One of the really attractive options with Loxone is its intercom and NFC touch controls.  I set aside a budget for automation at our gates, and Loxone would be able to provide the intercom/NFC for this.. The OCD in me wanted to keep everything inside one place, but that might not be possible.  If I went loxone, was planning on mounting an iPad on the wall as a home hub - @Kelvin, @Thorfun - do you know if this works well? @Pocster, is there something similar for Home Assistant?

intercom, camera, NFC, iPad all on my todo list! I have the components just haven't fitted them yet. I'm sure I'll get to it one day.

Is that the updated Intercom or the old style 80s silver one? What did you use instead?

The updated one. I was talked out of it by someone that knows. 
 

I’ve yet to sort the gates out. I’ll probably use the Reolink Doorbell as the intercom. It’ll only be us coming through the gates though as we have a guest parking area.

Thanks will look at that rating 🤔

 

Did people register as a partner on loxone’s site to buy the kit or source some

other way? Can we buy as self builders?

You can buy directly from Loxone’s web shop.
