I am building a new house and I am trying to prewire as much as possible. If price was not an object what would you pre-wire?
Currently, I have my house being set up for Lutron RA2 lights
Putting 18/2 for speakers in each rooms
One cat5e by each room for a tablet/intercom
Cat5e for cameras
22/2 for Door/window contacts by all exterior doors and windows
smurftube by every room (where the intercom is for future growth).
18/2 by windows where I may want power shades.
What else am I missing?
Thank you
With that condition, I would install 1/2 in. to 2 in. EMT conduits everywhere because no amount of planning is enough so it’s better to have readily available ways to run extra wires and cables. Cat6 is future proof unless you want to host a datacentre out of your home. I would start my cable schematic from the home server room and deck it out instead of whipping something up. The earlier you start planning your homelab (and think about all the different security scenarios), the earlier you can learn from your mistakes.
