Hello everyone,
I am looking to get some answers on how to start planning for a smart home in North America.
Our power supply here is 120V 60hz and we currently have a Siemens Breaker Panel.
According to the Electrical Code a power distribution box needs CSA approval (Canada).
Can I use the Kincony box with 16 channels?
I would like to control lights and a few outlets.
The electrician is pulling new dedicated wires for the lights I would like to control individually.
The standard cables we use here are 14/2 Romex.
Can I install the kincony box in between the breaker box and wiring of the house?
What type of cable do I connect to kincony box, regular 14/2 romex?
I would like to use the following as well:
Sensors for gas leak
Sensors for water level
Sensors for humidity and temperature
Sensors for motion
Sensors for contact at doors and windows
Do you know where to buy for good price and good quality that would work with kincony system?
Can the sensors be hardwired or are there wireless options?
How many of them can I use? 3x water sensors & 3 gas sensors?
Side question
What is the best camera to use for local recording with Ethernet powered capabilities?
Maybe used with NAS?
I am also looking for light switches that could work with kincony system. Minimalistic but intelligent functionality like dimming and programmable.
I hope someone can help me walk in the right direction.
Thank you.
