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...

To prevent the wall lamps from causing glare,
they should be positioned at eye level.
However, we felt that was too low.
That’s why we chose a height of 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in). Our lighting designer said something similar. So I can confirm this. Generally, the height is between 1.80 and 1.95 m (5 ft 11 in and 6 ft 5 in), depending on the lamp and the ceiling height.

Where should the weather station be installed?
If you have a dish antenna on the roof,
you could use a longer mast and install the weather station above the dish and the roof ridge. That way, you get fairly accurate measurements.
This weekend, I will mount my rain and wind sensor like that.
Rain sensor for irrigation and wind sensor for controlling the external blinds.
Having an access point for the terrace is definitely a good idea.
I ran a duplex cable to the terrace. So later it will be installed in the corner of the terrace area under the awning. An exact position for the weather station has not been discussed yet. Where would you place it?
If needed, I would attach the dish to the facade instead of the roof. The reason is that I am planning to install a photovoltaic system in 2021. In theory, I could put it directly on the ridge, but that probably wouldn’t look very good, right?
What about an outdoor access point? Exposure to moisture? Cold? Are there any experiences with that?
