The smart homethat runs itself.

Loxone is an Austrian-engineered smart home system that automates lighting, climate, shading, audio, security, energy, and access control from one central brain called the Miniserver. Unlike systems that rely on the cloud (Alexa, Google Home), Loxone processes everything locally inside your home — making it faster, more reliable, and completely private. Over 260,000 Loxone projects have been completed worldwide.

A starter system for a 2-3 bed London flat typically costs £8,000-£15,000, covering lighting and climate automation. A mid-range 3-5 bed house with lighting, climate, audio, and security runs £15,000-£40,000. Premium whole-home installations start from £40,000. We provide detailed, itemised proposals after a free site survey — no hidden costs.

Yes. The Miniserver Go Gen 2 uses Loxone Air wireless technology — up to 128 devices without running new cables. Nano modules fit behind your existing switches. Touch Pure Air panels run on battery. A typical 3-bed retrofit takes 3-5 days with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Everything keeps working. The Miniserver processes all automation locally, so your lights, climate, blinds, audio, and security continue as normal. You only need internet for remote access via the Loxone App when you're away from home.

Alexa and Google Home are voice-controlled remote controls — you tell them what to do. Loxone is true automation — your home makes decisions based on who's present, time of day, weather, and room conditions. Loxone also processes everything locally (no cloud), has no subscriptions, and doesn't collect or sell your data.

Control4 and Crestron are primarily control systems — they wait for your commands. Loxone automates proactively, handling up to 50,000 actions per year without you pressing anything. Loxone also processes everything locally with zero subscription fees, while Control4 and Crestron typically rely on cloud services and dealer maintenance contracts.

No. For retrofits, Loxone Nano modules fit behind your existing switches — you keep your current faceplates while gaining smart dimming and automation. For new builds, we recommend Touch Pure panels which combine lighting, blinds, and music control with built-in climate sensors, replacing banks of switches with one elegant glass panel per room.

None. Loxone has zero monthly fees, zero cloud subscriptions, and zero premium tiers. Firmware updates are free forever. The only ongoing cost is optional annual maintenance visits, which we recommend but don't require.

Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Words don't do Loxone justice; you need to feel a room respond to you walking in. We arrange live demonstrations of working Loxone systems so you can experience the lighting transitions, climate response, and app control first-hand before making any decision.
