Hi
As part of a full house refurb, I'm thinking about star wiring my lighting circuits back to relays or dimmers in a central cupboard, and star wiring the switches separately, back to the same place and then controlling everything with a raspberry pi or some other hub.
Are there other people who have successfully taken this approach? I don't see that much discussion of it, other than in the context of things like Loxone.
I would love to use Loxone but suspect it is outside my budget, so am trying to replicate the approach with lower cost components. I know it could be done, but given it's my lighting, it does need to be reliable and can't just be hacked together.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Peter
