LOXONE lets you automate any shading system – new build or retrofit. Predefined software modules eliminate complex programming efforts, saving time and ensuring happy customers.
Shading with Purpose
Automated shading doesn’t just consider light and shadow – it considers people.
The day begins with gentle natural light as shading brings in the right brightness. Throughout the day, it adjusts automatically to maintain comfort without effort. In the evening, shades lower to create a relaxed atmosphere while enhancing privacy and security.
Your automated blinds even react thoughtfully in an emergency. In the event of a fire, the shading opens to clear escape routes. In the event of break-in, shades go up exposing the intruder. And as part of a proactive security system, your shades can be made to simulate occupancy, signaling activity in the house and further deterring burglars.
Key Features of LOXONE Smart Shading
Temperature Control
In winter, the smart shades remains open to reduce heating costs by harnessing solar heat. In summer, they close proactively to passively cool the building and reduce load on the AC system.
Sun Tracking
Smart blinds align precisely with the sun’s position via Geopositioning. This maximizes natural light without glare and makes optimal use of solar energy.
Active Storm Protection
Using LOXONE weather data and sensors, the system detects storms and high winds early and automatically activates storm shutters to protect the building and its interiors.
Built-in Freeze Protection
When temperatures drop below freezing, the system prevents frozen slats or roller shutters from moving and potentially damaging themselves.
Presence-Based Control
When no one is in the room, the system optimizes energy efficiency. When people are present, the focus is on privacy, ambiance and glare control.
Security Interaction
In the event of an alarm (smoke or break-in), the shades automatically raise to clear egress and allow emergency personnel to see and access the interior.
Gentle Awakening
Instead of a loud alarm clock, the smart blinds can be raised gradually in the morning to let in natural daylight, providing you with a relaxing start to the day.

Whether it’s venetian blinds, shutters, curtains, awnings, or pleated blinds – with LOXONE any type of sun protection can be easily integrated into your building’s control system. Custom solutions adapt flexibly to fit the building’s architecture, its intended use and the needs of its occupants.
