Challenge
This project required the implementation of a modern, future-proof building automation system that intelligently integrates all technical trades.Two key requirements were paramount:
1. Cross-trade integration
• Lighting (DALI with central scene control)
• Automatic shading (sun position and weather dependent)
• Room-by-room temperature control (energy-optimized)
• Window and door monitoring
• Multi-room audio
• Door communication
2. Architectural requirement
• Use of the open KNX standard as a robust, manufacturer-independent field level
• No traditional KNX installation with separate logic and visualization levels
• Goal: A seamless, integrated system with central intelligence
Solution
The implementation was achieved with a clearly LOXONE centric system architecture combined with the open KNX standard.Central control platform: LOXONE Miniserver
The Miniserver acts as the central intelligence, handling:
• Automation logic
• Visualization via app
• Intelligent scene control
• Security logic
• Remote access & user management
Implemented functions:
Lighting – DALI integrated
- Central lighting control including scenes, automation, presence logic, and visualization.
Shading – intelligent & automatic
- Sun position and weather-dependent control with energy optimization.
Indoor climate – zone-controlled
- Individual temperature zones with intelligent heating/cooling strategy.
Window & door contacts
- Status display, security logic, and automation integration.
Multiroom audio with the LOXONE Audio Server
- Central audio control with scene integration and app operation.
Door communication with DoorBird
- IP-based solution including full integration into the LOXONE system (live image, doorbell, door opening, push notification).
Centralized intelligence instead of isolated solutions – a comprehensive, future-proof automation system that intelligently connects all trades.
