Hello everyone,

The preliminary work (chasing/chiseling, etc.) for the electrical installation has started, for now only inside the house.
I still have the opportunity to consider "important" things and/or extras and would like to get tips, ideas, or suggestions from you.

What is already planned:

- Sufficient electrical outlets (in every corner)
- Duplex LAN Cat.7 and satellite connections in every room (except, of course, bathrooms, utility rooms, etc.)
- Connections for access points on both ground floor and upper floor
- Switches and room thermostats
- Preparation for electric roller shutters

I’m only looking for ideas, not exact placement.
Maybe you have some great suggestions to share.

Thanks...

As I said, I am a fan of Wi-Fi, but of course, that is a matter of personal preference.

Perhaps also consider a separate circuit protection for the infrared cabin.

What we have really enjoyed since moving in is the motion sensor in the hallway – there were mixed opinions about it beforehand, but we love it. No matter which room we come out of, the light turns on. Absolutely great.
Also, the flush-mounted cable duct for the TV. You have to think carefully about where the TV will be placed later because there isn’t much room for flexibility afterwards.

And just imagine having something like that in several rooms. You forget what a light switch even is and what it’s for.

We still have an in-wall radio installed in the kitchen and main bathroom.

It looks like this.

White wall with double socket, timer switch, speaker, and towel holder.

We have something similar. In the main bathroom and the dining room, there are two built-in ceiling speakers each.
The cables run to the network cabinet and are connected to a network amplifier.
The whole system is controlled via an app.
