The Loxone Miniserver is the central control unit of a Loxone system. It processes logic locally without cloud dependency, connects sensors and actuators via proprietary Loxone extensions and is programmed using Loxone Config software.

Loxone Config is the free programming software for the Loxone Miniserver. Instead of assigning addresses, inputs are connected to outputs graphically via function blocks. The finished configuration is transferred to the Miniserver as a .loxone file.

A Loxone function block is a graphical logic component in Loxone Config. Inputs (pushbuttons, sensors, schedules) are connected to outputs (actuators, lights). The logic between input and output, such as dimming, delay or scenes, is handled by the function block.

Loxone Tree is the proprietary peripheral bus from Loxone that connects sensors and actuators to the Miniserver. Unlike rigid star wiring, Tree allows free topology and significantly reduces cabling effort.

Loxone Air is the wireless technology from Loxone for places where no cable can be run. Devices communicate in the 868 MHz band over a self-forming mesh and are particularly suited to retrofitting and existing buildings.

Loxone Extensions expand the Miniserver with additional inputs and outputs as well as interfaces to third-party protocols. They connect via the Loxone Link bus and make the system modular and scalable.
