As a provider of a complete solution, you have no excuse if the system fails. Taking on this responsibility is a matter of course for us as a manufacturer: perfection can only be achieved through a lot of practice. For us, there is no alternative to allowing products and software to mature to perfection in our own installation. At the Loxone Campus in Austria, we have implemented what we believe will be state of the art in 2024. Warehouse, office, restaurant, event space, wellness area, rooms… are all part of the installation. «

FAQs
Why should you implement Loxone in every new hotel?
In addition to many other things, efficient hotel operations require staff and energy in the form of heat and electricity. These two factors are massive cost drivers in the hotel industry. With Loxone, you can save a lot of money in these two areas in particular. On the one hand, staff can be relieved of certain tasks like by implementing self-check-in measures and simpler room management. On the other hand, the numerous software modules for energy management can save a lot of energy. In addition, smooth operation is guaranteed as fault messages from technical systems can be recorded and rectified immediately and not just when the customer calls reception to say that the heating is no longer working.
Can Loxone also be retrofitted in existing buildings?
Of course, Loxone is also perfect for anyone who already has an existing building and wants to retrofit Loxone. Our wireless technology, Loxone Air, which is based on the proven building radio standard, can be used wherever cables are not available. Thanks to the combination of cable and wireless technology, almost all requirements can be covered even in existing buildings.
I have high energy costs. Can Loxone help me to reduce my energy costs?
If energy costs rise, this has a direct impact on the profit at the end of the day. This makes it all the more important to identify and eliminate unnecessary energy consumption. But not only that, in times when almost every newly constructed building has a PV system on the roof and dynamic electricity tariffs are being introduced, it is also increasingly important to consume energy at certain times when it is available or cheap. This only works with an intelligent automation solution that activates or blocks shiftable loads such as hot water preparation, heat pumps, electric cars, pool pumps, cold storage rooms, washing machines, etc. at exactly the right time.
I have high personnel costs or I can't find enough staff. Can Loxone help me to relieve work load on my staff and reduce costs?
Loxone helps to save time during check-in, the stay and check-out, as these processes can be fully automated. Furthermore, you can control the entire hotel via the Loxone App and also remotely and immediately view and respond to current statuses and fault messages.
I would like to experience Loxone live. Where can I do that?
You can find installation partners who cover all types of projects, as well as their showhomes and more in our Partner Search. Plus, you can experience an in-depth tour at our Loxone UK showroom. However, if you are in the area, the best place to experience Loxone is at the Loxone Campus where we are mapping the following use cases with Loxone: Hotel with 80 rooms, seminar center, office with 350 workstations, warehouse with 65,000 ft² (6000 m²), the well-known restaurant Glorious Bastards and an auditorium with 600 seats for events.
Can I install Loxone myself?
Loxone is a professional solution and is intended for installation by a knowledgeable, trained installer. We can introduce you to a suitable Loxone Partner for your installation, or if you have an existing electrical engineering department within your company we can discuss training options for them to be able to conduct your installation. As Loxone is not a DIY solution, we are here to help you find the best path forward for your project with a suitable Partner.
Are there any electrical contractors who work with Loxone?
We are constantly looking for new Loxone Partners to implement great projects with us. Nevertheless, there is already an existing partner network of over 25,000 Loxone partners worldwide. There are more than 1,500 certified Loxone Partners in the UK alone. Here you can find some of the Loxone Partners in your area.
We would also be happy to provide advice and recommendations in your search for a Loxone Partner that is best for you.
I would like to connect Loxone to my PMS (Property Management System). Is that possible?
Yes, the advantages of Loxone in the hotel industry are that it can be perfectly utilised by connecting it to the PMS. On the one hand, the occupancy status of the room can be linked to the heating. This means that the room is only kept at a comfortable temperature as long as it is occupied by a guest. On the other hand, access and user management can also be automated. These functions can save a considerable amount of money, as energy consumption is minimized and staff workload is reduced. Proven system integrators such as my-bookings.org and more have already mastered this link between Loxone and the PMS in several projects.
