The home automation system in the “L” Shaped House will be laid out as shown in the sketches below. All of the structured wiring is terminated in basement utility room. There will be a 4’ x 8’ plywood panel attached to the basement wall with a 19” rack mount for the computer network and in-house audio systems. The cable TV, phone, and security systems will terminate into boxes attached to the same plywood panel. The central vacuum system will attach to the adjacent wall opposite the furnace. The first sketch shows the basement with the home theatre and surround sound speakers.
The second sketch shows the first floor layout. We plan to have one television mounted on the music room wall above the piano and a second in an open cabinet above the kitchen desk. A cable box, DVD player, and game system will be housed in a base cabinet on the end wall of the living room. The in-house stereo system is controlled using wall panels in the living room and kitchen. A music player (i-pod or Zune) can be connected to the system using a dock on the kitchen desk. Cable TV signals will be distributed throughout the house from the automation panel in the basement. The main security panel is inside the breezeway entrance. There are three central vacuum hose connections on the first floor and one KickSweep inlet in the kitchen.
The third sketch shows the second floor layout. Each bedroom gets an A/V panel that includes co-axial and network cables mounted in the wall opposite the beds. The book nook has six network connections, a hard wired phone jack, and the second security panel. Three central vacuum hose connections round out the automation systems on the second floor.
The last sketch shows the bonus room and Garage layouts. Each has a central vacuum inlet connection and network wiring. The garage also includes a hard wire phone connection and provides the entrance point for the phone and cable systems.
