Explained: First steps with the Loxone Miniserver

Jacob Sugden
11th May 2023 in Know How

The Loxone Miniserver is the brain of every Loxone installation and connects all components within a smart building, similar to the human nervous system. This system is truly revolutionary in the world of home and building automation. The Miniserver is extremely flexible in its application, controlling the intelligent automation of smart homes, commercial properties and special applications. Miniservers are now live in several hundred thousand projects around the world with this number growing every day.

This video will introduce you to the differences between the Miniserver, Miniserver Go and Miniserver Compact, the applications that each is most commonly used in and what the initial configuration of a Miniserver looks like. A great first-steps resource for new Loxone Partners to start implementing revolutionary building automation solutions with Loxone.
