Automation core Miniserver
The local control center that coordinates lighting, shading, climate, energy, audio, access, and security across the building.
All-in-one building automation
Loxone Smart Home and Building Automation
A unified automation platform for lighting, climate, shading, energy, audio, access, and security. AVgator plans the infrastructure, integrations, controls, testing, and documentation around each project’s actual requirements.
Overview
What Loxone is and where it fits.
Loxone is a building-automation platform designed to coordinate essential functions through one locally managed system. Its Miniserver-centered architecture can bring lighting, shading, climate, energy, audio, access, security, and other compatible equipment into a shared control environment.
The platform is used in smart homes as well as offices, hospitality, multifamily, and other commercial buildings. A successful system begins with clear functional requirements, planned wiring and enclosures, compatible interfaces, disciplined configuration, and complete handover documentation.
Role in the system
What It Does
Loxone uses sensors, controls, extensions, software, and supported third-party interfaces to automate routine building behavior. Lighting can follow presence and scenes, shades can respond to sun and comfort requirements, room climate can be zoned, and energy use can be coordinated without asking occupants to manage several separate apps.
The available feature set always depends on exact products, software, licensing, interfaces, network design, and project scope.
The Loxone ecosystem
One platform. Purpose-built products.
A Loxone project begins with the Miniserver, then adds the controls, extensions, sensing, audio, access, and energy hardware the building actually needs. AVgator plans these products as one coordinated system.

System expansion Extensions & Tree
DIN-rail extensions add relays, dimming, interfaces, metering, and Loxone Tree connectivity as project requirements grow.
Room controls Touch Pure
A glass room control for lighting, shading, audio, and climate. Touch Pure Flex adds project-specific icons, labeling, and functions.
Integrated audio Audioserver
A DIN-rail audio engine for music zones, doorbells, announcements, alarms, and scalable speaker distribution.
Energy management Energy Meter Tree
Tree-connected meters provide the live consumption and production data needed for coordinated energy decisions and reporting.
Access control NFC Code Touch
A glass keypad and NFC reader for doors, gates, garages, user permissions, and integrated access workflows.
Designed as a system
The product list follows the project plan.
We define room functions, infrastructure, panel capacity, integrations, network requirements, controls, and service expectations before final product selection.
Product availability, features, interfaces, and compatibility depend on the selected models, software versions, region, and project scope. Product imagery courtesy of Loxone.
Best-fit applications
Where Loxone is commonly considered.
Smart homes
One coordinated experience across comfort, lighting, access, energy, and entertainment.
New construction
Projects that can plan controls, panels, cabling, sensors, and interfaces early.
Hospitality
Automated guest comfort and repeatable operational behavior.
Offices
Presence-aware lighting, climate, access, energy, and shared-space functions.
Multifamily buildings
Repeatable apartment controls with appropriate property-level coordination.
AVgator’s role
How AVgator Uses Loxone
Our work connects discovery, system architecture, compatibility review, infrastructure planning, implementation, commissioning, documentation, and support.
- 01
Translate owner, occupant, and operator priorities into room-by-room functions and automation behaviors.
- 02
Plan the Miniserver, extensions, panels, cabling, network, sensors, controls, and third-party interfaces.
- 03
Configure and commission lighting, shading, climate, energy, audio, access, security, and user controls within the approved scope.
- 04
Test normal and failure behavior, then provide system documentation, training, backups, and a support path.

Details that determine reliability.
- Confirm exact product, extension, interface, software, and licensing requirements for every requested function.
- Coordinate panel space, power, Tree or Air architecture, network services, field wiring, and trade responsibilities before installation.
- Define which functions remain local and what depends on internet services, remote access, or a third-party system.
- Retain configuration files, credentials, device records, labeling, and accurate as-built documentation.

Learn about BACnetWhat can Loxone automate?
A designed Loxone system can coordinate compatible lighting, shading, climate, energy, audio, access, security, and other building functions through shared controls and automation logic.
Is Loxone only for smart homes?
No. Loxone is used in residences as well as offices, hospitality, multifamily, retail, and other commercial building applications.
What is the Loxone Miniserver?
The Miniserver is the central control component in a Loxone system. The complete design may also include extensions, sensors, controls, audio products, and supported third-party interfaces.
Can Loxone manage energy and EV charging?
It can coordinate supported meters, generation, storage, chargers, and controllable loads when the required products, measurements, interfaces, and operating priorities are defined.
Can Loxone integrate with other building systems?
Often, through supported interfaces, extensions, APIs, or gateways. Available commands, feedback, licensing, and failure behavior must be confirmed for the exact products and software versions.
