Loxone

Smart Home Whole-Home Automation Miniserver Made in Austria

Loxone automates the entire home from one brain. Founded in 2009 in Kollerschlag, Austria, the company built its system around the Miniserver — its signature bright-green controller — which runs lighting, shading, heating and climate, multiroom audio, access, energy and security together, programmed as one logic rather than a stack of separate apps. The visible side is deliberately minimal: flush Touch switches and NFC keypads in white or anthracite glass with symbol-only fronts, plus intercoms and Loxone's own luminaires. The result is a home that simply behaves — lights, blinds and climate responding automatically — without a wall of gadgets. Via della Seta sources Loxone for residential and hospitality projects across the United States — handling specification, freight, customs and coordination with your Loxone partner under one contract.

Why specify Loxone for an interior project

Loxone is the choice when the goal is a home that runs itself, not a collection of smart devices. Because everything — lighting, shading, climate, audio, access and security — is programmed as one logic on the Miniserver, the house can respond automatically: blinds that track the sun, lighting scenes that follow the time of day, climate that adjusts room by room. For a designer, that means the technology delivers an experience and then disappears, instead of demanding attention through screens and apps.

The visible hardware is intentionally restrained. Touch and Touch Pure switches and the NFC Code Touch keypad are flush squares in white or anthracite glass with symbol-only, frameless fronts, and the Miniserver and electronics stay hidden in the technical cabinet. That keeps the walls clean while a single, coherent system handles the whole home — a strong fit for minimalist and architectural interiors where visible controls would break the scheme.

Via della Seta sources Loxone. We work from the spec — the scope of automation, switch and keypad finishes, audio and intercom — coordinate with your certified Loxone partner who programs and commissions the system, manage freight and US customs clearance, and consolidate the Loxone package with the rest of your specification (lighting, security, kitchens) under one contract and one timeline.

Best Loxone collections by use case

Controller

Miniserver

The green Miniserver — the brain of the system — running lighting, shading, climate, audio, access and security as one logic on the Tree and Air buses, hidden in the technical cabinet.

Switches

Touch, Touch Pure

Flush capacitive wall switches in white or anthracite glass with minimal, symbol-only fronts — controlling lighting, blinds, scenes and audio at a touch.

Access & entry

NFC Code Touch, Intercom

The NFC Code Touch keypad and the IP Intercom — keyless, app-connected access and door video in the same restrained glass design language.

Light & sound

LED, Audioserver

Loxone's own LED spots, ceiling lights and strips, plus the Audioserver and in-ceiling speakers — automated lighting and multiroom audio built into the system.

Collections

Miniserver

The signature green Loxone controller — the brain of the home, seen here as a DIN-rail module with rows of terminals and connector blocks. Hidden in the technical cabinet, it runs lighting, shading, climate, audio, access and security as one programmed logic.

Touch Pure

A flush capacitive wall switch in anthracite glass with discreet backlit symbols and no visible buttons — controlling lighting, blinds, scenes and audio at a touch. Minimal and frameless, it keeps the wall clean in a designed interior.

NFC Code Touch

An access keypad in anthracite glass with a glowing numeric pad and bell — keyless entry by code or NFC tag, plus a doorbell, in the same restrained glass design as the switches. Entry without a key or a phone.

Intercom

Loxone's IP video door station — a clean rounded-square unit in white with a camera and a single centered call symbol, streaming the entrance to the app and to wall units. The connected door, in the system's minimal language.

Care & maintenance

Glass switches & keypads

Wipe the glass fronts of Touch switches and the NFC Code Touch with a soft, barely damp cloth and dry; avoid abrasives and solvents. Capacitive surfaces stay most responsive when clean and free of grease.

Controller & cabinet

The Miniserver and electronics live in the technical cabinet and need little attention beyond keeping the cabinet ventilated and dust-free. Leave wiring and bus connections to your Loxone partner.

Software & commissioning

Loxone runs on Loxone Config, programmed and updated by a certified partner. Keep the system firmware and app current through them, and route changes to the automation logic via the partner rather than ad-hoc.

What is Loxone?

Loxone is a whole-home and building-automation system, founded in 2009 in Austria, built around the Miniserver controller. Rather than a set of separate smart devices, it runs lighting, shading, heating and climate, multiroom audio, access, energy and security together as one programmed logic, with minimal glass Touch switches and keypads as the visible controls.

Can I get Loxone in the United States through Via della Seta?

Yes. Via della Seta sources Loxone for residential and hospitality projects across the United States — including luxury residences in California, Florida, New York and Texas, and hospitality interiors nationwide. We handle specification, the order, freight and US customs clearance, and coordinate with your certified Loxone partner who programs and commissions the system.

How is Loxone different from KNX-based systems?

Both deliver whole-home control, but Loxone is a single, tightly integrated system: one Miniserver runs the whole logic, programmed in Loxone Config on the Tree and Air buses, with Loxone's own switches, keypads, intercom and luminaires. It is designed to make the home behave automatically out of one ecosystem, where a KNX project assembles devices from many brands. We supply both, depending on the brief.

What do the visible Loxone controls look like?

Deliberately minimal. The Touch and Touch Pure switches are flush squares in white or anthracite glass with symbol-only, frameless fronts, and the NFC Code Touch keypad matches them. The Miniserver and electronics stay hidden in the technical cabinet, so the walls stay clean — which suits minimalist and architectural interiors.

Who programs and installs a Loxone system?

Loxone is designed, programmed and commissioned by a certified Loxone partner using Loxone Config, as part of the building's wiring. We supply the hardware — Miniserver, switches, keypads, intercom, audio and lighting — and coordinate the device schedule, finishes and lead times with your partner and the rest of the specification, so the automation is ready when the project completes.

What can Loxone automate in a home?

Lighting, shading and blinds, heating and climate, multiroom audio, access and intercom, energy management and security — all from the one Miniserver. Because it is programmed as a single logic, the house can respond automatically: blinds tracking the sun, scenes following the time of day, climate adjusting room by room, rather than every function needing a manual app.
