Dies das #33! (Was abging) ElektroM

Summary

The video is a roundup of recent renovation and electrical projects. The creator says he will no longer show the new old-building renovation in detail because personal items are now visible, but shares selected updates and lessons from other jobs.

Old-building renovation

He shows mirror lighting, outdoor sockets, hallway and kitchen lighting, and changes to the stairwell lighting. He also describes moving the meter cabinet out of the stairwell and replacing older electrical equipment. The kitchen was self-planned and built, though some of the cabinets and the oven are not perfectly aligned.

Outdoor doorbell and network

An outdoor video doorbell was connected using Power over Ethernet (PoE). The customer can view visitors and receive notifications on a phone, with indoor screens and plug-in chimes providing additional alerts.

The creator also discusses Ethernet termination and the differences between T568A and T568B wiring. Mixing the two standards can swap the orange and green pairs.

Home networking

Network cables were installed to the attic so a mobile router could be placed where reception is better. The connection is distributed through a switch to wired access points on different floors. Fiber-optic service was also prepared for a future connection.

Apartments and photovoltaic system

Two apartments were completed with new metering equipment and a roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) system with an inverter and battery storage. The creator describes the Growatt installation as tidy and likes its overall design. He has not yet compared its app visualization with that of the Anker Solix Solarbank 3 Pro, which he says had recently received an update.

PV installation and connector issue

The creator recounts a separate self-installed system where an unsuitable crimping tool and an incompatible cable-and-connector combination led to high contact resistance and a burned connector. He stresses the importance of using compatible PV connectors and appropriate tools.

He says he handles PV registration only within the local utility areas where he works.

Roofing

The roofing work included planning and fitting PV mounting hooks while laying tiles. Their positions can be marked using the roof-tile spacing and adjusted with the mounting slots.

Other electrical work

The video also covers a new hallway outlet, fiber-optic routing, mailbox and doorbell-label updates, and work on another home’s meter cabinet, riser cables, and distribution board. The creator comments on older wiring, improvised past installations, and the challenges of renovating while preserving existing walls and finishes.

DIY projects

Several customers or homeowners completed parts of their own renovations, such as cable routing and wall preparation. The creator describes correcting or finishing some of this work and notes that electrical installation and testing require appropriate expertise.

Reviews and guides

There is no dedicated product review or step-by-step tutorial. The video is primarily a project update, with practical commentary on wiring, networking, PV installation, and renovation decisions.

Main speaker and source

The video is presented by ElektroM, who describes his own work and shares conversations and experiences involving customers, homeowners, and energy suppliers.
