Pros
- So far I've been testing with Loxone and Raspberry Pi. Everything works great, but it would be nice to implement my own processor and Linux.
- The system described above is Loxone and it enables you to create more than one account, and you can set up access levels from basic to full admin. Ideal if you want to create control zones with wall mounted tablets in each room.
- My friend is using Loxone and he says he is super happy with it, apparently it can even learn your habits and then set it up to do it automatically daily, even when they are on holiday (good for deterring break ins?) And it was much chea...
- Loxone can easily manage HVAC systems natively, not thermostats needed, and if you want to tie in additional functionality throughout the home, the system is easily scalable.
- If you have your own home/house and have some serious money to spend, knx or loxone could be an option!
Cons
- What about alternatives to KNX (too expensive, I think) or Loxone (proprietary/closed system)?
- Parent context: That mane absolutely dense. But with the centric solution like Loxone, etc. it's not possible to have basic functions as dump. Reply: That mane absolutely dense. But with the centric solution like Loxone, etc. it's not po...
- Loxone, Lutron, etc. - proprietary, nope.
- KNX is expensive, other systems like Loxone, Control4 etc. are vendor-locked. All require professional install.
- motorized valves such as Loxone is much more expensive per valve.

But with the centric solution like Loxone, etc. it's not possible to have basic functions as dump. Moreover to have a dump layer will not allow me to switch the light off from the HA.
Loxone, Lutron, etc. - proprietary, nope.

Loxone looks expensive and complicated.
