The LOXONE App: New design. Instantly familiar.

Modern & Clean

The new LOXONE green makes the app instantly recognizable. The new navigation provides more space, while the redesigned layout offers greater contrast and a clean, streamlined look.

Light Mode

The LOXONE app will soon be available in a light theme – with a friendly, clean look. Switch between light and dark, or let the app follow your system default.

Faster Performance

Faster response and load times for improved user experience.

New Ribbon: Get to Your Goal Faster

The ribbon has been completely redesigned: better organized, clearer, and easier to access. Fewer clicks to the feature you need – that saves time on the job site.

New: Fan Coil Modules

With three new modules, we’re significantly simplifying the intelligent control of fan coils and induction units. This gives you, as a partner, the best possible foundation for commercial HVAC projects.

 

The fan coil controller controls recirculating air units, the fan coil fresh air controller is designed for fresh air units, and the fan coil central controller handles the overarching control. Whether 2-pipe or 4-pipe systems – the modules are designed for various installation types.

Indoor air quality? Check.

One module for everything: Intelligent Room Controller is now the central control system for all indoor climate factors—heating, cooling, air conditioning units, and fan coils. What previously required specialized logic is now handled by a single module starting with Version 17. Fan speed and airflow direction can also be controlled directly from the room controller.

 

 

Air conditioning units and fan coils are integrated more deeply into Intelligent Room Control for this purpose. This significantly simplifies configuration – especially for commercial projects such as hotels or offices.

Easy to Use

The smart room control system has been redesigned in the app. In addition to being easy to use, it allows users to see key data such as air quality, humidity, and temperature at a glance.

The changes to the module make it noticeably easier to use: You can now set the desired temperature intuitively using the plus and minus buttons or by swiping up and down – ideal for the Touch Pure Flex.

New Module: Presence Central

With the new “Presence Central” module, you can keep track of current occupancy throughout the entire building. When no one is present, the system can automatically trigger actions – such as switching the heating mode or arming the alarm system.

 

 

In the app, you can enable or disable occupancy detection for specific rooms – including using a timer for a set period of time.

Apple CarPlay & Android Auto are here – with new features

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now available to the general public following the beta phase – with new features.

 

  • Controls now display the current status – you can see at a glance whether a gate is open or closed.
  • From now on, a single button is all it takes to open and close a gate – ideal for the driveway.
  • The previous security prompt before each action has been removed, and you receive immediate feedback when a command is executed.
Improved Analytics & Easier Navigation

LOXONE Exosphere

Exosphere makes it easy to manage and analyze large-scale projects involving multiple Miniserver units. With our latest update, you’ll enjoy new analytics features, faster navigation, and more flexible dashboards.

Private Trust: Easy management of your customers’ installations

Do you manage dozens of customer installations? Then it’s convenient to manage access centrally via a trust. This way, you can assign your users to all installations and have access everywhere with a single account.

 

However, this used to have a drawback: Every participant in the trust could see all the other installations – so Customer A knew that Customer B existed as well.

 

With the new Private Trust, that’s a thing of the past. Activate a single option in the Trust Manager – and from now on, every participant will only see themselves and the Trust Manager. Full control for you, full privacy for your customers.

 

This is also a key advantage for energy communities: managing multiple participants in a trust without them knowing about each other – clearly separated, centrally managed.

Adjustable transmission interval for Tree devices

Starting with version 17, the transmission interval for Tree devices can be customized. This allows you to precisely align your control logic with the devices’ control intervals. This is particularly useful for high-speed systems such as air conditioning units and fan coils, as it helps prevent oscillations and improves control quality.
