Designing a Loxone installation online — from floor plan to documentation

Prepare a Loxone installation in EH Designer: rooms, devices, wiring, distribution board and quotation.

Prepared by EnergyHouse · Updated: 19 October 2026

Start a Loxone project with the functions required in each room. Record lighting, wall controls, blinds and heating requirements separately before selecting individual products. This makes the layout reflect the client's needs and the purchasing list reflect the design.

Workflow

In the demonstration project, we define rooms first, then add all lights, wall controls, blinds and valve actuators. This sequence makes room specifications easier to compare. Before preparing a quotation, check room assignments, labels and device routes. EH Designer supports installation design and estimating; system behaviour is configured separately using the manufacturer's software.

Drawing and naming rooms

Room outlines help assign devices to the correct rooms.

  1. In Rooms, select Draw a room and drag a rectangle around the room’s outline.
  2. For an L-shaped room, select Draw an irregular room. Mark the corners and close the outline by clicking the first point.
  3. Name the room. Select it later to edit its name or outline.

Choosing a model from the catalogue

Search for the exact model in the appropriate system or manufacturer’s catalogue.

  1. Choose a system in the catalogue and enter a product name or model code. Adjust the category filter if needed.
  2. View opens product information. Select prepares the device for placement; then click its installation location on the plan.
  3. On a computer, you can also drag a product card onto the plan.
  4. After placement, check the object type, cable, route and mounting height in its details.

Prices and stock levels come from the catalogue’s data source. Check current availability before purchasing.

Lighting and LED strips

The lighting circuit wizard combines a light source with the components needed to operate it.

  1. In Devices, open Lighting circuit. Choose LED for a strip.
  2. Choose the strip, control method and power supply. Check the set’s voltage and power requirements.
  3. If you only need to draw the strip, choose the option without a controller instead of adding an arbitrary module.
  4. Choose a polyline or rectangle, start Draw strip and mark its path.
  5. Check the length, power supply location and set contents in the estimate.

Do not add components that are already included in the set.

Blinds and curtain tracks

The wizard helps you select the blind or curtain system, motor and controller.

  1. In Devices, open Blinds and curtain tracks.
  2. Choose the system type, manufacturer and appropriate set components.
  3. Set the controller location to local or distribution board, depending on the solution.
  4. Start placement and mark locations on the plan. Check the cable route and outlet height.

Electrical distribution board

The distribution board view is used to arrange modules and prepare documentation.

  1. Choose Electrical distribution board from the view menu.
  2. Set the number of DIN rails and module positions per rail.
  3. Check the circuits and incoming supply parameters before generating protective devices.
  4. Add DIN-mounted models and arrange them.
  5. Review the selection report, then prepare the PDF export.

Automatic selection is preliminary. The installation and protective devices must be checked by a suitably qualified person.

PDF project and current view

The project PDF documents the plan and selected installations.

  1. Under Export, open project PDF generation.
  2. Choose a floor plan style, paper size and the required pages.
  3. Generate current view includes the objects currently visible. Set the layers before exporting.
  4. Check the crop and plan coverage before confirming.
  5. Open the generated file and check label readability, scale and completeness of the pages.

Do not change the project while the export is being generated. If the export fails, try a smaller selection of pages and report the problem with the settings you used.

Try it in your own project

Open EH Designer on a computer with a mouse. Start with one room or part of the installation, review the result and expand your project. For available plans, see pricing.
