What a mission it’s been to get all this hardware installed. Really thankful it’s done, but I think I’m a bit scared from how painful it’s been to pull and route Ethernet cable in this 1950s Australian house.
The worst was POE for the doorbell. I ended up cutting out a square in the doorframe using a multitool and managing to snake a cable behind the weatherboard up into the loft, which needed a few of the roof tiles to come off. That was an absolute mission. It took maybe four hours, a lot of swearing, and a few trips to the hardware store.
The second and third worst were the lounge AP, which needed us to take the metal roof off to route cabling, and the driveway camera, where we found a leak had compromised all the plasterboard.
The POE chime installation was an absolute breeze.
Still… all done now and happy with the results. Just need to deal with the itch to buy another camera for the back garden and hard wire a few more devices around the house.

As I like to say, hardwire all the things (that you even remotely reasonably can).
Nice job on managing to run all that cabling in Oz.
Nice job!
