Wired lighting control in the smart home - alternatives to DIY

Hey!

What lighting control solutions exist beyond a homemade decentralised microcontroller based system for the home? So far I've actually only considered one because I thought it would be the cheapest, but I didn't include the time spent setting it up.

I'm interested in a wired system because of the higher degree of security, the higher data transfer speed and the greater freedom of choice of devices, and the building in which the system would take off has no plaster yet.

I have yet to come across the idea of integrating lighting with an alarm: Link Perhaps someone knows of sources describing such a solution in more detail?

Loxone?

What else? Is it possible to expand such installations later, but already combining a cable and wireless installation?

Thank you in advance!

If you mainly care about lighting then a dedicated solution is the Philips Dynalite system. It works great for large houses and highly complex cases. For standard-sized houses, I would recommend the KNX or LCN system. All of these systems can later be integrated with other devices and expanded as desired.
If you have a moment, take a look at the advice section of the website.

The Ampio system fulfils all the assumptions you expect ampiosystem.co.uk I have a couple of different systems on offer in my company, but this is basically all we install.
It is based on CAN communication (one of the best buses in the world), as far as unreliability is concerned, we have been installing it for two and a half years and not a single module has failed. I also know from the manufacturer that it will soon be wirelessly expandable. However, if I were you, I would run a twisted-pair cable through all the switches and additionally lead it to the corners of the building, just in case, and do not connect it. It is a small investment and you will not have to resort to a radio in the future.

I recommend Loxone as much as possible. Take into account one very important thing that is not usually thought of when creating such an installation. Everything must be done in such a way that in 20 years' time no one will have a problem with repairing such a wonder. If you use the offer of some little-known company, it may turn out after a while that it no longer exists and you will not get the parts for a replacement. Creating your own electronics for such a purpose is also very tempting, but I would not knowingly do such a thing at my home, because a breakdown when someone else is living in the house may prove difficult to repair. I would lean towards the best known solutions. KNX (expensive, nice panels), Loxone (mid-priced, can be combined with KNX), PLCs, e.g. Wago (cheap, can be combined with KNX, expensive special modules). The alarm can of course always be integrated into the rest of the installation. It is even advisable to do so:)
