How your voice command reaches the Miniserver
You speak to your Echo device. Amazon understands the command and passes it on to MFM Voice. Our server in Nuremberg sends it to your Miniserver through Loxone remote access. You do not need any additional hardware for this.

What is transmitted – and what is not
Transmitted
- The recognised command, for example “Licht Küche ein” (kitchen light on)
- The state of allowed devices, such as temperature or blind position
- Names and rooms of the devices you allow
Not transmitted
- Audio recordings: they stay with Amazon and are not sent to us
- Devices you do not allow
- Your Amazon password
Requirements
- A Loxone Miniserver with current firmware. Very old firmware without token login is not supported.
- The Miniserver must be reachable from the internet. The simplest way is Loxone Remote Connect, Loxone’s remote access service: no port forwarding on the router is needed.
- An Amazon account at amazon.de, with Alexa set to German
- An Echo device or the Alexa app
- Internet access at home
Set it up this evening. Tomorrow morning: “Alexa, guten Morgen.” (Good morning.)
You need your Miniserver, the Alexa app and a quiet evening.
