    Hello,
    intercom needed for a single-family house:
    1. I see the gate from the kitchen window, of course, opening the gate must be,
    2. In the fence I have 2 electric gates controlled from the remote control, if I managed to rip it, it would be git,
    3. Analog or digital ... ??
    4. There are 8 wires from the kitchen to the gate,
    5. I want the external element to have the highest degree of IPXX (previous intercoms leaked and fell),
    6. I would like the external element to be illuminated at night, number / name and bell button,
    7. it can be a handset or a speakerphone, possibly wirelessly between the exchange and the handset at home, but I know it can be too expensive,
    8. Budget about PLN 500.

    In general, I mean that the intercom should be resistant to rain and that it be fairly modern in appearance.

    Well, this problem probably solved itself :)

    The question is, what does your colleague understand by digital?

    As for the others:
    The easiest and the cheapest, if a colleague wants to have the factory built-in gate opening buttons, a classic analog intercom will come out, but if the cable runs directly from the door to the kitchen, in this case the control panel must be placed outside, and the 8-core cable used as a connector between the control panel and a uniphone.
    Please look at the topic: https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3052628.html


    Another version is that we use, for example, the Digital Cosmo intercom and the gate opening buttons are mounted next to the handset / on the handset / on the handset.
    But without detailed data, it's a sham.
    questions:
    1. estimated distances?
    2. Does your friend have / may have cables for gate automation in the house-to-machine or gate-to-machine relationship.
    3. external panel recessed / surface-mounted / maximum dimensions.
    4. A colleague writes that the cable ends in the kitchen. And where was the power supply planned / where was the power supply of the previous intercom?
    5. What were the intercoms that leaked and fell so much, how long did they last?

    Regards

    Digital = two-wire?

    Rather, I was thinking of dismantling one remote control, placing it inside the intercom and connecting the original intercom buttons to the remote control buttons with cables, so that the intercom would have to have two free buttons besides opening the gate ...

    Also an interesting solution, and a nice Flor pilot will enter there?

    From the house (kitchen) to the gate I have about 30 m, one gate next to the gate, the other about 20 m next to it in the same line.

    I only have cables from the kitchen to the gate and it is possible that there are also cables from the gates in the gate post, but I have to check it, I checked, there are only cables from the kitchen at the gate.

    external surface-mounted or rather post-mounted panel for a fence post with a square cross-section, probably 70 mm wide, I will also check it, I checked, the post is 100mm .

    Installation quite simple, the cable goes from the kitchen to the gate, the power supply / central unit lay on the cabinet connected to the socket above the kitchen cabinet, the cable went down to the intercom panel, and that's it. The gate controller is in the basement under the kitchen, and the cables from the gates go directly to it, no kitchen-basement cable to the gate controller.

    Father bought some market items, the last one was even a full hd videophone, 5 stars, miracles wreaths ... all outdoor units leaked and lasted a year or two ...

    thanks

    Maybe if something is leaking, it is worth a roof over it (cover, drain to put into the wall ect) instead of replacing it without reflection.

    In the link to the topic there is a discussion about which intercom is best to buy for a cable 10 wires between the gate and the box and then 4 wires between the box and the uniphone ...
    I have 6 veins from the gate to the kitchen, where I have a 230V socket next to it. So I still do not know what type of intercom I need to buy, analog, digital?
    In terms of resistance to rain, the intercom will be on the steel post of the gate. I don't see the possibility of building some roofs. I would like the intercom to have some minimum necessary IP protection, I don't know, 44 or 56? How can you check with the manufacturer? It seems to me that such an intercom should be resistant to weather conditions, since it is intended for installation outside ...

    Strange, because not so long ago there were more of them:

    Does something eat them or trouble counting? Linked analogue doorphones are just using 8 wires though and 6 of them can be connected and the control panel does not have to be placed in the "electrical box" and it can also be quietly lying on the cabinet. But in the link and in the text (post # 2) there were proposals of other intercoms working on fewer veins.

    A colleague did not notice, but in the 3rd post I corrected three information (in bold), after careful checking. I just counted the two veins that go to the gate lock.
    Nevertheless, I am grateful for all the help. I understand that I have to make an analog set myself. Ok, I will look for what suits me and let me ask if it will work.

    Can you make it clearer? They go "to the gate lock" can be understood as: they go from somewhere (by default from home) to the gate lock, or go in the panel / can relationship on the gate - electric strike.

    As a friend knows. However, I would suggest something ready to buy ;)

    That's how it works. Because for now it looks like a colleague got at least 3 proposals of intercoms that even met the 6 criterion criterion (two in the link and one in the text) and did not refer to any substantive ones. Fairy tale theme :)

    Well, somehow it turned out that the quotes did not arrange as they were and the correction jumped into the quote.

    two cables from the gate's electric strike to the panel on the post, I don't know if it's clearer? :)

    I don't think you need to stick to words, but ok. It was a mental shortcut.

    Well, but what I have to substantively refer to as in the descriptions on the pages does not go to find even an IP protection degree of intercom panels. And it's difficult to have substantive comments on something you see in the picture and you are not in the process of editing. To avoid problems and mishaps with an unsuccessful purchase, I tried to substantively describe how the installation looks like for me, what expectations I had and hoped for help from the forum, I thought that it works ... As I wrote, I will try to pick something and speak. Meanwhile, thank you for your comments.

    But a colleague can indicate which solution a colleague likes. As for "reliability", your colleague has three options: buy at random, trust the seller, trust the experience of installers. We recommend what we assemble ourselves and we know that it works.

