DIY NETWORK CABINET House Upgrade

Home Automation Part 1: HomeMatic IP

Last year, we bought our own house. It is 15 years old and had a, for that time, quite modern equipment (electric window blinds, underfloor heating, electrical garage door etc.).

People into the topic might ask why "Light" is not in the list? Well, I cover that topic entirely with Philips Hue lighting wherever the lighting needs to be smart. In other cases I have installed motion sensors.…
