Roller shutters
Lights
Video doorbell
Heating
That all makes sense, just not with Free@Home, because it generally ends up more expensive than KNX. Because with F@H you are dependent on one manufacturer.
I would lay the cables everywhere with F&H but only implement
- Roller shutters
- Lights
- Sockets
F@H is rather not worthwhile in other areas.
Sockets? I don't think I need to be able to switch them, it would probably only make sense in very few cases
And then we can't make 2 or 3 out of one socket ourselves, for example.
Yes, that's what I wrote. No one says you have to make every single socket directly switchable. But you need the infrastructure inside the walls. Later on, it's hard to pull cables through.
You could already think in advance about where a switching option is definitely necessary. For example, reveal sockets, terrace, floor lamps, media corner, etc. These can be done right away. For the others, if you have laid 5x1.5 NYM cables beforehand, you can rewire them later as needed. Needs change, even entire room functions change over time. It's not bad if you can completely rewire the room without having to tear open the walls.
The window contacts are installed later wirelessly under the handle
No, you only do that if you haven't thought ahead, and actually you still have enough time until then.
