For instance, say you have a Jandy or Pentair pool controller. Can you natively control? Does Loxone make its own pool controller?

Another example. Sure you can control your own lighting but i would be reluctant to use a relatively new company for such a vital system when Lutron had robust, reliable systems and its much more likely they will be around and support in 10-20 years.

Really just trying to understand how this is any different or just marketing spin. No offense, honestly interested. Also, to address the post below none of the aforementioned automation systems require internet connection either.
Do you work for or with Loxone because I agree with rad doc, your post reaks of marketing.
He mentioned working for Loxone. I don't have a problem with that if I can get some good info on what the system provides. At least for now, it just seems like the same tech with a bunch of marketing spin. Maybe even less useful if no good integration with 3rd parties.
