Purchased a new home, got keys yesterday. Two racks of stuff in storage room, wires everywhere, speakers in all rooms, Control4 remote on the wall. Routers in attic, CAT6 jacks everywhere. Three Tivo (? what's that) boxes and switches for video, and coax (who uses that?) sticking from walls everywhere. Magnolia sticker. Stopped by Best Buy, they found some previous owner info and offered "consultation". Sounds not cheap. Nothing works, obviously.
ATT fiber will be there tomorrow to start internet service. I plan to map cat6 wiring and peruse the rack to put my Unify UDM-pro, and switch and put three access points - about 4500ft2 house, and one mesh one for the yard.
Started searching, found this forum. Read it a bit, and have a strong desire to rip out everything and redo, but that multichannel audio looks nice, shame to lose it. And god damn lightning in the house, will take me ages to figure out what goes where and hook up things to Google home app..
Why can't this be simpler?? I do have Ph.D. in physics, with decades of experience working in software industry, and I can't just adjust it myself.. Damn this..
Just a newb rant.
