What is this “intelligence or smarts” that you say Loxone brings to the critical systems of a home that the above mentioned don’t?

Well, one thing mentioned is that it knows the orientation of your house, and which direction your windows face. So it could proactively lower shades on the sunny side of the house based on time of day and season, rather than just on a fixed schedule like others.
While subtle, it could lead to lower cooling costs etc. That's just one example of smarts that it has that the others don't - however, that's something that the others could develop (it's not rocket science). The ability to control air to individual rooms would take more to develop - however, that does require the hardware to be installed in the ducting to facilitate it, so that's not a simple solution (and probably one reason why Loxone isn't suitable for retrofits).
