Home Automation…Day 4

Our friends from SLH Home Systems are back setting up the home automation systems in the “L” Shaped House. Most of their work over the last few days has been behind-the-scenes wiring as they make connections to the various wall plates through out the house. The first photo the video connection plate on the wall in the master bedroom. Here they have terminated a co-axial video feed and two cat 5e network connections in a box next to an electrical outlet. We have seven of these video connection points throughout the house (one in each bedroom & the kitchen, music room, and basement family room).

See the plan here

The next photo shows some of the wiring in the living room window seat cabinetry as they work to terminate the wiring. These wires run into the music room and include internet, video, and HDMI  connections for the 46” LCD television we will mount on the wall above the piano. The third photo shows one of the central vacuum inlets in the upstairs hallway. We have ten of these vacuum inlet ports spread around the basement, first, and second floors.

 

The last two photos show some of the elements of the in-house stereo system being installed in the kitchen and living room on the first floor. The first shows the on-off/volume switch mounted in the wall above kitchen desk. The second shows one of the speakers mounted in the ceiling.
