I kind of like the document but I'm struggling with all the cookies given that its hosted on xda-developers.com. In the eat your own dogfood kind of way.. Do you have your own host that you could serve this up from? Wordpress?

AliExpress some ZigBee light switches. They arent connected to anything but through Openhab you use them to swtch ZigBee light switches that replace your existing switches.
Really useful thanks. Definitely sounds like I will be thinking about the Cable Cat more carefully.
The specs for latest versions of POE go up to 60-100W which is way beyond what I expected. Is that just still running over normal Ethernet or should I be looking for specifically rated stuff?
Ah so I started with this and got stuck. I was struggling adding existing layers which already had relevant features.
Maybe we could chat and see if I can have another go.
I was debating running Ethernet and a separate pair of cables for 12DC - Thinking maybe I might need thicker cables for USB-C levels of power and / having separate USB faceplates but looking again I think everything could run on Ethernet and then just decide / change what i put on the end.
Yeah .. Definitely will put conduits in .
So a bit more thinking on this.
Looking at https://community.fs.com/article/understanding-poe-standards-and-poe-wattage.html POE could probably do a lot more than a few watts and could t feels like I could use POE to provide power for most of my devices providing cabled connection and power in one.
On the input side of things one idea I had was if I was running 12v DC on a separate cable run to power that I could have a battery / solar panel providing an independent supply since our 230v AC is strung from poles and does trip in bad weather.
Using POE does complicate that slightly I would have to find injectors that I could take that input and then extractors for USB, RJ45 and 12VDC output.
On the positive side of thing it would mean I could really reduce the number of 230 VAC sockets I would be putting around the house with just kitchen and laundry needing them.
Im also considering doing lightning at 12V LED rather than 230V
Yeah .. I am nothing that many plugins i looked at had source code available bit then when I looked further it was for the basic version while they offered a.pro version which was paid.
I guess in these situations you need to dig into the licencing to find out where you stand.
Perhaps also I am just too new to Wordpress to know the popular open source addons
Haha nah man. Its good. I mean random guy walks in and asks 'wheres the good stuff'? And oh Ive never given someone a.short sharp respone?
Anyway what are your recommendations for Events and Forms? Im going to look at CiviCRM. ActivityPub plugin is going in today hopefully and Im starting Learn Wordpress. No idea about workflows for content editors.

Yeah ok the wording was a bit blase and Im new to the group so Ill take the burn..but Im working for free on a community group website. Im aware that there are great communities out there doing amazing work on Opensource projects. I like to find them use and learn about them and then contribute however I can. (e.g Very keen Openstreetmaper) I was just feeling lost when i kept finding sites that said open source but then had PRO versions.
I'm not going to provide an answer here but more a point and perhaps complicate things a little more - With ActivityPub and other open Federated protocols - The Platform that you use and the client that you select can be different. I use a Mastodon account and Friendica account with FediLab as my mobile client. I guess you are looking for the feature set and then UI for both Desktop and Mobile.
