What Alexa can control in your Loxone home
With MFM Voice, Alexa switches and dims lights, moves blinds, sets the room temperature, starts lighting moods and reads out temperatures and energy values. The table shows every supported Loxone block – and also what does not work.

The Alexa skill currently works in German and needs an amazon.de account. Voice commands are therefore shown in German, with an English explanation.
You decide in MFM Voice which devices Alexa sees. Each device gets a spoken name that you can change.
Set it up this evening. Tomorrow morning: “Alexa, guten Morgen.” (Good morning.)
You need your Miniserver, the Alexa app and a quiet evening.
