Great video Chris, not overly familiar with Loxone so this taught me a lot. Quick question: you said that the miniserver relays at 5A but the loxone site says they are 10A? I need to control some Grundfos magna pumps and I planned to use the mini server relays. If they are only 5A I will probably need to add in a relay extension
Hey Matt, thanks mate, much appreciated. The relays on the Miniserver Gen 1 (the Miniserver in this video) are 5A … the relays on the Miniserver Gen 2 are 10A. The Gen 2 Miniserver came out after this video was filmed :) … definitely recommend the Gen 2… you can also use a coupling relay if the load is ever higher than the relay capability too 👍🏼
ilove the content i have a question about the extension main from breaker goes into input 1 and is then loop to each input first terminal thanks in advance if you have a diagram can you send link thanks
As you have linked all the 230v feeds together on those relays does that mean they all share the same MCB? I'm assuming that for some higher current loads you'd feed one relay from its own MCB? say if one of them was an immersion / heater or something?
Its region depending. Or time specific in some areas. Black and red is uncommon for my area altough not much used, somehow startups or small companies like this schematic..
Not looked at BS/EN guide for years now but it was and I believe still is blue for DC control red for AC control bn ,bk , gy, light blue for 230/400 or all black or all brown also black for DC power, main thing is to put a key on drawings and panels for wire colour identification.... but definitely not red for DC low voltage in the 48years I've been building control panels ,dis boards , machine tools ,bms,
YOUR HARD WORK IS AWAYS APPRICATED BRO!!
At least you're honest about your error 👍 big kudos to that Chris thanks for the content
Perfect explanation video Chris!
Thanks mate 🙂
Really enjoyed this video again Chris, 🎉
Thanks buddy! 👊
Chris - great video - just subscribed. Quick question/confirmation: are both the AC ground and DC negative/ground going to the chassis?
My guess would be no.
I keep the 24vdc circuits isolated from the 120vac and 240vac stuff, in my builds, but I'm in the US.
Nice video Chris 👍
What diameter of twisted pairs do you use for Tree and Link connections?
Thanks mate, not sure off the top of my head... if you search FS cables "Tree Cable & Jumper Wire Designed For Loxone System" you'll find it
🙂👍

Exactly that mate 👍🏼
do you have a video on how to tag electrical cables for loads so you can tell which cable is feeding which load in a specific room?
Great information… side note that background music is 🔥 lol
Not judging but when has 24vDC ever been red and black and I've done panel's for over 30 years unless specd by client, looks good though

@@ClosestNearUtopiaprobably because thay don't know what standard colours should be
@@rogergregory5981 those are correct.
Is there no issue with control low voltage cabling running parallel to mains cabling such as relay outputs?
What case box (black one with door) do you use for panels? Is it prefab?
Yeah they are.. .from Future Automation 👍
which is better loxone or knx?
God bless you dude
Can u make short video with loxone motion sensor , I can’t find best way to program it for closet. He don’t turn on right after he turns offed
Hey mate. Are you able to show us how to fault find on one of these systems. Cheers
Live video coming soon 😉
Good job 👍
Cheers man 👊🏼
Super... 100% Best.
What happens if an extension fails? Will I lose control of whatever was connected? Ie I won't be able to turn the bedroom lights on?
Great video!
Thanks Danny 😊
Very insightful
Thanks 🙂
Top👍👏🙏👌
The sound quality was awful at the beninging
