The way we interact with our homes is changing. Touchscreen home automation brings control of lighting, climate, audio, shading, and security into a single, intuitive interface. But with Loxone, touchscreens are only one part of a bigger story—where automation does the heavy lifting in the background, and touch control becomes a seamless extension of your lifestyle.
From wall-mounted screens that provide full-home visualization, to Touch Pure multifunction switches that replace a cluster of buttons with one elegant control, and Surface Touch panels designed for kitchens, baths, or outdoor areas—Loxone offers options that fit every space and aesthetic. The result is a home that not only thinks for you, but also gives you effortless ways to take control when you want it.

What Is Touchscreen Home Automation?
Touchscreen home automation is the use of wall-mounted panels, tablets, or multifunction touch devices to control your smart home. Instead of juggling multiple apps or cluttered walls filled with switches, a touchscreen interface brings everything together in one place.
With a glance or a tap, you can adjust lighting, shading, heating and cooling, audio, or security, all from a single point of control. It’s more than convenience—it’s about creating a central hub where technology blends seamlessly into daily life.
What sets Loxone apart is that touchscreens aren’t the only answer. In a Loxone-powered home, automation works in the background, while touch devices—whether full visualization screens, sleek multifunction switches, or splash-proof panels—provide effortless manual control when you need it.
Loxone Touch Pure — More Than a Switch
While many smart homes rely on a cluster of switches for different functions, Loxone simplifies control with the Touch Pure. It’s not just a switch—it’s a multifunction control device designed to minimize wall clutter while maximizing usability.
One Touch, Many Functions → Control lighting, shading, audio, and climate from a single sleek interface.
Built-In Intelligence → Integrated temperature and humidity sensors add comfort control without extra devices.
Design Options → Available in multiple finishes, from practical to premium glass with fingerprint-resistant coatings, making it adaptable for any room’s aesthetic.
Scene Control → With just a tap, activate complex scenarios like Movie Night or Good Morning.
The Touch Pure blends seamlessly into your interiors, replacing a wall of switches with one elegant solution. It’s proof that smart design doesn’t just automate your home—it refines it.
Loxone Surface Touch — Control for Challenging Spaces
Some areas of the home need controls that can handle more than just daily use. Kitchens, bathrooms, and even outdoor spaces often present challenges with water, steam, or dirt. That’s where the Loxone Surface Touch excels.
Durable & Splash-Resistant → Designed to function reliably even in wet or messy environments.
Easy to Clean → A smooth surface makes it simple to wipe down after cooking or cleaning.
Full Manual Control → Offers the same intuitive interaction as Touch Pure, giving you access to lighting, audio, shading, or climate—right where you need it most.
The Surface Touch proves that automation doesn’t have to stay in “safe” areas of the home. With thoughtful design, manual control is available in every space—whether you’re rinsing dishes, stepping out of the shower, or relaxing on a patio.
Benefits of Touchscreen Home Automation
Adding touchscreen home automation to your living space goes beyond convenience—it’s about creating a smarter, more seamless interaction with your home. With Loxone, touchscreens, multifunction switches, and surface controls are all part of a design that adapts to your lifestyle.
Centralized Control → Manage lighting, shading, climate, security, and audio from one elegant interface.
Scene Simplicity → Trigger complex routines like Goodnight or Party Mode with a single tap.
Design Harmony → Reduce wall clutter by replacing multiple switches with sleek Touch Pure devices in finishes that suit your interiors.
Flexible Options → From full wall-mounted screens to splash-proof panels, each room can have the right balance of automation and manual control.
User-Friendly → Interfaces are intuitive for every member of the household—technology stays hidden, while the experience feels natural.
In a Loxone-powered home, touchscreens are not about adding complexity—they’re about making control effortless when you want it, and invisible when you don’t.
Why Loxone Is Different
Many platforms treat touchscreen home automation as the centerpiece, making control the focus. Loxone takes a different approach—automation comes first, and touchscreens are simply one of several elegant ways to interact when you want to.
Automation-First Philosophy → Loxone doesn’t just give you more buttons to press. Lights adjust automatically, shading responds to the sun, and climate adapts on its own. Touchscreens complement this intelligence, they don’t replace it.
Local-First Reliability → Your home stays secure and functional even if the internet goes down. No cloud dependency, no interruptions.
Future-Proof Platform → With 85% of features driven by software and Loxone’s Tree wiring for easy expansion, your system evolves as technology advances.
Complete Ecosystem → Unlike pieced-together solutions, Loxone integrates lighting, audio, shading, HVAC, security, energy, and more—all accessible through touchscreens, switches, or no-touch automation.
Where other systems lean on control, Loxone builds a home that thinks for you. Touchscreens become a natural, design-forward extension of that intelligence.
Loxone and Heyo Smart
When people think about smart homes, names like Control4, Savant, Crestron, or Nice often come up. These platforms are built around control: remotes, apps, and touchscreens that let you turn devices on and off. But true smart living isn’t about pressing more buttons — it’s about a home that knows what to do without asking.
No Fees, No Locks
With many traditional platforms, ongoing service fees, cloud dependencies, and license costs are part of the package. Loxone is different: there are no recurring license fees, no required cloud connection, and no vendor lock-in. Your system runs locally on the Loxone Miniserver, ensuring reliability, privacy, and independence.
Control vs. Automation
Control4, Savant, Crestron, and Nice focus on control — remotes, touchscreens, and apps. But control is still manual. Loxone provides the technology foundation for true automation, where lighting, shading, climate, and energy systems work intelligently in the background.
Heyo Smart takes Loxone’s powerful and flexible platform and engineers the automation logic, tailor the system to your property, and creates an ecosystem that adapts to your lifestyle — something off-the-shelf solutions can’t deliver.
One Complete Ecosystem
Other systems often require stitching together separate brands for lighting, climate, shading, and energy management. Loxone is a complete ecosystem, integrating all of these functions into one platform. Paired with Heyo Smart’s design-first process, that means fewer headaches, fewer apps, and one seamless experience across your home or property.
Heyo Smart Advantage
Where most integrators act as installers, Heyo Smart acts as a technology architect. We design every detail of the automation ecosystem so that it supports your lifestyle — not the other way around. With nationwide design services, expert programming, and local installation partners, Heyo Smart ensures your home or building is not only smarter today but ready for tomorrow’s technology.
Final Thoughts — Smarter Control, Better Living
Touchscreen home automation isn’t about adding gadgets to your walls — it’s about finding the right balance between invisible intelligence and elegant manual control. With Loxone, that balance is seamless. Automation runs quietly in the background, while touchscreens, Touch Pure switches, and Surface Touch panels give you effortless control exactly when and where you want it.
Heyo Smart designs systems that don’t overwhelm with complexity. We create automation that works without constant input — unless you decide it’s time for party mode tonight. The result is a home that feels intuitive, comfortable, and future-ready. Whether you prefer a central wall-mounted screen in the living room, discreet Touch Pure controls in the bedroom, or a splash-proof Surface Touch in the kitchen, every detail is tailored to your lifestyle.
The best smart homes aren’t filled with the most screens — they’re the ones that work beautifully, quietly, and effortlessly for you. Start your project with Heyo Smart design today.
