- Using Matter and Loxone devices together in 1Home Automations
- Bringing Matter devices into Loxone app and controlling them from there
Connecting Matter devices to 1Home Dashboard
Adding Matter devices to the 1Home Dashboard is very similar to adding Loxone devices. In your 1Home Dashboard, click on the "Add Device" button, and select the "Matter" option. You will be presented with two connection options:
The Device Is New - Choose this option if your Matter device is "out-of-the-box", and hasn't been configured and connected to any network or system yet. You will be prompted to connect the device via the 1Home Mobile App.
The Device Is Connected To Another Ecosystem - Choose this option if your Matter device is already connected to your local network and to a smart home ecosystem (for example Apple Home, Google Home, etc.).
Once imported, you can use your Matter devices in the 1Home Dashboard as you would Loxone devices.
Using Matter and Loxone devices together in 1Home Automations
1Home Matter Controller unlocks a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to automating your Loxone home. The automation example in the video uses a Matter pushbutton to trigger actions which include a Nuki Smart Lock, Nanoleaf LED Strip, Loxone Blinds, Philips Hue Lights, and Eve Smart Plug.
Controlling Matter devices directly from the Loxone App
1Home Server with 1Home Matter Controller also enables you to view and control Matter devices in your Loxone app.
