Verdict

The call

Loxone and Miele app both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 49% of Loxone's written reviews are positive against 21% of Miele app's. Miele app's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 31) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
