What we deliver with Loxone.
A premium local automation backbone that ties together lighting, climate, shading and energy visibility, plus solar/EV coordination, security signals and native multi room audio.
Developments and Future Homes Standard projects.
For new build schemes, Inteto can define a repeatable Loxone control architecture across house types, coordinate suitable energy systems and provide a clearer resident handover.
Developer platform
Control strategy, interface schedule, repeatable logic, commissioning and support.
Future Homes Standard
Understand what the 2026 standards change and where an integration layer can help.
Energy management
Coordinate solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, heat pumps and selected loads where supported.
Security and resilience
Loxone is our primary platform: a closed, local automation backbone. Core automations run locally and don’t rely on the internet for everyday operation.
- Local control: lighting, climate and shading remain operational during outages
- Wired first: fast response times and dependable triggers
- Smaller attack surface: fewer third party cloud dependencies
We can also advise on sensible network design to keep automation separate and tidy.
Security + life safety integration
- Burglar alarms: integrate arm state, zones and triggers from graded systems (e.g., Orisec, Texecom) into lighting, announcements and notifications
- CCTV: event driven lighting, snapshot links and “who’s at the door” workflows (commonly via Hikvision or Reolink cameras/NVRs)
- Fire systems: alarm/fault monitoring via dry contacts, with agreed cause and effect where permitted
- Risk signals: leak/overheat/frost alerts and automated safe state actions
Fire integration is always designed and implemented to align with the responsible fire contractor and applicable regulations.
Open integrations
- Modbus: TCP/RTU for meters, inverters, batteries, heat pumps and plant where supported
- Relays + I/O: dependable dry contact and digital/analogue signals for legacy equipment
- IP/API: practical integrations using standard network interfaces where available
- Phased upgrades: keep what works, modernise what doesn’t
Note: Loxone includes alarm and fire functions (and dedicated devices in some markets), but in the UK it is not a substitute for a graded intruder alarm (PD 6662 / EN 50131) or a compliant fire alarm system (e.g., BS 5839). Where compliance is required, we specify appropriate third party systems and integrate status/outputs.
Existing smart home system takeover and support.
A smart property does not become disposable because the original installer is unavailable or the system has become difficult to manage. We can assess the current installation, recover documentation and access where possible, stabilise core functions and define a sensible route forward.
Existing Loxone
System review, configuration backup, fault finding, reprogramming, additions and a new support relationship.
Professional control systems
Assessment of Control4, Nice or ELAN and mixed installations, followed by support, integration or a phased move towards Loxone where appropriate.
Consumer and enthusiast setups
Home Assistant, HOOBS and mixed app based systems can be rationalised, documented and retained as supporting layers where they remain useful.
Homes
Comfort and convenience, delivered as an integrated system rather than a collection of apps.
Convenience features
- Scene buttons and whole home modes
- Night routes and “quiet hours” behaviour
- Leave/Arrive routines that coordinate multiple systems
- Guest friendly controls that make sense
Comfort + stability
- Zoned comfort strategies
- Shading tied to solar gain and glare
- Schedules that match real routines
- Simple overrides, no weird edge cases
Efficiency, explained.
Many building control issues come from runtime: systems left on too long, setpoints that are too aggressive, and no feedback when something drifts.
- Reduce runtime with schedules and occupancy logic
- Protect comfort with sensible setbacks, not extremes
- Use free energy (daylight, solar gain) where appropriate
- Make it visible with metering, dashboards and alerts
The goal is a building that runs itself and tells you when something needs attention.
Lighting control
From simple dimming to whole building scene strategy.
- Scene design and commissioning (so it looks right)
- Presence and daylight strategies that avoid nuisance
- Central switching and “all off” logic
Multi room audio (native to Loxone)
Built in as part of the platform, so music, doorbell chimes and announcements can behave like the rest of the building.
Everyday experience
- Room by room zones with simple grouping
- Streaming and local inputs (TV, line in) where required
- Wall controls that match the rest of the home
Automation value
- Voice announcements for doorbell, alarms and reminders
- Quiet hours behaviour and occupancy aware volume
- Event driven audio cues (gates, deliveries, emergency states)
If a project is AV focused (home cinema, complex video distribution), we’ll scope that separately and integrate it sensibly.
Energy visibility and control
Energy strategy that goes beyond dashboards, using real control to identify avoidable runtime and coordinate suitable loads where supported.
Solar + storage
Monitor PV generation and consumption, surface self consumption, and coordinate loads where supported (hot water, HVAC, discretionary circuits).
EV charging
Coordinate charging around selected tariff windows (including Octopus Agile where appropriate), “ready by” targets and solar surplus. Optional load management can help protect the supply.
Tariff aware control
Use time of use pricing as an automation input, including Octopus Agile half hour pricing, subject to API availability and agreed scope.
Heat pumps
Integrate air/ground source heat pumps where supported (Modbus, SG Ready, API or relay). Coordinate flow temperature targets, hot water schedules and tariff and solar aware preheat alongside the rest of the building.
Octopus Agile integration (tariff aware control)
- Use half hour prices as automation inputs (selected tariff windows and peak avoidance)
- Coordinate discretionary loads: hot water, batteries, and HVAC preheat or precool where appropriate
- Optional notifications when prices spike or go negative
Subject to Octopus API availability and agreed scope. We design safeguards so core building functions don’t depend on internet data.
Smart EV charging
- Charge to a “ready by” time using selected Agile slots based on agreed tariff rules where supported
- Solar surplus charging and priority rules (car vs battery vs hot water) where supported
- Dynamic load management to stay within supply limits and avoid nuisance trips
Exact capability depends on the charger/vehicle interface (API, Modbus, OCPP or relay control).
Heat pump control strategy is agreed during scoping and implemented alongside the responsible heat pump/MCS installer. Final capability depends on the make/model interface and commissioning requirements.
- Metering and submetering visibility (whole building, key circuits and plant)
- Out of hours, anomaly and “something’s stuck on” alerts
- Practical load shedding / priority strategies for resilience
Workplaces
A building that’s easier to run, more predictable everyday, and more comfortable.
Typical opportunities
- Out of hours shutdown routines
- Meeting room occupancy control
- Daylight responsive lighting
- HVAC setpoint governance
Operational controls
- Simple overrides for facilities teams
- Clear dashboards and alerting
- Documented handover and support
- Phased rollout where needed
