Architecture, yoga, sound art & hospitality in Heredia, Costa Rica
Loxone Technology Showroom · Costa Rica
Welcome to Nebulae — the living Loxone showroom by Alianz. The technology we build into our clients’ homes runs here every day: light, climate, security, sound and energy thinking as one, in real architecture you can walk through.
Official Loxone Partner — view our profileThe Idea
A smart home is not the same as an automated home. Smart devices wait for instructions. A Loxone home anticipates — it senses occupancy, daylight, weather and time, learns the rhythm of your days, and quietly acts on its own.
Lights adjust themselves as the afternoon fades. Each room holds its own perfect temperature. Music follows you to the terrace. When the last person leaves, the house closes, arms itself and rests — without anyone reaching for a phone.
The Platform
Loxone is a complete building-automation platform, engineered in Austria, that unifies every technical system in your home under one intelligent brain: the Miniserver.
Unlike collections of isolated smart gadgets — a voice assistant here, a smart bulb there, a separate security app on your phone — Loxone connects lighting, climate, shading, audio, security, access and energy into a single coordinated system. The Miniserver processes everything locally, inside your home, with no dependency on cloud servers or internet connectivity.
The result is a home that genuinely understands occupancy, time of day, weather and your personal routines — and acts on them without you reaching for a phone.

One Ecosystem
Twelve disciplines that usually live in separate apps and panels report to the same local brain. The Miniserver coordinates them into one choreography — and because everything is processed inside your home, the house keeps thinking even when the internet doesn’t.
Touch a system to see how it joins the choreography.
Lighting · climate · security · access · blinds & curtains · audio · pools · irrigation · energy · entertainment · monitoring · automation — one ecosystem instead of a dozen apps.
Total Control
One unified touch point replaces the clutter of remotes, panels and apps — and a single free app carries the whole house in your pocket. Your home stops being manual.
The Loxone Touch switch replaces banks of traditional switches with a single, elegant control point. Five touch zones command lighting, music, shading and your custom scenes — designed for the whole family to use intuitively.
The free Loxone app gives you instant control and monitoring of every room, every system and every scene — even when you are away from home. Manage access codes, adjust climate, check security status and control lighting from anywhere in the world.
Systems · 01
Lighting is the fastest way to feel what intelligent architecture means. Scenes are composed like the rooms themselves — layered, warm and precise — then triggered by presence, daylight or a single touch.
One room at Nebulae, two of its moods — drag the divider. Every scene coordinates color, intensity and shading in a single gesture.
Systems · 02
In the tropics, comfort is a moving target — sun, humidity and afternoon rain change by the hour. Loxone measures each room and orchestrates HVAC, ventilation and shading together, so comfort comes from coordination, not brute force.
Working in unison with shading and lighting, climate automation is one of the quietest — and largest — sources of energy savings in the house.
Systems · 03
Security in a Loxone home is not a separate alarm box — it is the house itself paying attention. The same sensors that shape light and climate watch over doors, windows and presence, and respond in seconds.
Systems · 04
Real efficiency is not a dashboard — it is a house that decides well, every minute. Loxone monitors consumption in real time and prioritizes where energy goes, so efficiency happens automatically instead of depending on discipline.
Solar, battery and EV integrations are engineered per project, together with our electromechanical team — sized on real loads, not brochures.
Systems · 05
Music that follows you from kitchen to pool. A living room that becomes a cinema in one gesture — lights dimming, blinds closing, sound rising. Entertainment stops being a stack of remotes and becomes part of the architecture.
Systems · 06
The deepest luxury is invisible: waking rested, breathing easy air, ending the day without friction. An intelligent home tends to the conditions your body actually feels — light, temperature, humidity, sound — all day, every day.
Intelligence, Honestly
“AI” is the most overpromised word in the smart-home industry. We prefer precision: here is what your home does today, what can be responsibly integrated, and where the technology is heading. Nothing on this page pretends the future already shipped.
Each integration is evaluated for privacy, stability and real usefulness before it touches your home.
We follow these developments closely at Nebulae — and adopt them only when they are ready to live in a real home.
The Alianz Method
Most automation is an afterthought — bolted onto a finished house, fighting the architecture. At Alianz — the studio behind Nebulae — the automation engineer sits at the same table as the architect from the first sketch, inside the same BIM model as the structural and electromechanical teams.
The result of early integration is invisible: no exposed retrofits, no dead corners, fewer failure points — a system that performs better because the building was designed for it.
Why Loxone
The difference shows up two years after move-in: when apps stop being updated, when the Wi-Fi hiccups, when the fourth ecosystem wants its own hub. This is why we committed to one platform — and became an official Loxone partner.
No compromise at any scale — add as little or as much intelligence as you want.
Fewer layers of control, designed for the whole family to use without a manual.
As your life and technology change, the system evolves with you.
Sensitive data never leaves the house — nothing collected, nothing shared.
Hardware and software engineered together, built to run for years.
Everything works the way you expect — switches, app and scenes that make sense.
Lighting, climate, security and energy acting in unison, guided by sensors.
Technology stays behind the scenes, complementing the interior — never distracting from it.

Questions, Answered
Yes — this is one of its defining strengths. The Miniserver processes automation locally inside your home, so lighting, climate, scenes, access and security keep working even with the internet down. An internet connection is only needed for remote access from outside the house, notifications on your phone and online music streaming.
Yes. New construction allows the deepest integration — designed from day one — but existing homes can be automated using Loxone’s wireless technology and staged renovations. After a project analysis we’ll tell you honestly what fits your house, and what we’d phase for later.
That is how it’s designed. Many clients begin with lighting, climate and security, then add audio, pool, irrigation or energy management years later. The ecosystem is modular — your initial investment keeps its value as the system expands.
Yes. Room-by-room climate control is one of the platform’s core disciplines, and our electromechanical engineers design the HVAC integration as part of the project — including ventilation and humidity management, which matter enormously in Costa Rica.
Yes — multiroom audio with streaming services such as Spotify and TuneIn, your own music library, AirPlay support, per-room favorites, and scenes that coordinate TV, lighting and shading for cinema nights.
Yes. Loxone can monitor production and consumption, prioritize self-consumption, manage battery storage and schedule heavy loads — such as EV charging or pool pumps — around your solar production. Each energy integration is engineered per project.
The system transfers with the house. User accounts, access codes and personal preferences are reset and reconfigured for the new family, and the underlying programming can be adapted to their routines. Automation done properly adds lasting resale value.
Always. Scenes, schedules and behaviors are software — as your life changes, we adjust them. Day-to-day preferences you can change yourself in the app; deeper changes are part of our long-term support.
At Nebulae, our Loxone Experience Center — real architecture running the full ecosystem: lighting, climate, security, access, audio and scenes. A visit answers more questions than any brochure.
Yes — visits are by appointment so we can dedicate the time to you. Schedule your visit via WhatsApp and experience it in person.
