Best retrofit smart home new build

: Did you really solve it that way or is that just the romantic idea? For me, it worked in the children's room and guest room, but the bathroom, kitchen, living room, heat pump, technical room, outdoor areas, ... quickly became very complicated. Sometimes one N is no longer enough, you then have to discuss and plan exactly

For the sockets, it is largely solved exactly like that. So for the "normal" consumers. Towel heaters in the bathroom, dishwasher, oven, washing machine/dryer, ventilation system, and possibly other large appliances are of course separately fused. But the electrician has to do that anyway with a traditional installation. The "free conductors" then lie directly on switching actuators in the distributor, so that nothing has to be rewired there if I want to make something switchable. For that, I only have to switch the conductor at the socket. In the living room, the TV board still has an additional feed as well as the sockets in the window recesses (Christmas lighting). TV board less to switch off the TV, but to know that it is running. Disclaimer: no living experience, currently only the cables are pulled and the walls are waiting for their interior plaster.

Better than nothing, that's true, but my wife would like the reveal socket to be switchable, I want the TV to be measurable for scenes, and then there's nothing left.

In our house, the living room also has the most supply lines and deviates from the concept of 5 conductors per room.
5x1.5mm² for the TV board
5x1.5mm² for the window reveals
5x1.5mm² for the rest

The 5 conductors are then each looped through from socket to socket. I passed this requirement on to the electrician, and it was implemented accordingly.

I have to see how we do this.

I just happened to come across the new wireless standard Thread.

Is Thread the new wireless standard of the future? At least that's how it's being presented.

This is supposed to be the result of Connected Home over IP if I understand correctly.
It is allegedly supposed to become the wireless alternative to KNX.

Currently, there are only a few products, just Eve and Nanoleaf :D but more can still come since it's just the beginning.

What do you think, does the new wireless standard Thread have a future and will it replace the others? (Zigbee, Z-Wave, EnOcean)

Thread is supposed to be a manufacturer-independent wireless standard without a central unit and mesh system.

And what is Matter?

Better than nothing, that's true, but my wife wants the reveal socket switchable, I want the TV measurable for scenes and then there's nothing left.

Since you already know this, are you planning accordingly? Reveal sockets get their own 3x1.5. TV and media corner, of course. The 5x1.5 would then be for the rest of the ring in the room. Don't look at everything one-dimensionally but think beforehand about what could be how. The biggest problem with wiring houses and apartments is that hardly anyone thinks ahead. It’s built by the book and afterwards they say here a radio actuator and here one. But all this can be avoided with prior planning.

What do you think, does the new radio standard Thread have a future and will it replace the others? (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Enocean)

No, there will be coexistence just like with wired communication standards. Modbus is from 1979 and is nowadays sometimes presented as the thing of the future (albeit somewhat modified).

Don't look at everything one-dimensionally but think beforehand about what could be how.

I have, I do. It costs a lot of time and money. Did you build new and at the same time completely plan the electrical system?
