Why Alexa and Loxone Work Perfectly Together

Universal Compatibility

Works with all Amazon Echo devices: Echo Dot, Echo Show, Echo Studio, and even Fire TV. Use any Alexa-enabled device you already own.

Natural Language

Say "Alexa, close the blinds" and they actually close. No more awkward "turn on the blinds" commands that make no sense.

Instant Response

LoxVoice's cloud technology means lightning-fast command execution. Speak and watch your home respond immediately.

Family Friendly

Everyone in your household can control the home naturally. No app learning curves or complicated interfaces.

Powerful Routines

Create Alexa routines that trigger multiple Loxone actions with a single command. "Good morning" can open blinds, adjust temperature, and turn on lights.

Voice Commands Loxone Users Love

With LoxVoice, you can use natural, intuitive voice commands to control every aspect of your Loxone smart home. Here are the most popular commands our users rely on daily.

Lighting Control Commands

"Alexa, turn on the kitchen lights"
Basic on/off control works exactly as you'd expect. Alexa instantly turns on your kitchen lights.
"Alexa, set the living room lights to 50%"
Dimming control with natural percentages. No need to say complicated brightness commands.
"Alexa, brighten the bedroom lights"
Incremental adjustments without specifying exact percentages. Alexa increases brightness by 25%.
"Alexa, turn off all the lights"
Control all lights throughout your entire home with a single command. Perfect for bedtime or leaving home.
"Alexa, turn on the downstairs lights"
Group control by floor or zone. Organize your lights in the Alexa app for easy group management.

Blinds and Shades Commands

"Alexa, close the bedroom blinds"
Finally, blinds commands that make sense! Say "close" to close them, not "turn on" like other solutions require.
"Alexa, open the living room shades"
Natural language for opening blinds or shades. LoxVoice understands both "blinds" and "shades".
"Alexa, set the office blinds to 60%"
Precise position control. Set your blinds to any percentage for perfect light control throughout the day.
"Alexa, close all the blinds"
Privacy mode activated! Close every blind in your home with one command.

Climate Control Commands

"Alexa, what's the temperature in the bedroom?"
Check the current temperature in any room. Alexa reads the temperature from your Loxone sensors.
"Alexa, set the living room to 21 degrees"
Adjust heating or cooling setpoints. Control your Loxone climate zones naturally.
"Alexa, increase the bedroom temperature"
Make incremental adjustments without knowing exact numbers. Alexa raises the temperature by 1 degree.

Scene Control and Status Queries

"Alexa, activate movie mode"
Trigger Loxone scenes with natural names. Dim lights, close blinds, and set perfect viewing conditions.
"Alexa, good morning"
Use Alexa routines to trigger complex Loxone scenes. Open blinds, turn on lights, adjust temperature—all at once.
"Alexa, are the garage doors closed?"
Security status checks. Ask Alexa about any sensor or device status in your Loxone system.
"Alexa, turn on evening mode"
Activate your evening scene with warm lighting and closed blinds for privacy and comfort.
Device Naming Tip: Use simple, memorable names for your Loxone devices. "Kitchen lights" works better than "Kitchen_Ceiling_LED_Strip_01". Alexa understands natural language best when device names match how you naturally speak.

Creating Alexa Routines for Your Loxone Home

Alexa Routines let you trigger multiple Loxone actions with a single voice command or automatically based on time, location, or other smart home events. Here are powerful routine ideas to enhance your smart home.

Advanced Alexa Features with LoxVoice

Sensor Queries

Ask Alexa about any sensor value: temperature, humidity, air quality, energy consumption, and more from your Loxone system.

Alexa Announcements

Have Alexa announce on all Echo devices when specific Loxone events occur, like doors opening or package delivery.

Multi-Room Audio

Coordinate Loxone lighting and blinds with Alexa multi-room music. Sync mood lighting with your music throughout the house.

Voice Profiles

Power User Tip: Combine Alexa routines with Loxone's built-in automation for incredibly smart behavior. Example: When Alexa detects you're home (via phone location), trigger a Loxone welcome scene that adjusts lighting, temperature, and blinds based on time of day and weather.

Troubleshooting Alexa + Loxone

Having issues? Here are solutions to the most common problems Loxone users encounter with Alexa voice control.

Alexa Says "Device is Not Responding"

This usually means Alexa can't reach your Loxone Miniserver through LoxVoice. Here's how to fix it:

Solution:
  1. Check that your Miniserver is online and accessible
  2. Verify your LoxVoice subscription is active (check dashboard)
  3. In the LoxVoice dashboard, check if your Miniserver shows "Connected" status
  4. If offline, click "Reconnect" to re-establish the connection
  5. In the Alexa app, disable and re-enable the LoxVoice skill
  6. Say "Alexa, discover devices" to refresh the connection

Prevention: Ensure your Miniserver has a stable internet connection. LoxVoice requires constant connectivity for instant command execution.

Alexa Doesn't Understand My Commands

Voice recognition issues are often related to device naming or phrasing. Follow these steps:

Solution:
  1. Open the Alexa app and check how your devices are named
  2. Rename devices in the LoxVoice dashboard to simple, common words (avoid special characters or numbers)
  3. Use names that match how you naturally speak
  4. Avoid similar-sounding names for different devices
  5. Test with simple commands: "Alexa, turn on *device name*"
  6. If Alexa still misunderstands, try alternative phrasing

Best Practice: Device names like "kitchen lights" work better than "Kitchen_LED_01". Keep names short, clear, and match your natural speech patterns.

Slow Response or Delayed Commands

If commands execute slowly, this is typically a network issue. Here's how to improve response time:

Solution:
  1. Check your home internet speed (need at least 5 Mbps upload)
  2. Ensure your Echo device has strong WiFi signal
  3. Move Echo closer to your router if signal is weak
  4. Verify your Miniserver has stable, fast internet connection
  5. Restart your router if experiencing network issues
  6. Consider upgrading to faster broadband if consistently slow

Expected Performance: With good internet, commands should execute in under 1 second. If consistently slower, contact LoxVoice support for diagnostics.

Some Devices Not Showing in Alexa

If certain Loxone devices aren't appearing in Alexa, try these steps:

Solution:
  1. In LoxVoice dashboard, verify all devices are visible and enabled
  2. Check that device categories are correctly set in your Loxone Config
  3. Some device types may not be voice-controllable (check compatibility)
  4. In Alexa app, go to Devices → All Devices to see full list
  5. Say "Alexa, discover devices" to trigger fresh discovery
  6. If still missing, disable and re-enable the LoxVoice skill

Note: LoxVoice supports lights, switches, blinds, thermostats, and sensors. Complex Loxone functions may require scene creation for voice control.

Need to Reset Everything?

If you need to start fresh, here's the complete reset process:

Complete Reset Procedure:
  1. In Alexa app, disable the LoxVoice skill completely
  2. In LoxVoice dashboard, disconnect your Miniserver
  3. Wait 2 minutes for cloud services to fully disconnect
  4. Reconnect your Miniserver in LoxVoice dashboard
  5. Re-enable the LoxVoice skill in Alexa app
  6. Say "Alexa, discover devices" for fresh device discovery
  7. Recreate any groups or routines as needed

Data Safety: Your Loxone configuration is never modified. Resetting only affects the LoxVoice connection—your smart home setup remains unchanged.
