Device Recommendations
Requirements:
- The devices to control each part of the house. For example, the light switches. I do not want smart bulbs.
- The front-end layout (portable tablet and fixed control screens in each room)
Living Room:
- AC Controller
- Smart Front Door Lock
- 4 Gang Switch for 4 different lights
- Smart Curtains (Radio Frequency. Will require a RF transmitter.
Kitchen:
- 2 Gang Switch for 2 different sets of lights
- 45A Switch for the stove/oven
Bathroom 1 & 2:
- Each one has 4 gang switches for 3 lights and one exhaust.
- 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.
- Each bathroom has a 25A switch for the water heater.
Bedroom 1 & 2:
- AC Controller
- Each bedroom has 2 lights
- 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 ❤️
