Loxone Air sensors: wireless expansion without new cabling

If your home is already finished and running new cables isn't realistic, Loxone Air sensors add automation wirelessly — battery-powered, through the Miniserver.

How it works

How it works

01

Pick your sensor type

The Air range typically includes window/door, motion, and temperature sensors — choose based on what the room actually needs.

02

Add an Air extension

An Air extension module connects to the Miniserver via Loxone Link — it's the wireless bridge between sensors and controller.

03

Pair via Loxone Config

Sensors are added to the system with the free Loxone Config software — a visual, function-block programming environment.

04

Check signal and placement

Before final mounting, confirm the signal reaches the Miniserver from the chosen spot — thick walls can weaken it.

Why Air, not always Tree

Why Air, not always Tree

0 new cables

No walls to open up

Air sensors run on batteries and talk wirelessly, so nothing needs to be wired to each device.

Air — wireless and battery-powered

Communicates with the Miniserver through an Air extension; ideal for finished rooms where cabling is impractical.

Tree — one cable, power and data

The Loxone Tree bus delivers power and data over a single 4-wire cable in a tree topology — a different approach if you're wiring from scratch.

Miniserver — the brain on a DIN rail

All automation logic runs locally, so core functions don't depend on the cloud or an internet connection.

Loxone Config — free software

PC software for configuring the system with visual function blocks; partly accessible to enthusiasts too.

Air and Tree, one system

A single Miniserver can run both Air and Tree devices — choose per room, not for the whole house at once.

Options

What's typically included

Exact models and counts depend on the project — this is a general outline.

  • Miniserver — the central controller
  • Air extension module
  • Air sensors as needed (window/door, motion, temperature)
  • Loxone Config software (free)
  • Access to the certified Loxone Partner installer network
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Loxone Air and Tree?

Air is wireless and battery-powered, while Tree is a wired bus that carries both power and data over one cable. Air suits spots where running a cable is impractical.

Can Air and Tree be used in the same system?

Yes — one Miniserver can run both Air and Tree devices at once; the choice depends on the specific room, not the whole house.

Can I learn Loxone Config myself, without an installer?

Config is free and partly accessible to enthusiasts, but most Loxone products and installations go through the certified Loxone Partner network.

Does a Loxone system work without internet?

Yes — the Miniserver runs all core automation logic locally, so basic functions don't depend on the cloud.

How does Loxone differ from KNX?

Loxone is a closed, manufacturer-centric platform with its own bus, while KNX is an open international standard supported by many manufacturers.
