NEW: Config & App 15
The new Loxone Config & App 15 further improves the most powerful software for home and building automation on the market. Learn everything about the new features in the areas of energy, audio, lighting, access and more in this blog.
Find out all about the new Config & App 15 in the following video
01 Improved Wallbox Module
Intelligent use of surplus power from photovoltaic systems, implementation of individual charging modes, avoidance of load peaks and much more is now made possible at the wallbox module – which has now been given new price inputs.
Up to 5 different charging modes can be created with different prices per kW, as well as a separate kilowatt price for a manual charging mode with individual charging power – which can be set via the Loxone app.
02 Improved Wallbox Manager
If several wallboxes are used in a network, buildings and cables require special protection against overloading. The Wallbox Manager module was developed for exactly this purpose – limiting loads, intelligently distributing energy and surplus to several wallboxes and can also be used to implement different charging modes.
With Config 15, the Wallbox Manager module has been further improved by allowing the distribution of energy from wallboxes that are connected but not actively charging to other wallboxes.
03 Improved Energy Flow Monitor
The improved energy flow monitor clearly displays consumers, generators, storage, and the grid – making energy flows visible and easy to read. With the new update, the energy flow monitor also becomes part of the Automatic Designer in the app. Conditions for grid electricity, self-generated electricity, and more is supported. This means that you can program your own logic via the app and the Automatic Designer using the energy flow monitor.
The energy flow monitor has also become part of Auto Config, making it even easier to use in home and building automation with Loxone. An energy flow monitor can now be created via the Auto Config, while meters and power supply & backup can also be added and set accordingly.
04 Audio
The history in the Loxone app is an important tool for understanding processes in the building ever better iterations. For example, why is the shade moving or is the light on? Were the processes triggered by logic or manually by a user?
This history is now also available for the audio player with Config & App 15.
05 New: Soundsuit Integration
With Config & App 15, the Soundsuit streaming service has been implemented, which enables music to be streamed legally in commercial areas such as restaurants, hotels, stores, and much more. Soundsuit also affords the unique ability to tailor music precisely to your target group. Soundsuit can also be used to easily manage several locations or branches from a single point.
06 New: Exosphere
Exosphere is an innovative cloud application specifically designed for Loxone partners with multiple installations and those who handle the facility management of large and distributed building installations. It is the central point for visualizing and controlling all your Miniservers, enabling unprecedented efficiency in terms of management, monitoring, and maintenance.
07 New: DALI2 for DALI Extension
Our DALI extensions are now also certified for DALI 2, which has been implemented on the software side with Config 15. This means that DALI2 sensors such as presence detectors or similar can now also be integrated seemlessly. Delivery of the DALI2-certified DALI Extensions will begin shortly.
08 New: Deactivation of Password Reset
The deactivation of the password reset, which prevents the admin password from being reset, ensures even more security in your projects. The password can then no longer be reset if the SD card of the Miniserver is removed, connected to the PC, and reset via the Loxone Config.
-09 New: Authorization Parameters for NFC
With Loxone, you can realize secure and uncomplicated access to your building – and with even more flexibly thanks to Config 15. With the NFC Code Touch, access can be granted either via NFC or a code – or both via two-factor authentication. In the future, you will also be able to activate this as a parameter via a separate input on the NFC module, for example for different operating times.
Practical example: In an office, simple authentication is sufficient during operating hours; outside these hours, two-factor authentication is required. This can be easily implemented by combining the NFC module with the time switch module.
