Hello everyone,
Our house construction is expected to start at the end of the year. During the shell construction phase, we will discuss the electrical installation with the electrician. We are building with a general contractor. According to the scope of work description, a conventional electrical system will be installed. In addition, CAT 7 cables will be laid and "terminated on a patch panel"(?).
I was told that I should directly share my wishes with the electrician and educate myself about smart home systems... At the moment, I cannot communicate with the electrician yet because they have not been contracted.
Among other things, we have electric roller shutters that I would like to control. I only want to use wireless as a fallback option. I prefer a wired solution here. In addition to the roller shutters, I also want to integrate window sensors.
My question is: What requirements must be met to later control the roller shutters and evaluate the window sensors using logic control? Which cable needs to be installed?
I am quoting a post I just read:
Ultimately, my goal is to be able to integrate logic control in the future if I want to. Therefore, this “decentralized” approach sounds good to me.

Option 2: The “I’ll do the KNX wiring later” approach
An in-wall switching actuator from Jung. Controls one channel and fits behind the socket.
As an alternative, the actuators could be installed decentrally, i.e., distributed exactly where they are needed. If there is a KNX data cable in the socket you want to switch, you can connect to the bus there whenever you want. So the extreme version of this wiring would be: you let the electrician do their job and install a conventional electrical system. One supply line per room, with lighting and sockets connected from there. Special outlets (oven, dishwasher) get a separate line. However, there are two requirements:
- All flush-mounted boxes are 63 mm deep.
- A KNX data cable is run to every box. You can do this yourself.
Ultimately, my goal is to be able to integrate logic control in the future if I want to. Therefore, this “decentralized” approach sounds good to me.
