What are Loxone moods?
Moods are lighting presets saved in your Miniserver. Each mood remembers which lights are on, at what brightness, and at what color. When you activate a mood, all lights in that zone switch to the saved state at once — no need to adjust them one by one.

Common mistakes when editing moods
Mood does not save changes
Make sure you tapped the checkmark ✓ before leaving. If you close the screen with the back button, changes are discarded.
MORE button not visible
Scroll up inside the lighting control panel. On smaller screens the MORE button can be hidden below the visible area by default.
Mood appears but lights do not change
Check the Miniserver connection. If the app shows a cloud with a warning icon, you are in offline mode and changes are not being transmitted.
Frequently asked questions about Loxone moods
What is the difference between a mood and a scene in Loxone?
In Loxone, "mood" and "scene" mean the same thing. The official term in the app is "mood", but many users call them scenes. Both refer to a saved lighting preset with defined brightness and color values.
Can I create moods without Loxone Config?
Yes. From the Loxone app you can activate, edit, and create moods directly on your phone — without opening Loxone Config or asking your installer.
How many moods can a Lighting Controller V2 have?
A Lighting Controller V2 supports up to 9 moods per zone, including mood 0 (all off). In practice, most installations use between 3 and 5 moods per room.
My mood does not save after editing — what do I do?
Make sure you tapped the checkmark icon (✓) before leaving the edit screen. If the problem persists, force-close the app and reopen it. In rare cases, a Miniserver restart fixes the save issue.
Do moods affect all lights in the house or only one room?
Moods are zone-specific (per Lighting Controller). Each room has its own independent moods — changing the living room mood does not affect the bedroom.
