Work Even More Efficiently and Easily: Improved User-Friendliness in the Loxone Config
Optimized creation of rooms and pages: A new input window directly queries the most important data – for more intuitive and correct creation.
Miniserver search & firewall handling: The search for Miniservers in the network has been improved. The Config now recognizes possible sources of error in the firewall settings that affect the findability of the Miniserver.
Improved search feature using F4 and F5
Duplicate feature: Selected peripheral devices can now be duplicated: Modbus, virtual inputs and outputs, RS232, RS485, Fröling

Simpler and More Versatile
User Management
Thanks to category groups and prohibitions, the assignment of authorizations becomes even more powerful – and at the same time simpler. Category groups can be used to enable individual features, such as heating. Prohibitions allow adjustments to be made without having to create separate groups for each use case.
Saves Time:
Automatic Updates for Gateway-Client Systems
As already known from 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 Features
The Control History is already very popular for automatic shading or lighting control, for example. It is now also available for other function blocks:
- Windows
- Door Control
- Roof Window Shading
Spot Price Optimizer:
Optimally Prepared for Price Jumps
The Spot Price Optimizer receives an output for the next price. 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 have optimized the communication and were thus able 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 Valve Actuator Gen.1 for improved service life
- New API to integrate hotel software such as casablanca
Exosphere:
A New Level of User-Friendliness
As in the Loxone Config, we have paid a lot of attention to improving the user experience with our Exosphere building management system (BMS). Detailed descriptions, help texts and error messages as well as improved user guidance simplify operation enormously.
Exosphere 3 also received new features:
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 with system dashboard
- Status display for quick detection of problems
- Advanced filter and search features
- Support for multiplier programs
- Connection history
Personal Workspaces: Free Storage and Management for Everyone
- Free, license-free workspace for managing project files and access data on or with which you work alone
- Free extension of the Loxone Config with cloud storage
- Can be used immediately by logging in with the Loxone account in 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
Other
- More flexible export from 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 the service life.
