Hello everyone,
A meeting with the electrician for the electrical planning was arranged on relatively short notice. Based on comments from other threads and the inspection of the neighboring house—which has already been completed—I have created an initial draft of the electrical plan and would appreciate your feedback. I have attached the necessary layouts. Additionally, I have the following questions and notes:

A meeting with the electrician for the electrical planning was arranged on relatively short notice. Based on comments from other threads and the inspection of the neighboring house—which has already been completed—I have created an initial draft of the electrical plan and would appreciate your feedback. I have attached the necessary layouts. Additionally, I have the following questions and notes:
Notes:
- In the kitchen, I have only marked the "free" electrical outlets. Outlets for the oven, refrigerator, etc. are currently not included.
- Single sockets are mostly installed where there is also a light switch. Otherwise, I have planned multiple sockets everywhere.
- The wall lamps refer to the lighting of the staircase.
- The access points (APs) are to be powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). I want to avoid visible cables running from the access point to the outlet. The electrician suggested installing the LAN socket about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) flush-mounted, so a cable can be plugged in easily. Is 1.5 cm sufficient, or does the socket need to be recessed deeper?
- I have read that APs perform best when mounted on the ceiling for signal distribution. Now the question is whether, given our compact house, wall mounting might also be possible, as I could then hide them, for example, in corners.
- Do you see the need for a LAN connection in the bedroom? We currently do not plan to have a TV or similar devices there, and if so, I think Wi-Fi should be sufficient. What are your thoughts?
- We have (unfortunately) not yet started the kitchen planning, so we do not have an installation plan for the kitchen. Is it still possible to create a mounting plan for the kitchen, or would this not make sense for the electrician? I am trying to schedule an appointment at the kitchen studio at short notice but cannot guarantee it.
- What can be improved? Did I forget anything?
Best regards,
ConnyJash

We decided against satellite. It costs money, looks unattractive, takes up space on the south-facing roof for photovoltaic panels, and only offers linear TV...
A network connection is much more useful in that regard.

We’ve had the appointment with the electrician. He suggests that we don’t install any satellite sockets and would credit us for that. Since we use Magenta TV, I personally don’t see the need either. Do you have any opinions or reasons to still install satellite sockets? "just" my opinion: I would install satellite sockets (on the gable where it won’t interfere with photovoltaics, so not on the roof). It also works during internet outages. But it depends on how important TV is for your household (e.g., for the children).

Just a heads-up in case you weren’t aware.Regarding satellite TV, in my opinion, there is no right or wrong choice. It really depends on individual habits. Two years ago, I would have definitely recommended it. Today, not so much. It can be used as a backup, but how often does the internet actually go down? Looking back over the past 12 months, we only experienced about two days of issues. In any case, you can manage without TV for a while.

@hanse987: Thanks, I've already read the note about the switch. But this doesn’t apply if I use Magenta through the TV app, right?
