but it's silly b/c you have to apply so much thumb pressure, whereas the pliers can use actual leverage

or are you using some sort of japan fiber
Thanks. That'll be really useful when it's time to hang cameras. Keystone jacks are what really get me. I haven't been able to get the "toolless" ones to work. The only type that I've been able to successfully use are https://amzn.asia/d/00ktl0B2. The main problem with them however is if you don't trim the wires just right, the connection becomes spotty.

Nice. The pro is also much bigger ace uglier than the non pro, too. I'm planning to add access control as well. We already have a smart door with steel or aluminum frame, so I can't add an electric strike. I have to build a micro controller add connect it to the door as home assistant to made it work. Thank goodness some jap, who is much smarter me, posted a walkthrough.
Access control may be a fun tinker project down the road. I'll have ethernet there with the doorbell...

Also considering running some drops to to windows along with a low voltage run. We don't have any plans to do automatic shades right now but I can think of a couple of spots where it may be nice to have in the future.
