Basics of wireless smart home solutions

Too simply thought. Or just not thought through. The slots are already there, or how do the 230V get to the sockets and other consumers?

For example, moving the windows with window contacts. Here I see a more practical solution in an "enocean Tippfunk handle".

But it doesn't tell you how the window is actually positioned, only what the handle is currently doing. Such a thing is at most suitable for comfort automations, but not for monitoring the closed states.

That's how it looks. Two regular 5-euro cable magnetic contacts are more functional and reliable.

What I want to add: during my research I noticed that the discussion "KNX vs wireless" is often conducted very ideologically,

House will be a timber frame bungalow,

That way you at least save yourself the, to put it kindly, equally "ideologically conducted discussion" calcareous sand brick vs. cookie crumb *LOL*

But it doesn't tell you the actual status of the window, only what the handle is currently doing. Such a thing is at most suitable for comfort automations, but not for monitoring the closed states.

Of course it can. The handle has 3 states (closed, open, and tilted), whereas with a simple contact you don't know if the window is open or e.g. just tilted ;)

And what does the handle do when I pry open the window? Right, nothing.
