Hello
I wanted to ask what the essential use for a LAN connection in the garage would be?
Our electrician is reluctant to install a Cat cable in the garage.
He is charging twice as much as for a Cat cable inside the house (€500 in the garage) just for a Cat socket.
Why do you absolutely need LAN in the garage?
Wallboxes usually all support Wi-Fi anyway.
We are also planning to install photovoltaic panels later on.

What exactly needs to be connected in series 🤨
On the Ethernet side, nothing should require a "true" point-to-point connection. For us, there would have been the option (Zappi Harvey and Zappy HUB for the heat pump)
On Ethernet

Besides that, the company also has a VPN tunnel for the home office, so confidential data is encrypted at least once and not just stored unprotected on the hard drive...
And for online banking, there is two-factor authentication... Yes, that's true, but then the VPN password is stuck under the keyboard and the token for the 2FA is right next to it 😀
That’s how things work in practice ...

That's everyday practice ...Then it’s no longer a WLAN issue, but a lack of intrusion protection...
Guess how many people around me have roller shutters and KNX, but no security windows rated RC2 or higher 😀

They are useless with Ytong if you just cut an opening next to the window using the spike tool :p :p :pBut only for the plaster layers. For everything underneath, use a damp finger; that makes less noise.
