Installed Stuff:
Mains Box

Other than in Munich, the Mains Box in Cadolzburg contains all necessary modules in one central place. All house wires end up here. Don't ask how many wires I had to pull around the house for this...
The box itself is screwed against an old chimney in the attic.

 

There are 6 LD11 DIN Rail Dimmers and 9 AD10 DIN Rail Switches mounted into the Mains Box.
Most of the switches are used for the blinds control. My blinds don't support the X-10 protocol directly, so I am using the X-10 switches to control a couple of intermediate relais which then control the blinds. Complicated, but effective :)

Most of the lights in the house are controlled by the dimmers.
The two TM13 Transceiver-Module are responsible for the control of the lights and blinds. The CM11 Computer Interface is directly connected to the main HA server.
