How Loxone and Portworld Work Together

Loxone provides the control logic and system backend, while Portworld offers the front-end hardware for touch and visualization. Together, they form a complete smart home or building automation solution.

Integration examples:

Portworld control panels as Loxone HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces)
- Install the Loxone App on Portworld Android panels or use the built-in browser to access Loxone’s web interface.
- Wall-mounted displays replace or complement Loxone Touch Surfaces, offering larger screens and richer visualization.
Direct protocol connection
- Portworld hardware can connect to Loxone’s Miniserver via RS485 or Ethernet, supporting Modbus, HTTP API, and other protocols.
- For direct KNX integration, Portworld panels can include a KNX interface or connect through a gateway.
Project-based customization
- For large-scale villa or commercial projects, Loxone handles automation logic while Portworld supplies multiple sizes and designs of customized panels to fit different rooms and spaces.
Hybrid system deployment
- In mixed systems (e.g., KNX + Loxone + other brands), Portworld control panels can serve as a unified interface, consolidating control into a single touch display.
