More wiring...

Another weekend spent installing wires. This time, while waiting for delivery of another 250 feet of speaker wire, I went ahead and started installing the rough-ins for the temperature and humidity sensors and microphones on the main level. I also drilled another hole through the outer wall of the house but this time in the rear wall. I attached a weather-proof enclosure to the hole on the outside in which I'll install terminals for outdoor speakers and temperature and humidity sensors. (I'll drill small holes to allow some air to pass through.)

A few pictures...

The projector screen wall with wires for left, centre, right speakers and subwoofer.

Bundle of wires running from the utility room. They include speaker wires, CAT-5 for the sensors, and microphone cables.


The rough-in for temperature and light sensor (on left) and the microphone installed in the kitchen. These microphones were designed originally to be used for conference rooms and are sensitive to human vocal frequencies which makes them ideal for voice recognition applications. For the temperature and ambient light sensor, I'll drill tiny holes in the plate and install the sensors in the wall behind it.
