if you want control your Air conditioning by IR, need add KC868-AGv3 IR controller. that support control IR signal in home assistant.

Hello,

Using RTS shutters saves me from having to buy a third relay board.

I’ve also opted for a dedicated physical network setup with a router and switch. It’s pricier, but I’m tempted by the UniFi ecosystem, which seems to simplify everything significantly.

24V 240W power supply. I’ve planned for two LED strips; at 15W/m, the wattage adds up fast. My planned 120 W would be cutting it too close .If I want to add a bit more, it won't work. So, I’m thinking of using that one instead.

It’s 113.5 mm thick. For now, I’m going with an empty 800x600x250 (or 300) metal enclosure, so depth won’t be an issue. I plan to arrange the modules and such just like in some of the Kincony videos.

Thanks for sharing photos of your setup! What’s the model number for that huge enclosure? (I was considering a 6-row, 24-module unit, but it didn't look very comfortable to work with given the height of the modules).

My panels will be side-by-side.
- On the left wall: a 19-inch rack for the network, mini PC, ISP box, etc.
- On the opposite wall: a standard Schneider 4-row, 18-module panel for the 230V circuits.
- On the same wall, right next to it: the home automation enclosure. (I would have liked the 19-inch rack on the right, but I don't have the space).

I’ve started working on my diagrams. I took the opportunity to scale the components correctly and have placed a few items. It’s not final, but I think the sizing is looking good. (I probably won't have the budget for cable trunking; it's impossible to find at a decent price unless you buy a whole pallet). 
Regarding the diagrams, I honestly don’t know much about this. I just made something similar to what I’ve seen, adapting the connections to match the equipment I’m using.
I have 38 lighting circuits. There are still a few things I need to add, but it’s getting late! I’ll probably clean everything up and make it look nice at the end. Maybe! ?

I see new things every day, but I feel like I’m getting close to the finish line! (Well, regarding the shopping list for the hardware.
I’ve never touched anything related to electronics, like ESP32 or Home Assistant.)


Thank you, Regarding the AC, I still need to look into a few things and discuss it with the installers.
