One-Bedroom Apartment Wiring Examples

This page shows the recommended wiring for a one-bedroom apartment built on the PIERRE Pro wired system. Everything controlled is wired back to the apartment's distribution board, where the controller sits.

What Runs to the Controller

• Lighting circuits, including any circuit that will be dimmed.
• Wall switches and buttons.
• Blind and curtain motors.
• Heating and cooling actuators, and the room temperature sensor.
• The entrance door lock and the door contact.
• Any socket that needs to be switched.

Wiring Principle

Star wiring: each point has its own cable to the board, with nothing looped from one point to the next. This is what allows the function of a switch or a circuit to be changed later in software instead of by rewiring.

Planning Notes

• Size the distribution board for the controller, the power supply and the outgoing terminals, plus reserve. In a one-bedroom apartment board space is the usual constraint.
• Keep low-voltage signal cables on a route separated from the mains cables.
• Label every cable at both ends during the first fix.
• Run spare cables to the positions most likely to be extended — the hallway, the entrance and the balcony door.
