    Gentlemen, which PLC would you recommend for home automation via cable?
    With smartphone control and the possibility of future expansion?

    I would recommend the S7-1200, possibly some from WAGO.

    Firstly, if a PLC is necessary, it should be one with free software and low-cost accessories. Secondly, one that will be easy for you to program.

    So what would you recommend for a person who only knows the basics of PLC and wants free software?

    if you insist on a PLC (i.e. you have the cash) then go with STERBOX if you want to save microcontainers.

    I installed a Sterbox with two expansion modules (lighting control) at my home six years ago and am satisfied. Zero problems, easy programming of the controller via a web browser, lots of functions of various kinds. Just remember to use external relays or contactors.

    On the sterbox website I cannot find any products for controlling doors, for example, but only controllers for roller shutters ...

    I only installed the "sterbox" controller itself with two expansion modules from this company, and connected sensors, buttons and relays to it.

    I see you are from Krakow. Some time ago there was a large home automation shop on Rybitwy near Instal. It was about five years ago, but they had a large range of PLCs.

    I'll pop in with a question. What do you think of the Delta PLC and the Weintek HMI?
    .

    Delta PLC - I am not familiar with, but Weintek HMI - most positively, also works well in an industrial setting.

    Yes, it does. I don't know about Android, but for iOS there are three apps available in the AppStore.

    What do you think of Sonoff?
    Does their application and control panel support more than 4 devices?
