Hi,
I'm currently in the process of renovating the downstairs of my house so I'm thinking this might be a good time to build in some smart / home automation. Part of the renovation will create a cupboard in the centre of the house where I'm thinking might make sense to create a central media hub for my kit.
What I currently have in a TV media unit under my TV in the main living room;
What I'm asking for is help to understand whether I should continue to keep all the above housed in the TV media unit within the living room or create a central media hub in the middle of the house. As far as I understand, all of the above, other than the Samsung Soundbar can be housed in the cupboard but am I missing anything?
Thanks

- Virgin Media broadband router
- NETGEAR PoE Switch 5 port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Network Switch
- Eufy 2k video doorbell Homebase
- Virgin Media TV V6 box
- Samsung Frame One Connect boxes (i.e invisible cable from only from TV to media unit)
- Philips Hue Bridge (currently got a number of Philips Hue light bulbs and dimmer switches around the house)
- Samsung Soundbar (HDMI into One Connect box)
- Google Wifi mesh
