Lower energy consumption thanks to smart controls
1. Use Smart Sun Protection
First, shading; then, air conditioning. LOXONE automatically controls roller shutters and blinds based on sunlight and the time of day, detects open doors and windows — and thus reduces energy consumption. On some days, shading alone is enough, so the air conditioner stays off.
2. Keep Rooms Moderately Cool.
Less is more: Cooling a room to 16 °C uses a lot of energy and offers little comfort. A better option: 24 °C in the living room, 19–20 °C in the bedroom. Just set your desired temperature, and LOXONE will take care of the rest.
3. Prevent Heat-Related Issues the Smart Way
Cool down before it gets too hot. LOXONE activates the air conditioning based on temperature, a schedule and/or occupancy — exactly when it’s needed. It can even respond proactively to the weather forecast and electricity prices.
4. Use Your Own Solar Power.
Let the sun work for you. With LOXONE, your air conditioning system automatically uses excess solar power on hot days. Sustainable, comfortable and cost-effective.
5. Reduce Humidity
Did you know? High humidity makes rooms feel warmer. Lowering it to an ideal level of 40–60% creates a noticeably more comfortable indoor climate.
