"Having considered properties as far afield as Bracknell and Winnersh, we were delighted to identify this opportunity which had previously been under offer to an investor purchaser. Our client was particularly keen to secure a freehold building which is not easy when searching such a specific geographical area. Jonathan Mannings of RARE:Find, said: “We have been working with Loxone now for a number of years having acquired their existing premises and were delighted to have been able to secure their new UK HQ at The Forum, Theale. The building was bought from a private US company advised by JLL for an undisclosed price. The building, located opposite Theale Station and close to Theale High Street, occupies a prominent site of 0.52 acres.Īustrian-based Loxone appointed RARE last December to secure a freehold headquarters for its expanding UK business which will be moving from the nearby Theale Lakes development where it has been based for the past four years.
Depending on output and if you have to replace the switches, I'd wag you could do it in under $10k of hardware.Smart home technology group Loxone UK has bought a 10,000 sq ft headquarters office building at The Forum, Theale, Reading for its own occupation. Loxone has a canbus interface.Īll the above is based on Googling the datasheets of the products I'm guessing you have installed, so take it with a grain of salt, but should get you started with what you'd need to do. You'd need to provide 24v power to each looks like vNet used 38v?įor the switches, looks like those are running canbus too over cat5, so you might even be able to reuse them. The existing cat5 between them could be reused to link them. (Using DMX dimmers in NEMA approved wall boxes)īased on your other posts it sounds like each Starhub could be replaced by a Loxone Extension and the 'Command Unit' could be replaced by the Loxone Miniserver. You're looking at say $1k for the Loxone stuff (to run the dimmers), then ~$100/output for a drop in replacement for those dimmer packs. Can you tell if you have DM1-8T-LE or DM1-8T-TE ones? Looks like they both output line voltage, so you need to count how many total outputs you have going to the lights currently. The issue is keeping the line and low voltage separate and everything in the proper enclosures should you ever have to pass an electrical inspection.

I recently specced a typical 2,400sft 4-bedroom home to control lights, motion, water detection, window contacts and HVAC control for $ 7,000 in hardware costs.įeel free to get in touch with us. Speaking of costs: It’s hard to guess without knowing the number of switches, lights outlets, etc. As you have a CAT5 cable there as well, you can use those same cables to swap the current switches with the Loxone Touch Tree (that come with integrated temp + humidity sensors). However, you won’t be able to reuse those switches unless they just work by giving a 24v signal back to Loxone. Both in hardware and software.Īs irn0rchild stated, you would be able to reuse the CAT5 cable for the Loxone link.
And I honestly believe that we're way ahead of others when it comes to the Smart Home feature pack we offer with Loxone. Loxone sounds like a good fit for the wiring topology you have. I think we’ve been in touch at the AVS community as well.
