How to Configure Multiple Soundsuit Music Zones with Loxone

Sarah K. Sarah K.

If your business has several rooms or areas (for example a reception, gym, studio, bar or restaurant), you can play different Soundsuit music streams in each area using the Loxone Audioserver.

This article explains how Soundsuit and Loxone work together. For detailed Loxone configuration, please refer to the official Loxone documentation linked at the end of this article.

 

How Soundsuit and Loxone Work Together

The integration follows a simple principle:

  • One Soundsuit Zone = one independent music stream
  • One Loxone Audio Player = one audio zone or area
  • Each Loxone Audio Player is connected to one Soundsuit Zone

For example:

Physical Area Soundsuit Zone Loxone Audio Player
Reception Reception Reception
Gym Gym Gym
Studio Studio Studio

Once configured, every area can play its own music independently, or multiple areas can be grouped together within Loxone whenever required.

 

Step 1 – Create Your Soundsuit Zones

Inside the Soundsuit Dashboard, create one zone for every area that should play music independently.

Example:

  • Reception
  • Gym
  • Studio

Each Soundsuit Zone provides its own dedicated music stream that can be managed independently.

 

Step 2 – Create One Audio Player per Area in Loxone

Inside Loxone Config, create one Audio Player for each physical area that should have independent music playback.

For example:

  • Reception
  • Gym
  • Studio

The exact creation and configuration of Audio Players is handled entirely within Loxone Config.

 

Step 3 – Select Soundsuit as the Audio Source

After Soundsuit has been connected to your Loxone Audioserver, it becomes available as one of the available audio sources.

Simply open the desired Audio Player and select Soundsuit as its audio source.

Step 4 – Assign the Correct Soundsuit Zone

For every Audio Player, select the corresponding Soundsuit Zone.

Example:

Loxone Audio Player Soundsuit Zone
Reception Reception
Gym Gym
Studio Studio

From this point onward, each Audio Player will play the music assigned to its corresponding Soundsuit Zone.

Music selection, scheduling, playlists and AI Stations continue to be managed entirely from the Soundsuit Dashboard.

 

Example: Five Independent Music Areas

A typical installation may look like this:

Physical Area Soundsuit Zone Loxone Audio Player
Reception Zone 1 Audio Player 1
Gym Floor Zone 2 Audio Player 2
Studio A Zone 3 Audio Player 3
Studio B Zone 4 Audio Player 4
Café Zone 5 Audio Player 5

Each area can play completely different music, or several Audio Players can be grouped together within Loxone whenever desired.