    Should my friend send samples? But not to invite my friend to the assembly. We will inform you in advance how we will find it :)

    Sorry for the post post.
    I wrote as soon as I could for a colleague (and not only) a short guide, and basically I rewritten and completed the previous one so that it was more readable :)
    https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3418235.html
    Of course, the current installation invitation :)

    Thank you for everything I read. I will not use the invitation for installations, but thank you so much for wanting to help me lost in the intercom world.
    I was looking and finally found something that suits me: 6025 / PR1 / 401 - Doorphone set for 1 occupant - Miwi-Urmet
    E.g. here: https://sklep-ecsystem.pl/6025-pr1-401-zestaw-domofonowy-dla-1-lokatora-miwi-urmet-10039.html

    And now my question, how to connect it on the 6 wires of the wicket house relationship? Do you need to buy a 4-wire switch instead of the original one?

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around selecting an intercom system for a single-family house with specific requirements, including the need to control two electric gates and a wicket. The user seeks a modern, weather-resistant intercom with a high IP rating, illumination for visibility at night, and a budget of approximately PLN 500. Various options are considered, including analog and digital intercoms, with suggestions for using existing wiring (8 wires) and integrating remote control functionality. The user ultimately identifies a potential solution, the Miwi-Urmet 6025/PR1/401 doorphone set, and inquires about the wiring connections needed for their setup.
Generated by the language model.

FAQ

TL;DR: With a PLN 500 budget, “the easiest and the cheapest… a classic analog intercom” fits a single‑family gate/wicket setup, using existing cabling and simple gate‑open buttons. [Elektroda, suworow, post #16900653]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps homeowners choose and wire a weather‑resistant, budget intercom for a wicket plus two gates.

Quick Facts

Analog or digital for a wicket + two gates on a tight budget?

Choose analog for simplicity and cost. The thread’s expert said, “the easiest and the cheapest… a classic analog intercom.” It works well with existing multi‑core cabling and supports gate‑open buttons on or near the handset. [Elektroda, suworow, post #16900653]

Do 6 wires from the kitchen to the gate suffice?

Yes for an analog set. The discussion confirms analog doorphones can operate on six conductors, with the supply near the indoor unit if needed. This matches the corrected wiring count noted in the thread. [Elektroda, suworow, post #16949159]

How do I handle two gates if the remotes are already installed?

Use intercom gate‑open buttons at or near the handset to trigger your gate controls. This avoids opening remotes and keeps wiring straightforward. “Gate opening buttons are mounted next to the handset/on the handset.” [Elektroda, suworow, post #16900653]

What about distance—will ~30 m between house and gate cause issues?

A 30 m run was reported workable in the thread when using an analog setup and local power where convenient. Keep joins protected and use intact copper pairs. [Elektroda, michumal, post #16901072]

My past outdoor panels leaked and died in 1–2 years—what can I do?

Add a small roof/cover over the panel to shed water and improve durability. This simple mechanical protection is recommended when leakage occurs. [Elektroda, Tracer2, post #16944647]

Where should I place the power supply/control unit?

Place the PSU indoors near a convenient socket, even on top of a cabinet, and run the low‑voltage line via your existing cable. This approach was used in the thread and keeps electronics dry. [Elektroda, michumal, post #16901072]

How is the electric strike usually wired at the wicket?

Two dedicated wires run between the strike and the outdoor panel on the post. The thread clarified this exact panel‑to‑strike relationship for reliable unlocking. [Elektroda, suworow, post #16949605]

Can one intercom control a wicket plus two gates?

Yes, by using the intercom’s built‑in gate buttons or nearby auxiliary buttons to command each operator. Map each button to the desired input on your gate control. [Elektroda, suworow, post #16900653]

Will a post‑mounted panel fit a 100 mm square fence post?

Yes. The OP measured a 100 mm post and planned a surface‑mounted/pillar panel. Choose a unit sized for that face and route cables within the post. [Elektroda, michumal, post #16901072]

How do I wire a Miwi‑Urmet 6025/PR1/401 if I only have 6 cores?

Use an analog topology: 1) Mount the PSU near the indoor handset. 2) Use the 6‑core run for audio, call, and unlock. 3) Keep the two strike wires at the post connected to the panel. This mirrors the thread’s analog‑with‑six‑wires guidance. [Elektroda, suworow, post #16949159]

Is integrating a radio remote inside the intercom a good idea?

Avoid gutting a remote. Use the intercom’s gate buttons at or near the handset to trigger gates cleanly and serviceably. It’s simpler and safer. [Elektroda, suworow, post #16900653]

What if a product page doesn’t list the IP rating?

Ask the seller or rely on installer‑proven models. As one expert noted, you can trust seller support or installer experience when specs are unclear. “We recommend what we assemble ourselves.” [Elektroda, suworow, post #16949605]

Any gotchas when counting available wires?

Confirm whether strike wires are part of your main run. The OP initially miscounted, then clarified two separate strike wires go panel‑to‑strike. Miscounts can derail planning. [Elektroda, michumal, post #16949582]

What’s a quick 3‑step plan to upgrade from a leaky market intercom?

  1. Pick an analog set within ≈ PLN 500. 2. Mount a canopy over the outdoor panel. 3. Wire the 6‑core to indoor, keep strike’s two wires local. [Elektroda, Tracer2, post #16944647]

Edge case: no spare cables from gates to the house—still feasible?

Yes. The thread’s scenario used only the kitchen‑to‑gate cable, with existing strike wires at the post, and placed power indoors. Plan button mapping accordingly. [Elektroda, michumal, post #16901072]

What does “digital two‑wire” mean here?

In the thread, “digital” was used to mean two‑wire systems, contrasted with classic multi‑wire analog sets recommended for this budget and cabling. [Elektroda, michumal, post #16901072]
