    Hello again and I have a question.
    Maybe trivial, but I don't know how to go about it. I need to run power wires to the video intercom, gate machine and external lighting (floor lamps, so ground wiring). While it can be done without any problems when building a house, in an already standing house ... I don't really know how to do it. You can probably drill a hole in the wall and run the cable through the wall, but maybe someone has a clever patent to do it in a non-invasive way, so that the cable does not go along the wall? Maybe someone can help.
    Regards.

    I forgot the cable I tendered inside the styrofoam which insulates the house.
    First, I measured the thickness of the wall and drilled it perpendicular to the wall outside so as not to break through the plaster. Then, from the outside, at the ground, a hole vertically up in the polystyrene to the place where the hole is to the house. I did this step with a stiff wire.
    Under the ankle, you can tender on a short section by piercing you with a steel pipe.
    Good luck

    Does the building have a basement? If so, go out with the cable below the ground line outside, put it in protection and tighten it where you want. And you have nothing on the facade :)

    Unfortunately, there is no basement, which is a pity because the idea is good. but with a cable in styrofoam more real. what about connecting this cable to the installation? Is it better to have it done by a professional or can you do it yourself?

    The question shows that you do not have basic knowledge and no practice in this field, so entrust it to an electrician.

    marqqw are you able to describe the procedure more or less? If it's complicated, I'll let you go, but if you need to explain it so that I can understand it, I can do it. My point is that you don't have to know everything, but you can learn everything. in the sense that you may not know something, but when you explain it, it turns out that it is easy and a man can do it. for example: I'm not a mechanic, but when my starter broke, a mechanic friend told me over the phone "the starter is here and here, three screws are here and here, you unfasten the cable here and here, to remove it you have to unscrew this and that ... some time it took me but I replaced it and it works, and I wouldn't take it on my own.
    thanks in advance for the answer, I have written a bit...

    You want to have cables in the ground, so you have to dig, I don't know if you have a lawn, pavements, hardened, it involves dismantling, forging, splendor, etc. Everything must be in the casing pipe, now the question is whether it goes in one direction or in different directions (lighting , gate, intercom). The question of where to connect to the installation in the house. Is the backlight the lamps themselves or maybe with sensors or combined with gate automation. So you must first describe how you want it to work, and it is best explained and advised on site. Or draw individual locations where and how you see it then it will be easier and something will be advised.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the challenge of running power wires to a video intercom, gate machine, and external lighting in an existing house without invasive methods. Suggestions include drilling holes in the wall and using existing insulation (like styrofoam) to guide the cables. One participant recommends running cables underground if a basement is available, while another emphasizes the importance of using protective casing for underground installations. The need for professional assistance is highlighted due to the complexity of electrical connections, with advice to describe the intended setup for better guidance. The conversation also touches on the necessity of planning the cable layout and connection points for various devices.
