Simple and clean home automation project needs your help...

Then I still have to move the 50 inputs in an easy way from one board to another. What kind of hardware is used for that ?

50-way ribbon cable.

But when you swap all the controlled devices in the house will turn off (or on depending on the wiring).

Would you say this is redundant enough ?

Well you're thinking along the right track in some ways, but what about my example of the push button light switch, how do you operate a light (or any other device) if the system is broken?
