How smart a house can be later made — and at what cost — is decided during the structural and electrical installation phase. This page summarizes what needs to be built, area by area, while the wall is still open, and how to control it afterwards.
General deployment principles
These few rules apply to all areas. If they are present, the rest is a matter of tools; if they are absent, it is a matter of demolition.
Deployment requirements
- Indoor light switch, roller shutter switch and behind the socket recessed, 65 mm junction box.
- Behind the connector AC 230 V phase (L), neutral (N) and protective earth (PE). For a switch, it is enough to L and N — there, the PE is not required to be built.
- In the box as few ties as possible be: space is tight, the smart relay must fit. For connection stranded wire preferred.
- Just one relay behind a junction box avoid — against overheating.
- The laryngeal tubes must be over-sized: to the main trails min. 32 mm; where UTP or coax runs, the 30 mm mandatory.
- A low current (DC 12–24 V, coax, UTP) in each case in a separate conduit run from AC 230 V.
- Key devices (control panel, NVR, alarm) should preferably be on a separate, dedicated AC 230 V circuit; recommended „Type "A", max. 30 mA RCD relay.
- In the distribution cabinet at least +30% free space — for ventilation and later expansion.
- Surge protection for all UTP endpoints, both inbound and outbound, the In accordance with EPH and the lightning protection system.
- For structured cabling by default CAT6A; the cables to the contractor you have to label it during construction.
- Recommended separate IoT VLAN/SSID for smart devices.
Tools
There is no device selection at this level yet — these conditions are the same for all manufacturers. If the electrician adheres to them, you are free to decide on the control later.
Network and smart home center
The backbone of the system: the internet connection, the location of the central unit, and the network to which everything else connects. The primary, supported platform is TP-Link Omada.
Deployment requirements
- Ask the service provider for property connection point — for this the junction box must be designed.
- To the central unit room UTP and/or coax termination, and all devices communicating via UTP or coax cable should be connected here.
- Dedicated AC 230 V circuit the central unit; the central server and switch in the house should preferably be on a separate circuit.
- For the rack sized AC 230 V circuit (min. 13 A) and standard EPH binding necessary, appropriate with ventilation.
- For TVs and workstations double UTP outlet recommended.
- The central unit protected from weather and temperature fluctuations to enter the room.
Tools
- Smart home center: Yabune Home central unit
- Network controller: TP-Link Omada OC200 / OC300, or Omada Cloud Essentials
- Gateway: Omada gateway (ER707-M2; for smaller needs ER605)

- Surge protection: ETH-SP-G2 on all UTP endpoints
- Rack: 19″, min. 9U (highly content-dependent)
- UPS: Legrand Keor, min. 800 VA
Heating
Zonal, thermostat-based control: the system controls and monitors the entire water-side mechanical system — pumps, valves, mixers, distributor-collector — with adjustable temperatures for each room.
Deployment requirements
- Mechanical control distributor (e.g. 2×12 module) near the rack, dedicated, protected AC 230 V / min. 13 A with a circle.
- The elements to be controlled (pumps, valves, mixers, thermoelectric heads) It is worth connecting to a distributor..
- The divider-collector thermoelectric actuator head for all circuits, powered from the mechanical box.
- A the range of wet rooms remains open at all times — against hydrolock.
- Emergency switch next to the control cabinet: In the event of a control failure, it manually starts the underfloor heating pump.
- By zone thermostat location, and temperature sensor locations on the forward/return branches.

- Recommended: Helios, Zehnder
Cooling and air conditioning
Three typical solutions, often combined: split air conditioning, surface (ceiling/floor) cooling and fan coil. Water-side cooling is based on heating engineering and uses its control logic.
Deployment requirements
- Split air conditioner: proper condensate drainage, the indoor unit dedicated AC 230 V circuit. The location of the outdoor unit should be agreed in advance with the air conditioning installer.
- Surface cooling: through the heating distributor-collector, with cooling water. Dew point monitoring is mandatory, for this humidity sensor per room must.
- During cooling, the underfloor heating pump is disabled; cooling water only circulates in the permitted circuits.
- Fan coil: two-way valve and (auxiliary) pump, fan speed control, condensate drainage. The supply and fan speed connection from the mechanical box.
Tools
- Split air conditioner: Daikin Perfera (FTXM-R „All Seasons”), current Gree or Midea series. Integration with factory Wi-Fi or IR control (Shelly + IR / Sensibo)
- Fancoil water side: Shelly Pro 4PM (two-way valve + pump), Shelly 2PM Gen4 (mixing valve), zone thermostat Computherm E300FC
- Surface cooling: humidity sensor per room + Computherm Q4Z/Q10Z + thermoelectric heads

Exterior and interior lighting
Each light retains its physical switch and can be controlled with a smart relay, dimmer or LED controller. This section determines whether the lighting can be made smart at all later without breaking down the wall.
Deployment requirements
- For all lighting physical switch position: recessed junction box, L phase and N neutral at the switch.
- Outdoors, if there is no switch, the behind the light fixture the correct box depth and cable arrangement are required.
- In case of alternating and alternative switching, push-button (momentary) approach recommended: an impulse is received at the relay input, so it can be switched from any number of points, and the brightness and scenes can also be managed.
- With LED strips, control is done on the DC side (12/24 V), not on AC: the driver runs on AC 230 V, the dimmer regulates the driver's DC output. The power supply must be sized for the load.
- For inductive loads (iron core transformer, motor) snubber required for reliable switching and relay protection.
Tools
- One point / alternative / outlet: Shelly 1 Gen4 or 1PM Gen4 (narrow box Mini)
- Two points in one box: Shelly 2PM Gen4
- Large node: Shelly Pro 4PM DIN rail, 4 channels
- Dimmer: Shelly Dimmer Gen3 (trailing edge). LED max. 150 W, incandescent/halogen 200 W, transformer 200 VA; bypass below 20 W
- 0–10V driver: Shelly Dimmer 0/1-10V PM Gen3
- Colorful LED strip: Shelly Plus RGBW PM — 12 V: 45 W/channel (max. 144 W), 24 V: 90 W/channel (max. 288 W)
- Scene control: Shelly i4 — predefined lighting images per switch

Household appliances and robots
We do not have a general, prior development requirement for this area.
Deployment requirements
- The range of built-in household and robotic devices, their communication capabilities and integration options extremely variable by manufacturer and type.
- The necessary stances and the method of integration are therefore always requires project-level coordination.
- A typical aspect to be clarified in consultation: obstacle-free movement of cleaning robots — it is recommended to avoid thresholds and to have a minimum level difference at pavement transitions.
Tools
- Bring a list of your planned machines to the consultation — at the type level. From there, we can tell you what can be integrated and what requires support.
