I'm having the rear of my house extended soon and will probably be replacing the heating and the electrics throughout the house.
As this is a pretty major undertaking I really want to future proof things as I won't get another chance to take things right back to square one.
Are there any automation components that I should be considering that really need to be installed now as oppose to being retro-fitted?
Also any advice appreciated on the following...
I'll be getting a new boiler and a megaflow type pump system. I'll be needing some automated heating controls; I was thinking about Nest or the Honeywell system.
I have CAT6 to the existing house, i'll be tidying up the cabling and running new cables for the downstairs from a PoE Gbit switch. I was thinking of some PoE CCTV around the exterior of the house; something affordable and as subtle as possible. I also require an alarm system preferably one that works with the CCTV. Is there anything available that will allow control of everything?
I've been trying to find some face plates that have power and RJ45 but the best i can find are designed for hotels and meeting rooms from Nexxia.co.uk. They are a bit big and quite expensive. has anyone seen anything more suitable?
Many thanks for any help.
