If you're searching for a Loxone installer in the Netherlands, you're probably building or renovating a home and want it done right. Smart home automation isn't about gimmicks — it's about comfort, efficiency, and control that works without a monthly subscription or a cloud dependency.
We're NexLine, a Loxone-certified installation partner serving homeowners and businesses across the Netherlands and Portugal. Based in Nijmegen, we work throughout the country — from Amsterdam to Utrecht, Eindhoven to Maastricht.
This article covers what a professional Loxone installation actually involves, what you can expect from a certified partner, and how to tell if your project is a good fit.
What Is a Loxone Smart Home?
Loxone is an Austrian home automation platform built around a central Miniserver — a compact computer that runs all logic locally, without cloud dependency. It controls lighting, heating, blinds, security, audio, and more through a unified system.
Unlike consumer brands (Philips Hue, Google Nest) that each require their own app and account, Loxone brings everything under one roof. One interface. One system. One certified installer to set it up and support it.
The system is modular — you start with what you need and expand later. A typical installation covers some or all of these areas:
- Lighting control — dimmers, scenes, presence-based automation, RGBW strips
- Heating & climate — room-by-room temperature control, smart radiator valves, underfloor heating
- Blinds & shading — motorized blinds, curtains, exterior awnings with sun tracking
- Security & access — smart locks, motion sensors, door/window contacts, alarm, camera integration
- Multi-room audio — whole-home audio distribution with zone control
- Voice control — local voice AI that never sends data to the cloud
Why Work with a Certified Loxone Partner
Loxone doesn't sell directly to homeowners. The system is installed exclusively through certified partners who complete official training and follow manufacturer best practices. Working with a certified partner means:
- Proper design — your system is engineered for your specific home, not assembled from a box
- Genuine hardware — no counterfeits, no grey-market components, full warranty
- Professional programming — Loxone Config software requires real expertise to use well
- Ongoing support — you have someone to call when something needs adjustment or expansion
The Installation Process — Step by Step
Every project is different, but a typical Loxone installation follows the same structure. Here's what you can expect when you work with us.
1. Consultation & Site Assessment
We start with a conversation about your needs. What matters most to you? Energy savings? Convenience? Security? We visit your home or meet online to assess the space, existing wiring, and your goals. This takes 1-2 hours and there's no commitment.
2. System Design & Quotation
Based on the assessment, we design a system tailored to your home. We specify every component — Miniserver, extensions, dimmers, sensors, actuators, touch panels — and provide a fixed-price quotation. No surprises.
3. Pre-Wiring (New Builds) or Installation (Existing Homes)
For new builds, we coordinate with the electrician to ensure the right cabling is in place (CAT6, KNX bus, speaker wire). For existing homes, we use Loxone Air (wireless) or Tree (1-wire bus) to minimize disruption. Most installations take 3-10 days.
4. Programming & Configuration
This is where the magic happens. We program scenes (e.g., "Good Morning" — blinds up, lights gradually brighten, heating adjusts), automations (lights follow you room to room), and schedules. We optimize for energy efficiency and ease of use.
5. Testing, Training & Handover
We test every function, walk you through the system, and make sure you're comfortable. You get the Loxone App on your phone, touch panels configured, and documentation for your system. After handover, we remain available for support, adjustments, and future expansions.
Loxone vs Other Smart Home Systems
How does Loxone compare to other professional automation platforms available in the Netherlands? Here's a quick overview.
| System | Best For | Local Control | Complexity | Cost Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loxone | Homes, small commercial | ✅ Full local | Low (drag & drop) | €€ |
| KNX | Large homes, commercial | ✅ Full local | High (ETS tool) | €€€ |
| Crestron | Luxury, commercial | ✅ Local option | High | €€€€ |
| Homey / Fibaro | DIY enthusiasts | ❌ Cloud hybrid | Medium | € |
| Philips Hue / Google Nest | Single-room, basic | ❌ Cloud required | Low | € |
Loxone hits the sweet spot: professional-grade reliability at a significantly lower installed cost than KNX or Crestron, without the cloud dependency of consumer platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where in the Netherlands do you offer Loxone installation?
We serve the entire Netherlands and Portugal. Our base is in Nijmegen, but we work throughout the country — Amsterdam, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, and all surrounding regions. We assess every project remotely first and visit in person for the installation phase.
Can I add voice control to my Loxone installation?
Yes. We integrate local voice control that runs entirely on-device — no cloud, no subscriptions, no data leaving your home. It works with Loxone's API to control lights, climate, blinds, and audio through natural speech. Response times are under 500ms.
Can Loxone be installed in an existing home without renovation?
Absolutely. Loxone Air (wireless) and Tree (1-wire bus) are designed for retrofit installations. Wireless dimmers, battery-powered sensors, and radio-based components mean most homes can be automated without opening walls. Pre-wired new builds still get the best results.
How does Loxone compare to Home Assistant or DIY solutions?
Home Assistant is a powerful hobbyist platform — it requires ongoing maintenance, troubleshooting, and technical knowledge to keep running. Loxone is a professional system designed to be installed once and work reliably for years. You trade flexibility (DIY) for reliability (turnkey). Most homeowners prefer the latter.
