Configuration

Setup

First, Gardena must be added. To do so, click on Network Periphery in the periphery tree, then Add Network Device and select Gardena.

Authentication

After initially saving to the Miniserver, you must authenticate with your Gardena account. Please wait for the system status message asking you to allow your Miniserver access to your Gardena smart devices.

If the Gardena status changes to red after saving to the Miniserver, the connection to the Gardena smart service could not be established.

If communication to the Gardena smart service is interrupted for more than 10 days, the authentication process must be repeated.

Add devices

If the authentication was successful, your Gardena smart devices can be added via Device Search in Loxone Config.

  • Max. 700 requests per week. Any additional commands will be throttled.

  • 10 requests per 10-second interval. Any additional commands will be throttled.
