Hello everyone,
For our new build, I decided to go with the heating system from our manufacturer (Kermi) and am currently installing Enocean components (this can’t be changed now since the parts have been at home for a long time). I actually like the Enocean protocol a lot, but after reading a bit about smart home systems and seeing many things on Instagram and Pinterest, I came across IKEA Tradfri, Philips Hue, and a Doorbird as well. We also already have a Sonos system. Now my question is how to integrate all of this seamlessly. The plan is to use a tablet as the door station to access Doorbird, which is already set up using Tasker and Fully Kiosk. But how do I now connect Sonos, Hue, and Enocean into one system?
Should I use FHEM? What alternatives are there? How can I connect my Enocean components to Alexa? KNX was never an option due to cost, but in hindsight, Homematic IP also seems quite interesting.
Thanks!
Regards

Go ahead, it’s not a bad idea.Have you worked with it before?

sorry for bringing up an old topic, but I hope to get some practical experience here regarding EnOcean technology and its related components.
We are having a 70-year-old house rewired for electricity (sockets, lighting, etc.). Shutters and other components are also planned to be electrified. The whole system should then be accessible remotely via the internet.
I hope I understand it correctly that with EnOcean technology, we would have the advantage of being fully flexible regarding the placement of switches and would not even need to install additional wiring there. For example, for lighting, you could simply run power to the desired locations, place an EnOcean-capable module in between, and then use an EnOcean switch that can be positioned freely anywhere in the room.
Has anyone considered this for themselves or even implemented it and possibly compared prices with other systems?
How stable is the system? Is there any latency (delay) with EnOcean light switches before, for example, a light or socket is turned on?
Best regards & thanks in advance

EnOcean push buttons usually have a slightly different tactile feel compared to the more common ones. You just have to try them out. Additionally, there may be some latency. Furthermore, the push buttons also produce sounds. All of this is due to the nature of the technology.
The system is stable, but as with any system, lost messages can occur. Since EnOcean does not retransmit signals, you may sometimes need to press the button twice before something happens.

after being sick for a while, I ordered an EnOcean set and built a small test setup. I’d like to share my experience and opinion with you.
I integrated the universal dimmer actuator “FUD61NPN-230V” into an old dimmable bedside lamp and was able to conduct tests inside the house. The wireless push button “F2T55E” is loose anyway.
In the 14 x 12 meter (46 x 39 feet) house, it generally worked reliably across the width (~18 meters (59 feet) through the same floor and one floor below). Two floors down and further, it was only sporadically reliable.
Of course, you have to consider that the range was not affected by furniture or people during the tests. Furthermore, such long ranges are usually not really necessary.
In my opinion, if the central unit (gateway) is positioned well, it should receive the signal just as the executing actuator does. For example: I press the wireless push button, the actuator in the same room receives the signal (turns on the light), and the central unit (gateway) also receives the signal, so when connected to the internet, I can see in my console (tablet, phone) which lights are currently on, etc.
Is that correct?
By the way, the switch/operation actually feels different, but I’m willing to accept that for the advantages of this system.
Thanks & regards
