Hello everyone,

The house is slowly but surely taking shape. I am currently discussing the final details regarding the electrical work with the electrician.
One question that came up is where I want to have switched outlets installed.

Background information:
Smart home system with Busch & Jäger.
In every room, there is 5-core cable as well as bus cable.

Do you have any tips or ideas from your own experience on where you would place the outlets?!

Thanks and best regards

Just checked... my current Panasonic TV in the living room and the corresponding Denon receiver simply go back to standby after a power loss. This doesn’t help at all for control purposes, apart from the fact that you have to take the remote control in your hand anyway if it’s not automated. In that case, only the power-saving aspect during long absences is effective.

Yes, every situation is, as always, different.

I really wouldn’t recommend that, except maybe to avoid standby power consumption during long absences (vacations), but not for switching on and off every time you use it, as the operation would become quite inconvenient.

I can confirm that. We planned to do that... but the TV didn’t support it. Now there is a floor lamp connected to the outlet.

OLED TVs should always be kept plugged in because they often run internal burn-in protection or brightness adjustment processes while in standby mode. In extreme cases, they can otherwise become damaged.

With a conventional installation, we only have the hotel switch in the bedroom (night lights and ceiling light can be controlled from the door and the bed), and all power outlets can be switched at a height of 3m (10 feet).

Haha. At 3m (10 feet) height, my sockets are already in the apartment on the floor above – it would be funny if I could switch them ;-)
