I am in the process of finalizing plans to build a new house. Current house is sold and the majority of the home automation setup is in the process of being removed and returned back to normal except for the zoned audio and security system.
My current setup has the following:
Zoned Audio - Nuvo
Security - DSC - wireless, wired sensors, motion sensors, IT100 and Envisalink self monitoring
Lighting control - all Z wave Leviton switches
Plugin modules - all Z wave Intermatic
Heating/cooling - Heat pump w/backup nat gas. Trane z wave thermostat
Cameras - 6 IP Axis PTZ's to DVR
Irrigation - Etherain
Video - HDMI to all TV's. Dish Hopper and joeys. Rural location
Distributed IR - 2x Itachs
Cat 5 and coax - 2 runs ea to each room
Electricity monitoring - TED
Weather station - Davis Vantage Pro
Server - HSPro, Movie files, Music files, Video distribution over IP to XBOX/Apple TV, Camera DVR, File server, Backup for PC's.
All current networking/Video/Audio/DVR equipment is rack mounted, backed up w/ UPS and in a central location
Question is this: If you had the opportunity to do it all over again with new construction, what changes/additions would you make?
Any thoughts/ideas from others would be greatly appreciated!
