    I’m not an expert, but if I look around, I see lots of DIYers who use ZigBee and things like that. But professionals use for example KNX. As far as I know KNX is all local, wired and so on; but a multitude more expensive. I guess there are other protocols.

    So if money isn’t an issue and I had a new home, I would research KNX first, and eventually add some ZigBee gear.

    Also, go for the basics: smart heating, smart switches and smart outlets. That allows the best automations. Maybe add some wires to your doors for openclose detection, power for smart blinds and so on.






  • Thank you for the motherboard advice. I was under the assumption that it’s something you buy once good and it shouldn’t change.

    I should look into steamdeck. I know nothing about it 😅 Price wise it seems interesting, but that makes me doubt about specs. I’ll review some sites and YouTube’s to get a good idea of what it can do.

    Thanx
