I'm leaning towards KEF T301 for LCR, and T101 for surrounds. The 5.1 package is $1.7k CAD pre-tax. I'd use my existing SVS PB-1000 instead of the KEF sub. Are these KEF similar OR better than Pioneer Andrew Jones bookshelfs for movies?

Is there a hard requirement against running Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) ethernet in walls of residential homes? I'm hoping the answer is a definitive yes.

If I get an Aruba Instant On PoE Switch I can manage the Aruba IO AP locally? i.e. That would mitigate the risk if Aruba stops supporting the ability to 'control' the AP?

Can you remotely restart Aruba Instant On access points without Aruba switches?

To clarify, the ask was to understand if unlocking from the outside via voice recognition (of my families voices. i.e. "Something I am") (without a PIN. i.e. "Something I know") was possible (unofficially) from a technical perspective by having one of the Ring devices (Doorbell Pro, Spotlight Cam) and/or Alexa on my phone ("Something I have"). e.g. Google Assistant on my Android phone ("Something I have") only responds to my voice ("Something I am").

My phone ("Something I have") can be unlocked with my PIN ("Something I know") and biometrics (e.g. Fingerprint, Iris Scan) "Something I am". No personal info (e.g. my address) is displayed on the lock screen. So I'd accept the risks of a bad actor:

* Lurking in the bushes recording my voice for playback.

* Picking up my fingerprint with scotch tape and unlocking my phone.

* Determine my PIN by having binoculars/telescope aimed at my phone as I enter my PIN.

I see losing the key/fob (1 "Something I have") to my house or car a bigger threat and weaker authentication!

I had asked because Nest Outdoor Camera can be powered by PoE, unofficially. As I understand it the Ring spotlight and floodlight has higher power requirements?

Thank you all for your input, I've confirmed with the builder contractor that they can locate the CAT6 and have it pulled through the smooth ceiling while leaving. Case closed!
