Security & Access Control
Always aware
Monitor doors, windows, movement and other configured security points around your home.
Intelligent access
Manage entrances for family, guests and authorised visitors without relying solely on traditional keys.
Automatic protection
Security functions can respond automatically when you leave or return home.
Connected response
Use lighting, shading, audio and notifications as part of configured security events.
One system
Bring security and access into the same intelligent ecosystem as the rest of your home.
Security & Access Control
Can security activate automatically when I leave?
Yes. Depending on the configuration, security functions can form part of a wider departure routine alongside lighting, climate, audio and other connected systems.
Can I see whether a door or window has been left open?
Yes, where appropriate contacts are installed. The system can use the state of monitored doors and windows within both security and other automation functions.
Can I give different people different access?
Yes. Access permissions can be configured for different users or groups according to the selected access-control setup.
Can I give someone temporary access?
Depending on the configuration, access can be created around specific users and appropriate time periods, making it useful for guests, cleaners or service providers.
Can the system make my home appear occupied while I'm away?
Lighting and shading can be configured to create activity while the property is unoccupied. This should be considered one part of a wider security strategy rather than a guarantee against intrusion.
Can cameras be integrated?
Integration possibilities depend heavily on the particular camera, system and available interface. DY-Techniek can assess compatible equipment during project planning.
Does the security system require internet?
Core Loxone automation is processed locally, so many configured local functions don’t depend on a continuous internet connection. Remote access and other online-dependent functionality may require connectivity.
Protection built into your home
Traditional security often operates separately from the rest of the property. Intelligent security takes a different approach.
Sensors, doors, windows, access control and other compatible technologies can share information with the wider automation system, allowing your home to understand its current state and respond appropriately.
When you leave, configured security functions can activate as part of the same routine that switches off unnecessary lighting, adjusts climate and stops audio.
When you return, authorised access can trigger a completely different response.
One home. One connected approach to protection.
Intelligence behind your protection
Your home understands what's happening.
Security becomes more useful when different parts of the property can communicate.
Loxone can bring information from presence sensors, door and window contacts, access controls and compatible connected technologies together to determine how your home should respond.
- Understand activity within monitored areas.
- Know the status of configured doors and windows.
- Determine when authorised users interact with controlled entrances.
- Apply different behaviour depending on whether the property is occupied or away.
- Coordinate security with lighting, shading, audio and other connected systems.
Presence & intrusion detection
The sensors already understand movement.
Presence detection is useful for far more than switching lights on.
When your home is occupied, sensors can help automate lighting and climate. When the property is placed into an appropriate security state, configured sensors can contribute to detecting unexpected activity.
The same infrastructure can therefore support both everyday comfort and home security.
Everyday presence
Allow rooms to respond naturally when they’re occupied.
Away detection
Use configured sensors as part of the property’s security strategy when appropriate.
Zoned monitoring
Create different responses for different areas of the home.
Connected reactions
Trigger configured lighting, audio or notifications when an event requires attention.
Doors & windows
Your home shouldn't have to guess.
Door and window contacts provide the automation system with valuable information about the physical state of your property.
This information can be used for security while also supporting other intelligent functions.
Door monitoring
Know whether configured external doors are open or closed.
Window monitoring
Identify windows that remain open when they shouldn’t be.
Security status
Include monitored openings within configured security functions.
Climate integration
Avoid heating or cooling inefficiently when relevant windows or doors are open.
Intelligent access control
Access without relying on a traditional key.
Intelligent access control gives you greater flexibility over who can enter your property and when.
Depending on the installation, authorised users can be provided with suitable access methods while permissions can be managed through the wider system.
Family
Provide convenient everyday access for household members.
Guests
Create appropriate access for regular or temporary visitors.
Services
Provide controlled access for cleaners, maintenance personnel or other authorised people.
Individual permissions
Configure different access rights according to the needs of individual users or groups.
Time-based access
Where appropriate, permissions can be restricted to particular periods.
More than unlocking a door
Your home can respond to who's arriving.
This is where integrated access becomes considerably more powerful than a standalone keypad.
A configured arrival can trigger a sequence appropriate to the property.
Arriving home
Access authorised
The appropriate entrance opens.
↓
Security
Relevant security functions change state.
↓
Lighting
A welcome lighting scene can activate where required.
↓
Climate
The home continues or returns to its configured occupied behaviour.
↓
Audio
Selected home functions can respond according to the programmed routine.
Intercom & visitor access
Know who's at the door
Access control isn’t only about household members. Visitors, deliveries and unexpected callers also need to be considered.
Compatible door-entry and intercom technology can form part of the wider intelligent-home system, giving you a more coordinated approach to entrances.
Depending on the selected equipment and configuration, the system can support functions such as:
Visitor notification
Know when someone is requesting access.
Communication
Use compatible intercom technology to communicate with visitors.
Remote interaction
Manage supported access functions through appropriate interfaces where configured.
Connected entrances
Coordinate pedestrian gates, doors and other suitable entry points within the access system.
More than intrusion
Some of the biggest risks start inside the home.
An intelligent security strategy can extend beyond intrusion and access.
With appropriate sensors and equipment, automation can respond to other potentially damaging events around the property.
Smoke & fire
Compatible detection can trigger configured alarms and other automated responses.
Water leaks
Suitable sensors can detect water where it shouldn’t be and initiate configured actions.
Temperature
Monitor important areas where abnormal conditions could indicate a problem.
Technical alerts
Selected connected systems can report conditions that require attention.
The exact functionality depends on the detection and protection equipment incorporated into the project.
Loxone technology
Technology working quietly in the background.
DY-Techniek combines appropriate Loxone technology with the infrastructure and compatible equipment required for each property.
Miniserver
Provides the central intelligence connecting security with the rest of the home.
Presence Sensor
Supports everyday automation and can contribute presence information to configured security functions.
NFC Code Touch
Provides code and NFC-based interaction for suitable access-control applications.
Door & window contacts
Provide information about the state of monitored openings.
Touch controls
Provide intuitive physical interaction with selected home functions.
Extensions & interfaces
Connect compatible access, security and third-party equipment where supported.
The result isn’t a collection of gadgets. It’s one coordinated system.
Compatibility
Connect the right technology.
Not every security or access requirement needs to be solved with equipment from a single manufacturer.
Loxone supports integration with compatible third-party technologies through various interfaces and integration possibilities.
Depending on the project, this can provide opportunities to integrate suitable:
Door-entry systems
Motorised gates
Garage doors
Intercom systems
Access-control hardware
Sensors and contacts
Compatible security technologies
Third-party devices
Compatibility depends on the exact manufacturer, model and interface available. DY-Techniek assesses this during technical planning rather than assuming every device can be integrated.
