Understanding your Loxone energy monitoring at home

You can see energy numbers in the Loxone app but you're not sure what they mean, whether they're accurate, or why consumption and production don't seem to add up.

Updated July 15, 2026~1 min read

Quick answer

The energy screen in the Loxone app shows what your home is using in real time, what it's producing if you have solar, and how those numbers have trended over the day, week, month, or year, it does not control anything, it only reports.

Loxone's energy monitoring shows what your home is using and producing in real time, plus how that's trended over time. It reports, it doesn't take action on its own. Open any section below to understand exactly what you're looking at.

Step by step

What the main energy screen is showing you
  1. 1

    Open the Loxone app and go to the Energy tab. The top number is usually your home's current total consumption, shown in watts or kilowatts.

  2. 2

    If you have solar or another production source, a separate number shows current production, and a third value shows the net, what you're pulling from or feeding back to the grid.

  3. 3

    Tap into the graph view to see consumption over the selected period, hourly for today, or daily/monthly for longer ranges.

  4. 4

    Remember this is a live snapshot plus historical trend, it reports what happened, it does not predict your bill or automatically adjust anything.

Grixx can summarize what your home used yesterday versus a typical day in one message, so you don't have to interpret the graph yourself.

Why consumption and production numbers don't seem to match
  1. 1

    Check the time range you're viewing, a graph set to 'today' compared against 'this month' will naturally show different totals and can look inconsistent if compared side by side.

  2. 2

    Remember that consumption includes everything the home uses, while production only reflects what a source like solar generated, they are not meant to always be equal.

  3. 3

    If you have battery storage, check whether the battery is charging or discharging, that shifts the net number without changing what appliances are using.

  4. 4

    Confirm which meter or circuit each number is tied to, in larger installations with sub-metering, a number reflecting only part of the home can look low compared to the whole-home total.

Ask Grixx to break down consumption versus production for a specific day. It can walk through the numbers so the comparison makes sense instead of looking like a mismatch.

A specific room or circuit shows no usage
  1. 1

    Confirm that room or circuit actually has its own monitoring configured, not every circuit in a home is individually metered, some are grouped under a shared reading.

  2. 2

    Check that devices in that space were actually in use during the period you're viewing, zero usage during a period when nothing was running is expected, not an error.

  3. 3

    Compare against a period you know had activity in that space, if it still reads zero when you know something was running, that's worth flagging.

  4. 4

    Rule out an app display issue first by closing and reopening the app, occasionally a graph fails to refresh and shows stale data.

Grixx can check whether that circuit has an active energy sensor configured at all, which is the most common reason a specific room shows nothing.

Understanding daily, weekly, and yearly trends
  1. 1

    Use the daily view to spot short spikes, like a specific appliance cycling on, and the weekly or monthly view to spot patterns, like higher usage on weekends.

  2. 2

    Compare the same period across different months if you want to see seasonal changes, for example heating or cooling load in winter versus summer.

  3. 3

    Keep in mind that a single unusually high day can pull up a weekly average, look at the daily breakdown before assuming your baseline usage changed.

  4. 4

    If you added a new major appliance or a system upgrade, expect a visible shift in trends afterward, that's expected, not a fault.

Grixx can flag when a day's usage is meaningfully outside your normal pattern, so you find out about a real change without having to scan every graph yourself.

When the numbers seem inaccurate
  1. 1

    Double check you're comparing the Loxone reading against your utility bill for the exact same date range, mismatched periods are the most common cause of an apparent discrepancy.

  2. 2

    Confirm whether your utility bill includes taxes, fees, or delivery charges that aren't part of raw energy consumption, those won't show up in the Loxone number.

  3. 3

    If a specific sensor reading looks stuck at the same value across multiple days, that can indicate the sensor itself needs attention.

  4. 4

    Note the exact numbers and dates you're questioning so whoever reviews this has something concrete to check against.

Grixx can pull the raw sensor history for the period in question, so if something genuinely looks off, there's specific data ready for your integrator instead of a vague complaint.

When to call a licensed pro

If you believe the numbers are wrong compared to your utility bill, if a specific circuit shows zero when it should be reading usage, or if you want to add monitoring on a circuit that isn't currently tracked, that involves the meter or wiring and should go to a certified electrician or your Loxone integrator. Do not open a meter, panel, or any energy monitoring hardware yourself.

Why LoxPilot

Grixx can pull your current consumption and production numbers on demand and explain a spike in plain language, instead of you cross-referencing charts yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Loxone app control my energy usage automatically?

No, by default the energy screen is a monitoring and reporting tool. Any automatic load management or shifting of usage has to be separately configured in your system, it isn't something the energy display does on its own.

Why is my solar production showing zero at night?

That's expected. Solar production is zero whenever there's no sunlight reaching the panels, the number should rise again after sunrise.

Can I see energy usage for a single appliance?

Only if that appliance is on a circuit with its own dedicated energy sensor. Many homes only monitor at the whole-home or per-circuit level, not per individual appliance, unless that was specifically set up during installation.

How far back does my energy history go?

That depends on how your system was configured and how much local storage the Miniserver has retained. Check the graph's available date range in the app, older history may not be available if it wasn't preserved.
