Nowadays, many smart devices can be easily retrofitted and operated by radio. Nevertheless, a smart home still needs a lot of cables for a variety of reasons. Not all components can be operated with rechargeable batteries or batteries – this is especially true for control centers and lamps in floor lamps. Most of the devices used for control also require electricity – regardless of whether it is a smartphone, tablet, remote control or a smart button.
Cables are also often still in demand for data transmission. A LAN connection is usually indispensable for the control center; in the case of some smart speakers, it is at least preferable to the WLAN network if reception is poor. This sometimes leads to another problem: a lack of LAN ports and sockets. Distribution solutions, in turn, require more space and also need to be stowed away properly.
