Apartment automated 100% – thanks to Loxone Air Technology
Most people already have particular expectations when it comes to their dream house. Sometimes, however, we overestimate certain solutions or only discover them when the project has already been started or even completed. However, this does not mean that we are condemned to outdated solutions. This project shows how an apartment can benefit greatly from the versatility of the Loxone Air Technology – even in the middle of the building process.
What was implemented?
A developer with the vision to build an industrial-style dream apartment contacted Loxone’s Gold Partner, ControlMe, at a very advanced stage of the construction.
Prior to this, they had already decided to implement Loxone’s building automation.
The developer was convinced of the system’s ease of use and versatility. Besides, the ability to use wireless technology without having to start everything from scratch was exactly what this project needed.

Lighting
An apartment of this character needs the perfect lighting to emphasise its mysterious industrial character. Using dimmable LED illumination, different moods have been created for a variety of occasions. For example, one mood for watching movies has been created, in which atmospheric, dimmed lighting is switched on, the blinds are lowered and the projector and audio system are activated at the same time. At the entrance to the house, the lighting switches on automatically depending on the time of day, without unnecessarily wasting electricity when it is already light out. In addition, it works together with the shading system to make the interior as comfortable as possible while optimising the consumption of expensive energy sources. If manual intervention in the settings of individual subsystems is required, a single click on the corresponding area of the Touch Pure or the Loxone App is all it takes.
Control
The Touch Pure integrates seamlessly into the aesthetics of the interior design and provides comprehensive control over the technology in the interior. One Touch replaces up to five conventional switches, saving wall space and providing a better visual experience, perfectly complemented by the elegant glass surface of the Touch Pure version.
In addition, the switch contains a temperature and humidity sensor that helps to maintain the desired climate in the apartment. In cooperation with the air conditioner and the air heads installed on the radiators, the temperature in the apartment is always at the optimum level, adapted to the wishes and presence of the residents. In this way, further savings can be achieved without having to sacrifice comfort. Heating is provided by a gas boiler, and the installation of an intelligent system for its control allows savings of up to 30%!
Accessibility
The highlight of Loxone is the acces through the NFC Code Touch keypad, which is combined with a Nuki lock to get inside with an access code or an NFC key tag. By using the Loxone App, the user has full control over the access rights. An alarm is linked to the access system, which works hand in hand with Air Presence Sensors.
Loxone Air met all the challenges
As the integration of Loxone was started in the project’s final stages, the entire installation had to be wireless. In this case, Air technology performed perfectly! Every Loxone device connected to a permanent power source acts as a signal amplifier, which means that there are no connection problems even in the furthest corner of the apartment. Loxone offers a wide range of products that are available as Air versions, ensuring that we don’t have to make any compromises if we opt for a wireless installation.
