Smart home security should do more than send a door alert to your phone—it should give you true peace of mind, whether you're relaxing at home or traveling halfway across the world. With modern systems like Loxone, homeowners finally have the flexibility to choose how they monitor their homes: — Handle alerts yourself through the Loxone app, — Or integrate your security system with a professional 24/7 monitoring service that responds when you can’t.
At Heyo Smart, we design smart home security systems that adapt to your life. Whether you want complete control in your hands or the backup of trained professionals, your system protects your home inside and out—quietly, efficiently, and reliably. Because great security isn’t just about locks and cameras—it’s about knowing your home is protected, no matter where you are.

What Is Smart Home Security with Monitoring?
In the past, home security meant hoping your alarm would scare someone off—or waiting for a monitoring company to call you after something already happened. But today’s smart home security puts you in control from the start.
With systems like Loxone, your home quietly watches over itself—alerting you to the things that matter, whether you’re cooking dinner, on vacation, or asleep upstairs. And it’s not just about burglars. Your smart home keeps an eye on the unexpected:
A window left open on a rainy night.
A water leak starting in the laundry room.
A motion sensor tripped in the backyard.
Smoke detected in the kitchen while you're away.
And when something does happen? Smart scenes spring into action automatically. Lights flash, doors lock, shades rise, and HVAC shuts down—all before you’ve even checked your phone.
Best of all, you choose how your home keeps watch. With self-monitoring, you get instant alerts through the Loxone app. Or, for extra peace of mind, you can integrate your system with a professional monitoring service to have a trained response team ready 24/7.
Smart home security with monitoring means your home doesn’t just protect itself—it keeps you connected, no matter where you are.
Self-Monitoring with the Loxone App
For many homeowners, smart home security starts with staying in control yourself—and the Loxone App makes that effortless. With no monthly fees and fully local processing, your home stays protected whether you're home, at work, or traveling abroad.
Using the Loxone App and built-in automation, you can:
Get real-time notifications when doors open, motion is detected, or water leaks occur—even while on vacation.
Check your home’s status remotely: make sure your doors are locked and security scenes are active when you’re away from home.
Arm and disarm your security system as you leave for the airport or return from a trip.
And because you won’t always be checking your phone, Loxone makes sure your home keeps protecting itself:
Automatically calls or texts family, friends, or trusted neighbors when something happens while you're traveling.
Sends smart alerts via Telegram messaging app, perfect when you’re in another country with limited cellular service.
Triggers smart scenes—flashing lights, locking doors, sounding alarms—to deter threats before they escalate.
Can notify local first responders or private contacts when paired with external systems.
Even if your Wi-Fi goes down while you're on vacation, Loxone’s local intelligence keeps your home safe. Whether you're on a weekend getaway or an international trip, your home never stops watching over itself—quietly, reliably, and intelligently.
Integrating Loxone with 3rd-Party Monitoring Services
For homeowners who want extra peace of mind—especially during long trips or when managing a second home—Loxone smart security systems can be integrated with professional 24/7 monitoring services. This means your home doesn’t just notify you, it can alert trained responders who act when you can’t.
Loxone’s versatile architecture makes this possible through:
Relay outputs or IP interfaces that communicate with industry-standard alarm monitoring stations.
KNX integration for compatibility with a wide range of professional monitoring platforms.
Secure, automated alerts to monitoring centers for immediate dispatch of responders.
With 3rd-party monitoring, your Loxone system handles the local automation—lights, locks, climate, and alerts—while a professional monitoring team handles the human response when you’re asleep, busy, or out of reach while traveling.
This dual approach creates a smarter, more resilient security system that keeps your home protected whether you’re at home, on vacation, or managing a rental or vacation property remotely.
Which Monitoring Option is Right for You?
The beauty of smart home security with Loxone is choice. You decide how your home is protected—whether you prefer to stay hands-on or let the professionals take over when life gets busy.
Self-Monitoring:
Perfect for homeowners who enjoy staying connected to their space. Ideal for:
Daily routines and weekends away.
Travelers who want real-time app notifications and custom alerts.
Those who prefer no monthly fees and full control from the Loxone App or Telegram.
3rd-Party Monitoring:
A smart choice for:
Families who want professional backup while on vacation or asleep.
Owners of vacation homes or rental properties needing 24/7 oversight.
Anyone who values fast, human-led response during emergencies.
The Hybrid Approach:
Why choose just one? Many Heyo Smart clients self-monitor during everyday life but enable professional monitoring when traveling internationally or during extended trips. Your system can shift seamlessly between self-monitoring and 24/7 coverage.
Smart home security should fit your lifestyle—not the other way around.
