One of the most important backbones in our home is the network infrastructure. We ran CAT7 cables in all rooms, used them for the light switches (see next section) and for the alarm system (see later section). Orange CAT7 cables are either network or light, blue CAT7 cables are alarm system cables. | One of the most important backbones in our home is the network infrastructure.

+ | * Base Module X with ESP32, LAN, 8 relays, 8 digital inputs, OneWire and DMX | ||

+ | All modules communicate via differential i2c, run along +5V over CAT5 patch cables. Everything is nicely integrated into rail mount modules. | ||

+ | For the dimmable lights I use relatively cheap DMX light controllers (2 channels). | ||
===== Door Bell ===== | ===== Door Bell ===== | ||
- | For the door bells, I went for a HikVision IP-based system that is entirely PoE-powered. The outdoor module contains the base station, the indoor door stations connect to this outdoor station. The only downside is that the modules do not support DHCP, all configuration has to be done statically. This one is not yet integrated into Home Assistant. | + | For the door bells, I went for a HikVision IP-based system that is entirely PoE-powered.

- | We have shutters around the house, driven by Elero and Somfy remotes. For the Elero-based shutters, I did a lot of research and finally went for two Mediola v4 gateways.
