Building a Smart Home Control Panel - Featuring Loxone

[@diamondhoodgem]

I wish my Loxone panel looked that neat, love the content, keep up the good work!

[@beeautomation]

I’m sure it’s no way as bad as some of the panels I’ve seen out there 😂 … thanks so much for the kind words mate.

[@tamaskovats]

may I ask what ABB product the surface mounted box 18:25 into the video is, which has the Loxone Touch built into?

[@nickthorley1]

I'm technical but not an electrician so I would love a rack component diagram so that I could look up each part and investigate the connections to understand the wiring better. Is anything like that possible / available?

[@efixx]

Part fingerless gloves are they a thing?

[@beeautomation]

They're all the rage! :D ... they don't keep your fingerless fingers warm though.

Nice work. Just a small (stupid) question, how do you (easily) remove the blue/white of orange/white cables out of the Loon modules, without breaking the cable. (leaving cable in the connector) Is it a matter of turning the cable (90 degrees left and richt) while pulling the out of the connector? Thanks

[@9plusinstalaciones]

Looks Awesome

[@beeautomation]

Thanks mate 😊👍🏼

[@PaulSmithies-yz1nu]

Looks like you could do with some far infrared heaters there Chris.

Is that cable suitable to deliver 40A???

[@jamesmelville6201]

Thanks for your videos, very useful! You mention terminating cat5 in the weed Muller blue blocks, when would you do that? And do you ever separate out control and power cables in the trunking or is interference never a problem? Cheers!

[@trecords2]

Do each of the socket, light and different kind of sensor have separate wire directly from control panel? It makes huge amount of cabeling))) Is this possible tochave one main control panel and have small control panels for eachcroom and connect all control panels by data lines to main control panel?

Hello Chris I will be attending a LOXONE course soon and I was wondering how the job offers are for working in this type of programming in England. I am an electrician and this is my first serious course in home automation. Regards

[@maikel371]

whats the software that you use to layout your boxes and also how do you make easy to understand wiring schematics?

[@verboeq]

You know those Weidmuller Potential Distribution Blocks are only rated to 17.5A right? So to be clear you have a 40A immersion going through a terminal block rated to 17.5A?

Love the videos, keep up the good work mate, Got my loxone training at the end of February, have got the starter kit but not had a chance to play with it yet, any tips?

[@beeautomation]

Hey Paul, thanks mate appreciate it! I’ve actually got a video I need to upload talking about the starter kit… watch this space. Make sure you mount all the kit on a Dinrail connected to a piece of wood.. much easier to wire and work with then 😉👍🏼

[@paulescott4789]

@@beeautomation cheers mate, want to get into the automation side alot more now so may pick your brains in the near future if that's ok 👍

[@beeautomation]

@@paulescott4789 anytime mate 👍🏼

[@arifchannachannel]

Panel is easy like Easywork. It's ok level all wires and joints

[@mael2903]

Hi ,would you have any link or photo for the iiksa bridges ?

[@beeautomation]

Sure… portal.iiksa.com

[@FPV-Areal]

Hi, the link is not working. I can not find the bridge you mentioned.

[@twinsdustlessblasting1815]

Hi mate, What's the make of the rail enclosure or frame used for the project ?

[@beeautomation]

It's by a company called Future Automation and it's an LXN 3

[@codyoftheinternet]

Lol confused American Engineer entered the chat: the colors confused the heck out of me but I love your wire work! It looks very clean! Very satisfying!

[@KrixBrothers]

I tried to look it up but I couldnt find it anywhere online, where teh MCB-s are going? Before or after the Loxone relay. If the input of the relays are chained together all are on the same MCB?

[@beeautomation]

Before... it might go something like this - 1. 230v 2. MCB 3. Relay supply

[@MetTurtle818]

More loxone content 🙏

[@beeautomation]

Thanks for your feedback Greg… there’s some in the pipeline, just needs editing 😉

[@sinalek79]

Out of interest which terminal block did you use here?

[@beeautomation]

I think they were WAGO 2003-7646

[@SoulfishYork]

Out of interest what are you using for your panel diagrams/wiring diagrams?

[@beeautomation]

I use ProgeCAD for schematics and Excel for the terminal block layouts 👍🏼

Automation wiring diagram pdf send

[@beeautomation]

It’s in the post 🙂👍🏼
