Device Recommendations

Requirements:

  1. The devices to control each part of the house. For example, the light switches. I do not want smart bulbs.
  2. The front-end layout (portable tablet and fixed control screens in each room)

Living Room:

  1. AC Controller
  2. Smart Front Door Lock
  3. 4 Gang Switch for 4 different lights
  4. Smart Curtains (Radio Frequency. Will require a RF transmitter.

Kitchen:

  1. 2 Gang Switch for 2 different sets of lights
  2. 45A Switch for the stove/oven

Bathroom 1 & 2:

  1. Each one has 4 gang switches for 3 lights and one exhaust.
  2. I want to install an amplifier with 2 zones (bathrooms are next to each other). I’ll put 1 or 2 ceiling speakers in each bathroom. Should be able to connect to them with airplay and Bluetooth if possible.
  3. Each bathroom has a 25A switch for the water heater.

Bedroom 1 & 2:

  1. AC Controller
  2. Each bedroom has 2 lights
  3. Smart Curtains (Radio Frequency. Will require a RF transmitter.

I am open to both hardwiring through the walls and using wifi/zigbee/zwave. I will use a mesh wifi system in the apartment but can also use a zigbee/zwave hub on a different frequency to the 5G/6G wifi bands. I want it to work WITHOUT an internet connection, however with the mesh system available.

I want to build it on a budget. I’m willing to do the work/learn if pushed in the right direction. Suggestions are much appreciated ❤️
