Actually there's a lot of things I mentioned that only Loxone can provide. Examples being knowing exactly where the sun is in the sky (and taking actions with that information); and the ability to break your HVAC system into individual zones. This is VERY real world. It is true that you could add light and occupancy sensors to a conventional control system, but the programming bill would be massive because the integrator would be starting from scratch.

Loxone does make our own pool controller but it's not applicable to US systems. We easily integrate with popular US pool controllers.

While not as old as Lutron; 10-year old Loxone is a very established and mature company. We have hundreds of thousands of active systems; 18 corporate office locations around the world. The two newest being our North American location near Philadelphia; and our China office in Shanghai.

The difference is the superior intelligence contained in a Loxone system. Other systems excel at being a CONTROL system. Loxone excels at being a AUTOMATION system. Loxone logic or smarts is absolutely a generation ahead of control systems. It's far more stable and reliable too.

You can download the Loxone app and try it out by connecting to the demo system in London we set up. This will allow you to test drive the app.
