Hello everyone,

I have read quite a few threads here in the forum (and generally on the internet), but most seem to stall after one or two responses.

Since I already received excellent feedback in another thread about the LAN/SAT topic, I would like to try it again with this issue:
Here is my concern, which I believe many others will relate to:

We are about to start building our single-family house.

In the wind protection wall in front of the front door, I would like to install a flush-mounted mailbox with an intercom system.

Specifically, I have selected a Siedle Vario system with the following components:
Bus door speaker module
2x blind module
Bus button module
Mailbox module with mail slot flap

Detailed floor plan drawing with door arch and cabinet in architectural plan


This is how it should look.

Inside, the system should be connected to the telephone system. In other words, I want to use the telephone handsets as intercom devices and avoid mounting extra devices on the wall.

Additionally, it should be possible to open the door remotely.

Furthermore, I want to keep the option open to later expand the system with a camera or fingerprint sensor.

For that, I have the following questions:
  • How should the cabling be routed?
  • What type of cables can I use (is CAT7 duplex cable suitable)?
  • Which modules do I need to purchase for this?
  • Which Siedle technology makes the most sense here
  • (In-Home-Bus, Access (IP), 1-n technology or 6-n technology)?
  • Should I prefer the "DoorCom interfaces" or the "Smart Gateway" for integration into the telephone network?
  • What are the pros and cons of each?
Many thanks in advance for your feedback!

I would purchase and assemble the following components individually:

At the intercom/mailbox:
  • Siedle ATLM670-0AG Access door speaker module 210004898-00 (speaker with illuminated push button)
  • Siedle BTM650-01AG Bus button module 210004907-00 (doorbell)
  • Siedle BM611-0AG blank module 210004903-00 (2 covers)
  • Siedle GU611-4/1-0 flush-mounted housing 200016704-00
  • Siedle BGU611-4/4-0 mailbox flush-mounted housing 200016255-00 (mailbox housing)
  • Siedle KR611-5/4-0AG combined frame 210004966-00 (plaster-in frame)
In the electrical cabinet:
  • Siedle SG150-0 smart gateway 210007449-00
  • Siedle ANG600-0 access power supply 200041605-00
At the front door:
  • Additionally, a door opener (to be coordinated with the front door supplier)

My wiring plan is as follows:
  • From the electrical cabinet (power supply) to the intercom/mailbox
  • From the electrical cabinet (power supply) to the front door (door opener)
  • From the electrical cabinet (smart gateway/DoorCom) to the Fritz!Box (telephone system)
Also, it should be possible to switch on the outdoor lighting via the intercom. Is it easy to integrate this into the existing lighting setup?

Anyone knowledgeable wouldn’t need to ask such questions. Leave Elli alone.

That is, of course, true. That’s why I’m asking. :-)

I wouldn’t carry out the entire project completely on my own either. A friend of mine, who is a trained electrician, would assist me.

However, I still want to have a basic understanding of the system and be able to estimate how much cost-saving potential there is by doing it myself. For that, I would like to know which components are really necessary for my specific situation. :-)

Hence my questions...
