Hi Yuri, You missed another important advantage of having the automation gear in a separate switchboard..
When you come to sell the house, if you do, you can rip it all out and get a sparky to put standard bus-bars into the automation cabinet to take it back to a normal house. Home automation systems are not attractive to home buyers unless they are geeks, and lets face it, we're a minority. Even having comprehensive structured cabling in a house can be seen as a negative by realestate agents and a fair percentage of 'Average' buyers. Cheers, Me.
