ᐅ Repurposing cables from the ERR system

Hello everyone,

As far as I know, some of you have taken your ERR out of operation.
I have done the same in most of the rooms for a few years now, but I still have the valves installed and always have to make sure the ERR is set to 1 so that no power is drawn.
Do you still have the controllers on the wall or have you removed them entirely?

Is there any useful purpose for the wiring? Do you have any ideas or have you already implemented something?

Intercom system? Like on the Enterprise (Kirk). That way, you can call everyone to report (dinner).
Or: "Children, please come to the bathroom to brush your teeth!"
Or: "Parents, please come to the kids’ room for some cuddling!"

The suggestion at least gives me an idea.
I already have this function implemented more or less through the video intercom system in two locations on the ground floor and first floor, although not as a hands-free option, but rather for phone calls. The monitors are connected via PoE and could be easily expanded.

I believe a four-core cable runs to the actuator. You would need to check if PoE can be transmitted over it. Placing the monitor for the door intercom on the first floor next to the door would be better than near the LAN outlets.
This would also make it easy to add another monitor for the children's room.
