Hi John
Have you read my wiring
guide...
Might give you some ideas. As others
have
said, structured wiring will give you most flexibility for the
future. Put
MUCH MORE CAT5 in than you imagine you'll need. It's amazing how
quickly
you find uses for it once you're in.
Good luck and keep us informed!
Mark.

Subject: [ukha_d] Advice: Planning for
HA
All,
I have now have the plans for my house
conversion ( really a rebuild - only
two external walls remain ). Before
the builders start I want to factor in
as much support for HA as
possible.
I would like ( over the next few years) to have
1.
Security:
- Complete programmable control
over my house lights ( Ceiling +
floor / wall socket
lights)
- remote control over lights in
each
room
- Programmable curtain
movements
2. Lan
- LAN sockets in
each of the bedrooms ( 5 ) for the kids PC's + My
own
network
3. Phone
- Sockets in each room ( + Mini swich
board
) so that when the kids
are older and cannot hear the phone over their
Audio systems I can oute it
to their room
4. Music /
TV
- Available to each room from the MP3
server in the loft
5. Humidity /
temperature
- sensors in each
room
I
cannot afford to do it all at once, but given that the house will
be
completely rewired will do the lights during this conversion, plus
add
the
conduit for the curtian rails. I had hoped to find some form
of
skirting
that I chould run the Lan / Phone / TV Cables through and patch
that in. For
the Music, was going to add the cables to the ceilings for
the
speakers and
route that back to my garage wall ( reasonably central
).
I would appreciate any thoughts / Advice that you might
have
John
