• interesting, may have to look into that. I really should take some photos of my setup, I have;

    In cupboard upstairs
    1 x Router
    1 x 48 port switch
    1 x 8 port POE switch (powers the on ceiling access points)
    1 X master sky q box which links via cat6 to TV in lounge
    1 x mini sky q box which links to master bedroom via cat 6
    1 x mini sky q box which links to 2 x bedrooms, kitchen and office, via cat 6 and special splitter
    4 x mini amps, each with a hardwired chromecast audio, each linking to a different room in the house via hardwired speaker cable

    Then in my office I have a qnap 4 bay NAs with 32tb of storage, linked to a mac mini which works as my plex server.

    Then dotted through the house are 3 x google home mini and one standard Google Home. Also have 2 x Nests, one controls hot water & middle floor, the other controls ground floor underfloor heating and loft room heating.

    Smart lighting and switches are next on my list...

  • Sorry missed this... I am currently using Lepy 2024a, not the most powerful, but for running cheap speakers for music to have on whilst doing over things they are perfect. Chrome cast are powered separately as I am using Ethernet adapters as the chromecasts didn’t play nicely with my Wi-fi.
