Hi,
I'm looking for information, help, guidance or even a negative answer that it's not worth it.
Situation: bought development flat, no major tenant alterations.
The height of the flat is about 2.6m.
Because I have a development flat, I was thinking of using it and pulling all the cables I need and so sooner or later I came across the topic of smart home.
What I'm trying to achieve:
Lighting
Automatic switching off of lights when no one is present ( presence sensor )
Floor heating ( some Salus, no data on that yet )
Door opening and closing sensor
Window opening sensor, balcony doors
Automatic opening and closing of entrance doors
Vision viewer ( possibility to suspect by phone who is trying to break into the flat )
Exterior roller shutters/interior roller shutters? Partner, block of flats
Monitoring of utilities?
As you can guess, I have started my combinations with occupancy sensors. I would like to avoid running everything over Zigbee or WiFi, I was thinking of cable versions of the Smart home.
Unfortunately commercial versions:
Grenton - I'm afraid of a closed system
KNX - expensive and no simple document, buy this, that and you'll have what you want.
Ampio - only for installers, I would like to do as much as possible with my own time
I came across Hapcan, but unfortunately the shop does not offer too much available stuff, plus from what I understood it is a very old and slow technology.
I thought that I will create my own module based on ESP32 + LAN ( with POE or not? ) + HLK-LD2410 + sizable switch + proxmox + Home Assistant
Only I have a few problems:
1. How to provide power for EPS + HLK-LD2410?
As I understood correctly ESP works on 3.3 volts, where: HLK-LD2410 operates on 5 volts. Would the use of a board with POE e.g.:
LILYGO® TTGO T-Internet-POE ESP32 Ethernet Adapter LAN8720A Expansion Module Programmable Hardware

solve the problem of powering this?
I was thinking to flip the results from the HLK-LD2410, via UARTA to the ESP, and the ESP will flip this to: MQTT or somewhere further down to Home Assistant.
Maybe the question is, why am I starting with a presence sensor?
I plan to put this contraption in some sort of enclosure and throw it under the false ceiling.
I was simply thinking of: Zigbee TS0601, but the price scares me, especially as I will need about 4 of these(kitchen, bathroom, living room, room)?
