To schedule Soundsuit music on Loxone, there's one simple thing to know:

You set in your Loxone system when and what to play, as well as when to stop to play. The Soundsuit "Schedule" (as defined in your Soundsuit App) will then automatically alternate the Soundsuit Stations according to your setup.

 

 

Step-by-Step Setup in Loxone Config

 

here’s how you can set up a start/stop schedule for music playback in Loxone Config, using its Audio Server and Scheduler blocks.
 

This works for playing Soundsuit as a source automatically at set times.

 


 

1️⃣ Add the Audio Player block

  1. Open your Loxone Config project.

  2. Drag in an Audio Player block for the desired zone (e.g. “Restaurant”, “Lobby”).

  3. Assign it to the right Audio Server output or Miniserver zone.

     



2️⃣ Add a “Schedule” (Timer / Week Timer) block
 

  1. From the function blocks panel, add a “Schedule” block (official name: Week Timer / “Wochentimer”).

  2. You’ll find it under:

    Function Blocks → Time → Week Timer (Wochentimer)

  3. Set your desired on/off times in the schedule — e.g.

    • 08:00 → ON

    • 22:00 → OFF
      You can configure different times for each day.
       



3️⃣ Link the Soundsuit Schedule to the Audio Player

Connect the output (Q) of the Week Timer block to the “On/Off” input (Tr) of the Audio Player block.

  • When Q = 1 → playback starts

  • When Q = 0 → playback stops

👉 If you want the Audio Player to automatically play a specific source (like Soundsuit) each morning:

  • Use the “Play Source” input (PS) on the Audio Player block.

  • In the properties of that input, select the source (e.g. Web Stream 1 – Soundsuit Schedule).
     



4️⃣ Optional: Define volume or fade-in

You can also:

  • Connect a Memory or Analog Value block to set volume (e.g. 35 %).

  • Add a Ramp block if you want a smooth fade-in/out when the schedule triggers.
     



5️⃣ Test and Save

Click the green “Play” icon (simulation mode) to test if the schedule triggers the Audio Player as expected.
Then upload the config to your Miniserver.
