounds the alarm immediately – including automatic responses such as turning on lights or opening escape routes.
Detects escape of water immediately and takes action before a leak causes major damage.
Actively protects the building during storms – for example, by automatically closing awnings and putting external shading into storm protection mode.
Security that goes beyond a switch.
With the LOXONE App, you can keep an eye on your building at all times – whether it’s a home, office, or hotel.
At a glance, you can see:
which alarm zone has been triggered,
where an event has occurred,
or whether the alarm is armed or disarmed.
And you can respond immediately.

Do I need a security camera for smart building security?
A security camera isn’t strictly necessary in a smart building equipped with LOXONE building security.
The building detects unusual events on its own and reacts automatically – for example, in the event of attempted break-ins.
Using the Intercom, you can see who is approaching your building at any time.
If desired, however, many cameras from various manufacturers can be integrated into the LOXONE security system.
The only requirement is support for the standard HTTP protocol and the .jpg or .mjpg file formats.
Wireless Alarm Systems vs. Wi-Fi Alarm Systems – What are the benefits?
LOXONE has developed its own wireless standard, LOXONE Air, for renovations and retrofits.
It offers significant advantages over traditional Wi-Fi-based alarm systems and ensures reliable building security.
High reliability:
Unlike Wi-Fi networks, LOXONE Air operates with exceptional stability and reliability – even without an internet connection.
Two-way communication:
Sensors and the system mutually confirm every message – ensuring no information is lost.
High encryption standard:
Communication via IPv6 and IPsec ensures a high level of security.
Long range:
The integrated mesh technology enables stable wireless coverage.
Everything from a single source:
All LOXONE components are perfectly coordinated and form a seamless system for modern building security.
When can I activate a smart home alarm system by calling emergency services?
Certification of the security system is not strictly required for telephone connection to the police, fire department and other emergency services. Rather, available capacity and compliance with required transmission standards are the determining factors. This is verified on a case-by-case basis by the respective agency.
Private security services typically require digital data transmission in accordance with the SIA DC-09 standard for telephone connection, which is supported by the LOXONE security system.
Can an attack using a jammer interfere with a LOXONE Air alarm system?
All wireless technologies operate on a specific frequency. An attack using a jammer can permanently interfere with wireless communication within a defined frequency band, thereby disrupting communication.
LOXONE Air technology includes specific countermeasures designed precisely to detect this type of attack. The LOXONE Air interface regularly checks whether the radio channel is clear for devices that are continuously powered. This check is linked by default to the Alarm System module. In the event of an attack by a jammer, this triggers an alarm.
What is the difference between a traditional alarm system and an integrated smart security system like LOXONE?
A traditional alarm system does exactly what it was designed to do: it sounds the alarm. LOXONE prevents things from getting that far – and if they do, the entire building responds.
The difference lies in the approach. A traditional alarm system is reactive – it detects an event and triggers an alarm. It is a standalone system that knows nothing about the rest of the building.
LOXONE is integrated. The same sensors that monitor security also control lighting, shading, and climate. In an emergency, it’s not just a siren that reacts – shading opens, lights turn on, and responsible parties are notified. The building acts as a whole.
A concrete example: A traditional alarm system detects smoke. LOXONE detects smoke, activates the lights for all escape routes, unlocks exit doors, and simultaneously notifies all defined contacts.
No more reactionary alarms. More intelligence.
How secure is a smart home against hacker attacks?
Core features run locally on the Miniserver in the building. Lighting, security, climate control – all of these work without a constant cloud connection. What isn’t constantly connected can’t be constantly attacked.
Specifically, this means:
No external server stores your buildings data. Communication between components is encrypted. Remote access via the app takes place over a secure connection – without your data passing through third-party servers.
Your data stays where it belongs at all times.
How much does a smart security system for a single-family home cost - and is it more affordable than a standalone alarm system?
The key comparison isn’t LOXONE versus a single alarm system – it’s LOXONE versus everything a traditional alarm system can’t do.
LOXONE is a comprehensive building management system with security built right in – at no extra cost.
Does LOXONE completely replace a traditional alarm system?
Yes – it can be a complete replacement.
A traditional alarm system makes sense when it is required by law or explicitly mandated by an insurance company – for example, in cases involving particularly high-value assets or specific commercial requirements. In these cases, a certified third-party system can be integrated as needed.
Can I retrofit a LOXONE security system even if I already have an alarm system?
Yes. There are two typical scenarios:
You want to replace your existing alarm system. In most cases, this is possible without replacing all the wiring. Existing sensors, detectors, and contacts can often be integrated directly into the LOXONE system – depending on the manufacturer and protocol. What’s eliminated: the separate alarm control panel, the separate app, the separate maintenance contract. What’s created: a system that combines security with lighting, shading, climate, and access control.
You want to keep your existing alarm system and add LOXONE. That’s possible, too. Existing certified systems – such as those required for insurance purposes – can be integrated into the LOXONE system. LOXONE then handles the overarching logic: what happens when the alarm triggers, which rooms respond, and who is notified.
LOXONE Air was developed for wireless retrofitting without any structural modifications. Sensors, contacts, and detectors communicate directly with the Miniserver – no new cables, no ripping open walls. This makes retrofitting a realistic option even in existing buildings, rental properties, or listed buildings.
