Cloud Free Smart Home
Cloud Free Smart Home
So I'm looking to purchase a house soon, and before I paint I want to set up wiring in the house for a cloud-free smart home.
I currently rent an apartment. I have a home server running unraid with home assistant, and can run whatever server software I want to run. I'm looking at upgrading to a townhouse. Before I have someone come in and paint, I want to wire things for my ideal smart home.
My main focus will be networking and speakers.
I want to set up a server closet for my lab. I plan to get mikrotik switches. I currently plan on using tp-link omada APs for each floor.
I'm less confident in the speaker setup.
System Audio Inputs:
- TV in living room
- TV in bedroom
- Computer in office
- Computer in bedroom#2
- Any mobile device
audio out:
- Living room
- office
- bedroom (x2)
- kitchen
- primary bathroom
I'm imagining having a receiver for all the TV inputs/outputs and a central one for the bathroom, kitchen. I'm unsure about the office.
Cost is not a problem, I'm okay with 10-15k on the equipment for this.
What kind of amps/receivers would work best?
You're viewing a single thread.
Cool thread.
How have you thought about the speakers placement ? Ceiling, floor, how many etc?
I'm thinking of doing a soundbar and subwoofer in the living room, sound bars alone in each bedroom and some bookshelf speakers in other rooms
Don't get lazy with soundbars; do it properly with discrete speakers (at least in the living room).
Nice. And how are you going to be able to chose what to listen in each room ? Or all rooms will have the same source ?
That question is what brings me here!
