Smart Home Wiring

Building a new home or remodeling? One of the most common questions our tech support department receives is how to cable a home for automation. Since the popular X10 and Insteon protocols send your commands over standard electrical wiring, adding various additional cable runs isn’t necessary, but automated lighting and appliances aren’t the only convenience to keep in mind when planning your cabling. There are a number of different theories on how automation wiring should be done and what type of cables should be used. The following is probably the most widely accepted and most practical method based on the TruTech team’s experience and industry knowledge.

Wiring for Data

Data cabling will include more than the cat. 5 or cat. 5e you’ll use to use for your Ethernet network. This section provides the information you’ll need to install your A/V, telephone, HVAC, and security systems. The first stage in planning is to select the location of a central wiring hub location. This is where all the cables from all the different rooms come in and where all the external cabling (cable TV, phone, antenna, satellite, etc.) feeds into the house. Ideally this should be located next to your audio/video equipment since the speaker cable and video cable will feed to the other rooms from here.

The equipment housed in this location usually includes:

Video Distribution Panel
Telephone System
Intelligent Home Automation Controller
Multi-Zone HVAC Controller
Security Panel and any other home automation-related central controllers/hubs

The Equipment Rack will usually house not only your home theater equipment but all the amplifiers, DVD players and DSS receivers for the entire house. Before you could just stack all equipment on top of each other. That was fine, unit the equipments started having more energy processors and other components generate lots of heat. If the equipments are stack nowadays, it may burn out components. You will need space for the equipment and cooling strategy for the your gears.
