Domoticz - Where to really start?
Posted: Tuesday 25 April 2017 15:27
Good day!
Currently we are renovating our first home. For an automation system I was looking to various solutions such as KNX, Loxone,... But in the end there is a love at first sight with domoticz!
The main question I have is about wiring. We need to place completely new electricity cables, contacts, lights,...
Is there any place where I can find information how the electricity should be laid for Domoticz? And is there any hardware required in the electricity control panel?
Fe.
- Loxone uses a star system (every switch has a separate cable to the central electricity box) and needs a loxone mini server in the control panel
- KNX uses a bus system (every switch is just connected to the central bus wire) and also needs a server system in the control panel
Any guidance on that would be much appreciated, thnx!
