Information↑
The Loxone Weather Service allows you to manage and utilize weather data within your system. To use this service, it must be activated in the "My Products" section of your Loxone account by entering the license key received after purchase. Please note that the Miniserver must be connected to the Internet, as weather data is retrieved from an external server.
To ensure accurate weather data, set the Miniserver location in the project properties. The geo-coordinates will be calculated automatically, provided the Miniserver has a working internet connection. You can also define the preferred unit type for the weather data within the same properties.
Once the Weather Service has been added, it is important to save the configuration to the Miniserver to ensure that weather data is received and regularly updated.

Radiation Risk Classification (0–3)
The classification simplifies solar irradiance into levels for practical use:
Class 0: 0–20% → Very Low Radiation
Class 1: 20–40% → Low Radiation
Class 2: 40–60% → Moderate Radiation
Class 3: 60–100% → High Radiation
