Hello
I would like to ask how to carry out the electrical installation in a newly built detached house in order to have the possibility of automation in the future.
Assumptions:
- control of lighting, roller blinds, heating
- the distribution box is very small and cannot be enlarged (nor can anything be inserted into it)
- the traditional installation must function normally
Is it possible to make an additional distribution box (in a different place than the electrical box) for digital signals based on arduino/raspberry pi, from which a cat5 twisted pair cable would be drawn to each element? The boxes would have a circuit controlled by a traditional switch or a circuit communicating via twisted pair....
How to route the twisted pair? As a bus or star (to each point separately) ?
What are the other ways (wired)?
