Work even more efficiently: Improved UX in the Loxone Config
Improved Creation of Rooms and Pages: A new input window collects the most important data for a more intuitive and accurate creation
Miniserver Search & Firewall Handling: The search function for miniservers in the network has been improved. Additionally, the config now recognizes possible sources of errors in the firewall settings that can affect the findability of the miniserver.
Simpler and more versatile
User Administration
Thanks to category groups and prohibitions, assigning authorizations is even more powerful – and simpler. Category groups can be used to enable individual functions, such as heating or lighting. Prohibitions allow adjustments to be made without having to create separate groups for each use case.
Save time:
Automatic Updates for Gateway Client Systems
Just like individual miniservers, client/gateway systems can now also be updated automatically. This new feature also enables gateway/client systems to be updated via Exosphere. This saves time and significantly reduces maintenance work.
Creates clarity:
Control History for Additional Functions
The Control History is already very popular for automatic shading or lighting control. Now it is also available for other modules:
- Windows
- Gate Controls
- Sky-Light Shading
Spot Price Optimizer:
Be prepared for price hikes
The spot price optimizer receives a output data for electric pricing changes. This allows logics to be implemented for even better optimization of energy consumption – e.g. to heat up a boiler before a price jump.
Tree to Air Bridge:
Integrate even more devices
Integrate even more devices with the Tree-to-Air-Bridge: We’ve optimized the communication protocols, allowing us to set the maximum limit to 128 devices. In addition, connected Air devices no longer take up any Tree space.
Further Improvements
- New firmware for the Gen.1 Actuator for improved service life
- New API to integrate hotel software such as Casablanca
Exosphere:
A new level of user-friendliness
We have paid a lot of attention to improving the user experience within our Exosphere building management system (BMS). Detailed descriptions, help texts and error messages as well as improved user guidance simplify operation enormously.
Exosphere has also been given new functions:
Miniserver Hub: Better Management of Miniservers and Projects
- An intuitive interface for managing Project Files and Miniservers
- Everything at a glance thanks to improved, clear detailed view in the System Dashboard
- Status display for quick detection of problems
- Advanced filter and search functions
- Support for multiplier programs
- Connection history
Personal Workspaces: Free Storage and Management for Everyone
- Free, license-free workspaces for managing project files and access data on
- Free extension of the Loxone Config with cloud storage
- Can be used immediately by logging in with the Loxone account in the Loxone Config or in Exosphere
- Easy migration to fully-fledged Exosphere workspaces
Integrated Backup Storage: Security for Your Projects
- Seamless integration of backups into the Loxone Config
- Cloud access to backups with metadata
- Secure authentication and access control
- Performance optimizations for large files
- Rate limiting for bandwidth control: Maximum 10 downloads per hour and 1 GB per hour
- Automatic backup integrity check
Miscellaneous
- More flexible export of Exosphere database in configurable output format
- Simplified, faster-to-use search mask for adding metrics to diagrams, plant schematics, etc.
Optimized energy consumption of the
Stereo Extension
Our Stereo Extension has been updated, reducing the device temperature by an average of 3 degrees. This improves stability and increases service life.
