4. Configure Device Communication​

Loxone requires the local network address of your device to fetch data.

  1. Click on the newly added Virtual HTTP Input in the Periphery tree.
  2. In the Properties window on the right, update the URL field:
    • Format: http://<DEVICE_IP>/v1/data
    • Example: http://192.168.0.171/v1/data
Static IP Recommendation

Ensure your device has a Static IP address assigned in your router settings to prevent communication loss if the router reboots.

5. Configure Input Commands​

Each device contains specific commands (e.g., Consumption, Flow Rate, Status). Assign these to the correct rooms and categories for the Loxone App.

Property Setup​

For each command under the device:

  • Category: Set to Electricity (stromleser), Gas (gasleser), or Water (wasserleser).
  • Room: Assign to the relevant room (e.g., Utility Room or Central).
  • User Interface: Ensure Use in User Interface is checked.
  • Rating: Set the star rating to determine priority in the Loxone App.
