Your smart home, your data.
Always Cloud-free, reliable and future-proof – a Loxone solution provides personal data protection.
We place importance on not collecting or repurposing our users’ data. This remains true from the very start. A Loxone solution for any smart home or commercial building is always Cloud-free and keeps your data safe.
Safely storing your data
In any Loxone Smart Home, your data stays where it belongs – on your Miniserver. As the “brain” of the home, it is the central device where your data is stored and processed. This sensitive data could be your personal schedule and routines, camera pictures, alarms and more.
Privacy is where many “smart” home solutions fall short. There are many problems with Cloud-based systems that may end up compromising technology and your privacy. Think about this with cameras on door intercoms, alarm systems and more.
No need to rely on internet connection
Even without the Cloud or internet connection, a Loxone Smart Home can still take care of 50,000 tasks per year on its own.
All tasks relating to security, comfort and efficiency in the home are still taken care of automatically and reliably. No matter how much you rely on the Cloud or internet in your life otherwise. Keep in mind that there are limited functions that, of course, become unavailable without internet connection (email transmission, online weather data, push notifications).
The Miniserver keeps your
personal info safe
The Loxone Miniserver distinguishes us from other manufacturers. Its registration takes place exclusively through the Miniserver itself. With other manufacturers, registration and log-in information typically handled on their side – making the log-in a central point of possible attacks. This is never an issue with Loxone.
Every building automated by Loxone is protected by both the security mechanisms of its Miniserver and by the general network security. However, this remains in the hands of the user as insecure access data will also mean insecure personal data.

Problems with Cloud-based systems
Problems with Cloud-based systems
Dependency from
manufacturer’s server
If a Cloud-based system eventually terminates, then thousands of functioning installations become unusable day by day.
A Cloud-free Loxone Smart Home is not dependent on “Loxone servers”. So existing Loxone installations always work and remain future-proof.
Private conversations
become released
Leading companies such as Amazon and Apple become guilty of it: employees listening to thousands of voice commands and then evaluating them. Even Google’s Nest devices ended up invading users’ privacy when they were unaware of microphones installed inside the devices.
Offline
availability
An obvious weakness of Cloud-based systems is the inability to work offline, or to very little extent.
With Loxone, internet connection is not required and the system remains reliable.
Here are some real examples of how a Cloud-based smart home failed its users:
- Best Buy’s Insignia Connect shutdown
(Source: The Verge) – November 6, 2019 - Google quits “Works with Nest”
(Read more on Loxone blog) – May 2019 - Iris by Lowe’s shutdown
(Source: cnet.com) – March 31, 2019

Offline and on guard
working with your privacy in mind
No Cloud, no internet, no problem in a Loxone Smart Home. The most important functions are still available offline. Only certain Online Services, such as the Weather Service, will require an internet connection. But as always, your privacy is 100% protected.
