Choosing a smart home system: touchscreen displays, accounts, HD TV control

How can I build a smart home system with multiple touchscreens, separate user accounts, internet control, and HD TV/film distribution from one home server?

Use an industrial controller-based system such as Beckhoff, but split the installation into several Ethernet-connected cabinets instead of one huge central board, then connect industrial touch panels over Ethernet and run server software that can send a separate image/session to each panel [#6130322][#6133937] For the automation side, use EIB/RS485 for devices and sensors, and ZigBee if you want wireless control; one reply also recommends LAN/Wi‑Fi for the high data volume involved and ZigBee for control and sensors [#6128775] For the TV/HD media part, treat it as a separate subsystem: use a file/media server plus a mini-PC or network media receiver at each TV, or use a platform like LinuxMCE with a server, media directors, and plug-and-play Z-Wave devices [#6154577][#8891390] One poster also recommends industrial HMI panels such as Hakko because of better graphics and reliability than Windows-based panel PCs [#6133937][#6136774]

    Find out more about the LinuxMCE system.

    I’ve got it up and running at home: a server, plus two media directories (your monitors displaying the picture in the rooms) and three orbiters (remotes)

    You can add Z-Wave devices to the setup, as they are plug-and-play. Of course, you can also use PLC controllers; you’ll find the models on the Wiki.

    I’m just finishing translating the system into Polish.

    If you have any questions, please get in touch.

    Best regards,
