Just in time for the holiday season, the LOXONE App is getting a major holiday update that delivers one of the most requested features. Version 16.2 has a fresh new design that makes it clearer, calmer and more modern – and now even accompanies you on the road with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This update is a thank you to all our users and partners – and a preview of where the LOXONE App is headed.
A Fresh, Modern Look
We have given the LOXONE App a facelift. The app now looks lighter, clearer and more intuitive. The new tiles make optimal use of the space on your smartphone, allowing you to see more at a glance and find what you need faster. Icons and colors have also been carefully updated to round off the design.
Your Loxone Building as a Passenger: Apple Carplay & Android Auto as Beta
With support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, your building becomes your companion on every journey. Safety and comfort are our top priorities. Instead of having to reach for your smartphone while driving or turning into your driveway, you can now access many practical features directly on your vehicle’s display, such as:
- Opening the garage door: Just tap the car display.
- Deactivating the alarm system: Done before you even get out of the car.
- Activating scenes: Switch on the outdoor lighting or activate “Coming Home” mode while you’re still on the road.
Support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is currently in beta. For security reasons, features that are password-protected in the user interface cannot be executed.
Pro Tip: Customize Category Colors
With version 16.2, we’re adding color to categories. Want to customize them? It’s easy:
- Open a category
- Tap the 3 dots in the top right corner
- Select “Change visualization”
- Tap “Background color”
- Select the color for the category
A Glimpse Into the Future: The Year 2026
The Holiday Update marks not the end, but the beginning. The latest app updates to improve performance and modernize the design are just the start. 2026 will be a year with many more app updates: more refinement in design, new features and continuous improvements to the user experience – for end customers and partners alike.
We hope you enjoy the LOXONE Holiday Update – and wish you a relaxing journey through the Christmas season.
