Adding technology becomes simpler
While the way that we build homes has remained relatively unchanged over the decades, the amount of technology that we’re including in them is changing faster than most of us can keep up with today. This means we’re installing several lighting circuits per room, a burglar alarm system, more involved HVAC control and much more…
With all these systems, comes multiple switches and points of control. Essentially, the lack of a unified home. Why not find a way to bring it all together as one unit to make your life easier?
If you’re planning a new build or renovation, then it‘s time to ask yourself about a simpler option. Is the technology in your home going to complement your lifestyle over the years to come? And, how can it adapt as your needs change over time?
Technology can be scary, but it doesn‘t have to be if you free your mind of the overcomplicated points of control. So there must be a way to improve our homes‘ interior without sacrificing the peace of mind brought by ease of control, familiarity and reliability
Breaking down the benefits
Minimize switches
Adding more technology shouldn’t mean adding more switches, when you can be maximizing the functionality at your control. Loxone keeps it simple and user-friendly for the whole family
Center
The center of the switch controls lighting. Whether it’s to turn the lights on, off or to select different colors.
Corners
The corners of the switch give you more control based on your needs for lighting, music and shading. For example, this could include lowering or raising the volume.
One app for total control
To complement the switches in your home, you can also use the Loxone App to conveniently control all features – even when you’re not at home. You can also monitor systems or devices, manage access codes and more.
The app is conveniently organized into categories and
rooms. You can also decide which users can control each feature.
