The Sure-Lock-Homes guys finished up the home automation rough-in this morning. They will be back after the sheet rock is hung to finish their work on the A/V system and install the security devices. The first two photos show the A/V connections to the wall above the piano in the music room from the lower cabinet in the living room. We are running two co-axial cables, an HDMI cable, and two cat-5 wires. The TV will mount to the blocking added in the wall and will be powered from the electrical outlet already installed. The 2” orange conduit is currently empty to allow for most any contingency imaginable. The conduit runs out the bottom of the cabinet to the ceiling above the center channel surround sound speaker in the basement.
The photo below shows all of the home automation cabling as it exits the utility room ceiling. The left hand bundle is network and phone wire. The center bundle is co-axial cable for the cable TV system. The right hand bundle is security system and home control wiring. All of the wires will eventually terminate in the cabinets we will mount to the basement wall.
The sketch below shows most of the components included in the networking and in-house audio systems and gives a general idea of how they will be placed in the 19” rack. It is likely that we will install some of the video and phone distribution components on a panel placed in the 19” rack as well. I think the home automation systems in the “L” Shaped House will be very nicely organized and accessible using this system.
