Loxone Home and Building Automation in Malaysia

BUILDING SYSTEMS

The value of Loxone is not one individual product. It is the way building functions can share information and respond as one coordinated system.

Madoc does not approach a project as a collection of one brand’s products. We use Loxone as the automation core where appropriate, then integrate the building technologies required by the design.

Depending on the equipment and documented interfaces, Loxone can work with technologies such as KNX, DALI, Modbus and BACnet. Madoc also coordinates HVAC, motorised shading, audio, security, access and professional network systems around the needs of the project.

APPLICATIONS

Loxone has published several Madoc projects in its official international reference library.

TATLER ASIA

Tatler Asia featured a contemporary residence in Muar, Johor, designed by Bizcus Design. The publication identifies the home’s Loxone system as installed in partnership with Madoc Integration Solution, managing lighting, climate control and security from a single local platform.

Madoc’s approach to Loxone is grounded in a wider engineering philosophy. These two articles explain how we think about automation and infrastructure.

What is Loxone?

Loxone is a home and building automation platform built around the Miniserver, a local controller that reads inputs from sensors, switches and meters and drives outputs such as lighting, blinds, HVAC and audio. The logic and schedules are programmed into the Miniserver and run on the device itself, so core automation does not depend on an internet connection.

Is Loxone available in Malaysia?

Yes. Loxone hardware is used on residential and commercial projects in Malaysia. Madoc is a Loxone Gold Partner and systems integrator based in Kuala Lumpur, handling system design, programming, commissioning and ongoing support rather than hardware supply alone.

Does Loxone need the internet?

Core automation logic runs locally on the Miniserver, so configured functions such as lighting, climate and shading do not need a cloud connection to carry out their local automation. Internet connectivity is still used for services that depend on online access, such as remote access from outside the building, online weather data and notification services.

Is Loxone wired or wireless?

Both. Loxone Tree provides a wired technology for permanent building infrastructure, while Loxone Air provides wireless devices for retrofit, additions and locations where new control cabling is impractical. Madoc chooses between them according to the building and the project requirements. Our article on wired vs wireless smart homes in Malaysia explains how we make that decision.

Can Loxone integrate with KNX?

Yes. Loxone communicates with KNX devices through a KNX interface, which allows KNX sensors, actuators and room controllers to work alongside Loxone logic in the same system. Madoc used this combination at Templer Heights, where KNX and Loxone operate together as one control architecture.

Can Loxone integrate with DALI-2?

DALI and DALI-2 lighting can be brought into a Loxone system through a DALI gateway, which addresses individual drivers or luminaires and reports their status back to the controller instead of switching fixed circuits. Whether DALI-2 suits a project depends on the lighting design and the drivers specified, so Madoc assesses it as part of our building automation services rather than applying it by default.

What can Loxone integrate with?

Alongside its own hardware, Loxone can work with KNX, DALI, Modbus, DMX and other equipment that exposes a documented interface, including audio, HVAC, access control and metering devices. What is practical on any given project depends on the equipment specified and the interfaces the manufacturer publishes.
