Smart Home Control Panel: How to Use iPads and Tablets with Loxone

The Power of a Central Smart Home Control Panel

In a world where voice commands and apps dominate, the humble wall-mounted control panel still holds its ground—and for good reason. When done right, a smart home control panel isn’t just a screen on a wall; it’s a central command station that ties together your entire living experience.

With Loxone automation, iPads and Android tablets become more than casual gadgets—they transform into sleek, intuitive hubs that control lighting, music, climate, access, and more. Whether flush-mounted in the hallway or floating on a countertop, these tablets provide instant access to your smart home’s most vital functions—with the power and polish you’d expect from a luxury automation platform.

And when designed and installed by professionals like Heyo Smart, these panels blend seamlessly into your home’s aesthetics—offering complete control without clutter or complexity.

What Makes a Smart Home Control Panel “Smart”?

Not all screens are created equal. A smart home control panel goes beyond displaying information—it gives you secure, real-time access to your entire home automation system. With Loxone, the panel becomes an intelligent interface that understands your routines, displays relevant functions, and executes complex scenes with a single touch.

Rather than relying on scattered apps or disconnected remotes, a true smart control panel brings everything together in one place. From lighting scenes and thermostat adjustments to multi-room audio and surveillance feeds, your tablet becomes the heartbeat of the home—providing total visibility and effortless control, wherever it's mounted.

With the Loxone App at its core, your tablet doesn’t just operate devices—it orchestrates your lifestyle.

Why Tablets Work So Well with Loxone

A tablet may seem like an everyday device, but in the world of Loxone automation, it becomes a powerful, flexible control surface. Whether you choose an iPad or Android device, tablets pair beautifully with the Loxone App, delivering a smooth, intuitive interface that’s always up to date.

Why are they such a great fit? First, they’re affordable and easy to replace or upgrade. Second, their large touchscreens provide excellent visibility—ideal for controlling lighting scenes, adjusting climate zones, or viewing camera feeds. Most importantly, tablets offer a consistent, secure way to interact with your smart home from a single location.

With support for secure remote access, PIN-protected lock screens, and visual feedback on every action, a wall-mounted tablet becomes more than a screen—it becomes a trusted control panel designed for how you live.

Mounting Matters: Choosing the Right Wall Mount or Docking Station

The elegance of a smart home control panel depends not only on what’s displayed—but how it’s presented. Mounting your iPad or tablet with intention transforms it from a casual device into a design-forward command center.

Flush-mount options offer a built-in look that aligns with modern interiors—perfect for kitchens, hallways, and living spaces. Surface mounts provide easier access and installation, ideal for retrofits or temporary stations. Magnetic and docking solutions allow for removable use, offering the flexibility to pop the tablet off the wall when needed.

For Loxone systems, the right mount enhances both the aesthetics and usability of your smart home control panel—making it an integral part of the environment, not just another device on the wall. And when professionally installed by Heyo Smart, it blends seamlessly into your space.

Permanent vs. Portable: Is It Your Main Panel or Just One of Many?

One of the greatest strengths of a tablet-based smart home control panel is flexibility. But not every panel serves the same purpose—and that’s where good planning comes in.

A wall-mounted iPad in the main hallway may act as your central hub—always powered, always accessible, and beautifully integrated. Meanwhile, a second tablet in the kitchen might focus on lighting and music, and another in the bedroom could control scenes for relaxation or bedtime.

With Loxone, every tablet running the app becomes a part of the same unified system. Whether fixed or portable, each one offers consistent access to lighting, security, climate, entertainment, and more—all tailored to its location and your needs.

That’s the power of whole-home control: freedom to interact with your space, your way.

The Loxone App: Power, Simplicity, and Custom Scenes at Your Fingertips

At the heart of every Loxone-powered smart home control panel is the Loxone App—a fast, elegant interface designed to give you complete control over your home in just a few taps.

Whether on an iPad or Android tablet, the app delivers real-time access to lighting, climate, shading, music, security, and energy management. But what truly sets it apart is its ability to run custom scenes. With a single tap, you can trigger complex routines—like “Good Morning,” “Away Mode,” or “Movie Night”—that adjust multiple systems in perfect harmony.

The app is lightning-fast, beautifully designed, and tailored to your home’s exact setup. And because it’s part of the Loxone ecosystem, it never relies on the cloud—ensuring your control is always secure and immediate, even without internet.

It’s not just a remote—it’s the brain of your smart home, made beautifully accessible.
