For most homeowners, smart security starts and ends at the front door—with a video doorbell, a smart lock, and maybe an app notification when someone rings. But true smart home security protects much more than your entryway.
With advanced systems like Loxone and KNX, your entire home becomes part of a proactive security network. Every window, gate, and outdoor zone is protected by smart sensors and automation. Your lighting, climate, and even energy systems respond automatically during emergencies—whether it's a break-in, a fire, or a water leak.
At Heyo Smart, we design security systems that don’t just lock your doors—they protect your whole home, inside and out. By combining Loxone’s intelligent automation with KNX’s open-standard versatility, we create smart home security systems that safeguard what matters most, wherever the threat may be.

Security for Every Entry, Not Just the Front Door
Smart security should extend beyond the front porch. With Loxone and KNX, your home’s entire perimeter becomes a protected zone—monitored, controlled, and ready to respond.
Windows and Secondary Doors: Smart contact sensors detect if a window or side door is opened unexpectedly, triggering notifications, alarms, or lighting scenes.
Garages and Gates: Automate garage doors and property gates with smart access control, motion detection, and automatic closing.
Outdoor Spaces: Install motion detectors and presence sensors along driveways, walkways, and backyards. Lights illuminate when someone approaches, and alerts notify you instantly—whether you’re home or away.
Loxone’s scene-based automation lets your home react in real time. For example, when a sensor is triggered, pathway lighting turns on, cameras activate, and security shutters lock down vulnerable areas.
KNX seamlessly integrates with these security devices, creating a single smart home security system that manages all access points without the need for multiple apps or disconnected devices.
Environmental Safety: Fire, Water, and Energy Alerts
True smart home security protects your home from more than intruders. With Loxone and KNX, your home monitors for environmental dangers and responds instantly—whether you're there or not.
Fire & Smoke Detection: Integrated smoke and CO detectors trigger smart scenes that turn on lights, sound alarms, unlock doors, and notify you and emergency contacts. Your HVAC system can even shut down to slow the spread of smoke.
Water Leak Protection: Flood sensors placed in bathrooms, kitchens, and mechanical rooms detect leaks early. Loxone automatically shuts off water valves, preventing major damage before it happens.
Energy Fault Monitoring: Monitor critical appliances, electrical panels, and energy use for abnormal patterns. If a system failure or electrical fault is detected, your home alerts you immediately and takes pre-programmed safety actions.
Unlike standalone devices, these safety systems are part of your whole-home automation, creating a seamless response that protects your home from multiple threats—not just break-ins.
Smart Scenes That Respond to Security Events
A smart home security system shouldn’t just sound an alarm—it should coordinate your entire home’s response. With Loxone and KNX, security events trigger automated scenes that enhance safety, visibility, and awareness.
Lighting That Guides and Warns: When an alarm is triggered, exterior lights flash to alert neighbors and responders, while interior pathway lights guide your family safely to exits.
Climate and Energy Adjustments: HVAC systems can shut off during a fire to slow smoke circulation, while non-essential circuits or appliances power down to prevent further risk.
Shades and Blinds for Visibility: Security shutters or blinds can raise or lower automatically—either to give emergency access or to shield interiors from view during a breach.
Whether it’s a burglary attempt, a fire alarm, or a leak detection, your home responds as a coordinated system—not isolated devices acting alone. Everything works together to protect your space and your family.
Remote Monitoring and Local Control with Loxone & KNX
Modern smart home security doesn’t mean sacrificing privacy for convenience. With Loxone and KNX, your system offers the best of both worlds: remote monitoring when you need it and local control for peace of mind.
Remote Access Anywhere: Check door locks, view camera feeds, or receive security alerts on your smartphone or tablet—whether you're across town or across the world.
Local Processing for Reliability: Unlike cloud-dependent systems, Loxone and KNX process your automation locally. Even if your internet is down, your lights, locks, alarms, and scenes still function.
Secure Control Options: Use touch panels, physical buttons, or mobile apps to arm or disarm your system, trigger emergency scenes, or adjust lighting and HVAC during a security event.
This combination of always-available remote access and secure, reliable local automation means your home stays protected 24/7—whether you’re home, at work, or on vacation.
