Planning electrical systems to be future-proof

In the attic we have a storage room where we planned the network and sockets. There we will then connect an access point ourselves.

You will have good Wi-Fi in that storage room. How much of it reaches the rest of the house, where you really need the Wi-Fi, remains to be seen. When I see what Elis delivers in the network area, I know why they are allowed to lay the LAN cables and do potential equalization at most in my place.

They use Somfy, the most miserable island solution on the planet.

Okay, is that just a pity or a disaster?

It already works, just with its own remote control or its own buttons.

Okay, is that just a pity or a broken leg?

Proprietary solutions are fundamentally rubbish – all the more so the more they cook their own little soup on all levels: network topology, protocol, bus system, connector formats, ... In the "ideal case," the manufacturer merges with a competitor who follows a different philosophy, one of the two product lines is discontinued, and your house is basically electronic waste if you don’t know a soldering iron virtuoso with network and programming knowledge.

Do you have a recommendation that offers a better solution and is installed in the [Unterfranken] area?

A solution could be the Somfy flush-mounted transmitter. It goes behind a normal button and at least you stay within the switch program. If you have an Idealstandard electrical system, this is a good way. If you are heading towards Smart Home, you still lack feedback from the drive.
