Best comprehensive SmartHome program

What would you really miss? Or is it just fomo? Someone who already has to save a lot on power outlets should seriously consider whether smart home is even necessary.

What would you really miss?

Weather station, I haven't found a good one that would cover the functions of a KNX or Free@Home. Also, you can't easily go up to the roof later to install the weather station. (Gable roof 35 degrees)

What I also can't estimate is the radio connection (how stable it really is?)

Possibly smart motion detectors that can be connected to the power supply. I don't know if I would need to equip the entire house with, for example, KNX presence detectors; I can't imagine that at the moment (it would probably be too much automation for us). What I could imagine is using motion detectors for the hallway and stairwell.

I'm only asking because we still have the opportunity to lay the cables at least now.

Or is it simply just FOMO?

Maybe a little :D

And we'll do many of the sockets ourselves because it's really easy and we can save a lot, about 50€ per socket. We just have to work a few days, which is no problem for us.

What do you need a weather station for? I only "need" it for the blinds, which you don't even have. And in quotation marks because an online weather forecast is often even the better choice.

I thought a weather station is the eyes and ears of a smart home.

I would have used the weather station for the following

Automatic shading. (in summer as heat protection)
Lowering the shutters when windows are open and it is raining heavily (so that rain doesn't come in)
Raising the shutters in strong wind (so they don't get damaged).

May I ask which smart home system you have installed?

For automatic shading, the weather forecast or the photovoltaics are enough, right? Since when do shutters have to go up in windy conditions? Shutters down when it rains sounds nice, but it's better to just close the window.

I have knx.

Rolling shutters down when it rains would be really nice. When you are out and, for example, in summer unexpected heavy rain comes or at night and the windows are open for ventilation and it starts raining heavily during the night. At night you don’t always notice when it suddenly starts to rain heavily. Can the automatic shading be done according to the weather forecasts? Aren’t they too inaccurate? How do you do it with the sun position without a weather station?
