![]() ![]() You can even mount you iPad controller on the wall - making a very stylish accessory. It would be a poor system these days that runs only on one type of computer and so you will be happy to see that our software runs on iPhone ®, iPod ® Touch, iPad ® and Android ®, or via web browser, providing total flexibility as to how and when you configure your options. The Loxone computer control system is just that - a software tool that helps you configure just how the sytem will run to your exact specification - and then makes it happen. The system therefore requires a central control, something that can run the whole show in a co-ordinated fashion, but can be set to the exact requirements of the owner. I now have the BAB-tec module as a plan-B in case I need to move away from loxone ever.The whole idea of a smarthome is to bring intelligence to control elements in the home that have been historically slavish and dumb.įor this to be truly appealing, it must be as personal as possible. Took a few evenings of room-by-room migrations, some learning of ETS inside (once you "get it", it's really easy to work with) and some fine tuning. This was also the moment that I Invested in the BAB-tec app-module with ETS inside, and we moved all our movement sensors to KNX movement sensors. (we ended up with basic KNX buttons from Gira, since we had Gira material all around already, so color and finish matches). Basic means, looks and feels like old fashioned buttons, include a temperature sensor, a led for visual feedback/alarm, and have enough capability to switch/dim the lights/blinds for a room. So we decided to go to relatively basic KNX switches (these are available nowadays, weren't there 4 years ago when we had to decide). ![]() The general feeling for loxone chnged from my side because of this). Strange products which make me wonder who would ever want those. Also Loxone started to act in ways which I don't like (no direct purchases or cases for end-users anymore, all through partners. and the visitors all wondered how these things worked. the robot vacuum cleaner which starts when nobody is home since 30 minutes : MUST-HAVEĨ) my better half started to complain about not liking the loxone touch buttons. the cameras (from ubiquiti, in POE) and the alarms that turn on and off mechanically depending on the presence or absence of the family : MUST-HAVE the double-flow mechanical ventilation which starts by itself when it is needed (CO2 too high in a room, get fresh air from outside in summer, exit humidity from kitchen / bathroom, exit bad smell from toilets / kitchen) : MUST-HAVE the heating turns on and off by itself and can be managed by rooms (depending on the temperature of the rooms and the state of the windows and the weather forecast) : MUST-HAVE (but is still challenged as we want to make a passive home without heating) the lights that turn on and off automatically according to various criteria (we go to sleep, it's daytime, it's nighttime, the luminosity goes below a certain threshold. the water heater that switches to boost mode when hot water consumption exceeds a certain threshold over a given period of time : MUST-HAVE ![]()
