specifically when you’re cooking, relaxing or having guests over. This level
of comfort can only be experienced in a Loxone Smart Home. Multiroom audio
Multiroom audio allows you to listen to a wide range of music in different rooms
of your home and to have your music follow you as you move between rooms.
Wake up to your favourite song in the morning and listen to relaxing music in
the evening, for example.

Shading that works for you


In the morning, your bedroom blinds will open gradually to welcome in the
day, whilst downstairs the blinds open fully to allow the sunshine to assist with
heating your home. At dusk, your blinds will close to give you privacy.

Use the Goodnight button for an effortless bedtime routine. One click is all you
need to turn off appliances, switch off the lights and arm the alarm, leaving
you free to sink into bed and drift off into a peaceful sleep.

Did you know?


The average person carries out over 150 different tasks daily in their home,
from switching off lights to locking doors. Over a single year, that adds up to
around 50,000 potential actions! This is where the smart home can help – it
takes over these daily habits and frees up your time for the more important
things in life.

The nice thing about this functionality is that your home doesn’t need your
interaction. It runs perfectly without the app, so it’s simple and fuss-free for
all the family.

Our recommendation
To keep things simple, we recommend you have the same function for each
switch in your home. Use the central touch point for lighting and the four
corners for blind and music control. Easy to remember, even for guests.
