Hello!
I am considering routing every switch and electrical appliance individually to the utility room and installing a central sub-distribution panel there. I expect this to reduce installation effort and make future modifications easier...
Am I alone with such ideas?

Well, if I were to bundle many cables closely together in a cable tray over long distances, I would be concerned about loop impedance... but this is a rectangular 140m² (1507 ft²) floor plan with 4 rooms, where the utility room (I call it MFR) is centrally located.
By the way: I will be doing the work myself, so only the material costs are really an issue regarding the installation effort.
I want to combine the whole system with Alexa control and hope that this installation method will offer maximum flexibility.
Of course, I’m also worried that I might be overlooking something, which is why I’m asking you all...
A friend who is a certified electrician will connect the distribution board and carry out the final inspection.

Theodorius27 Dec 2018 13:50I haven't planned anything specific yet, but I have already seen Alexa-compatible surface-mounted switches that can be operated either conventionally or via Alexa.
Having a conventional setup or installation with surface-mounted switches is important to me. I would find it annoying to be able to control them only through voice commands.
Additionally, an Alexa-compatible blind control is important to me. But there are also switches for this, which can be operated as described above.
