  1. Yep thats it you end up with H1O instead of H2O
  2. It tasted like the kettle had been boiled cooled down and then boiled again.
  3. One of our customers had one of those, their tea tasted awful
  4. I did think about one in the kitchen for the kettle, but the kettle never has any water in it as we only fill it up with the amount we need, and never refill it straight after use. I nearly bought an app kettle, because it tells me how full it is, but that wont help as Iit still want have water in it so it will only tell me what I already know, I need a app kettle that fills itself. Ive thought about this a fair bit and I just cant think of any use for a wireless socket
  5. All my non light switch lights like the mood lights are low voltage, and either come with RF or IR control so I can turn the room blue, or dim the lights via my broadlink and alexa without the need to switch on a plug
  6. I dont have any sockets, I did have the lightwave RF plug in type, but I found I never had a use for one. Most stuff I can control via ir, or low voltage wireless relays or 433 switch
  7. You get nothing for two in a bed.............not in this game!
  8. Wireless buttons
  9. Sorry I didnt look that close I said mine are similar heres a link for one with no neutral Ill post a pic of mine in a minhttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Smart-Wifi-Touch-Wall-Switch-No-Neutral-Required-1-2-3-Gang-UK-SELLER/164050287240?var=463672810618&hash=item263228ba88:g:VNoAAOSwFzdev~vb
  10. No neutral required
  11. I recommend backing access up to a usb or server everytime they make a change, or add a card. That way if the hdd goes or the system falls over, its just install software on new machine and run backup, and all they lose is the journal
  12. I imported the light switch's from China I used to buy a lot of CCTV directly I buy very little now. There are a few different ones on ebay, but most dont do two way for hall and landing where you need to switch either light from upstairs or downstairs for example. The ones I imported have a wireless switch that looks the same as the normal switches, so rooms that have two light switch's have a wireless one at one end. Mine are similar to the Sonoff switches https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sonoff-T3-EU-1Gang-Smart-WiFi-Wireless-Touch-Switch-Wall-Light-Remote/293588175534?hash=item445b380aae:m:mKb5butd_BuZhQ7hDIl-K6Q
  13. Hub wise I would recommend one of these you dont need an internet connection for your stuff to work, unless of course you are using Alexa Hubitat hub: https://hubitat.com/products
  14. I wouldnt use wireless for security if it can be wired, especially CCTV. If you run Cat 5 to your camera positions you can either POE them (better but more expensive) or if your on a budget you can use AHD cameras with Baluns. I would also advise running cables for the intruder and a couple of cat 5 to the TV point that way you can use HDMI over cat5 to the tv from the recorder. All my light switch's are 433 similar to the Lightwave ones (I used to have lightwave ones but having a button for on and a button for off was too complicated for my keyholder) I have outputs on my alarm hard wired to 433 transmitters, same with the CCTV, and I have a 433 receiver wired to a zone programed as keyswitch for arm only, so I can get alexa to arm the alarm, but she cant switch it off.
  15. There are several alarm companies that offer automation and security. It all depends on your budget really. Many alarm manufacturers are playing catchup, but they do have to jump through several more hops than the DIY market. Many like Risco and Pyronix try to market to both trade and DIY and to some degrees they do hit that market. Personally I have a separate home automation system to my security, but I have some integration. The intruder controls my house lights, my CCTV controls my external lights, my home automation can arm the alarm but it cannot disarm the alarm. Anything that can be hacked should not be able to disarm your alarm.
  16. Because your now just a public member, and we have to pay for the comfy seats in the mod lounge
  17. I would guess that wire was unused then
  18. Normans were French? and thats a horny hat not a horn one
  19. I dont think you will find any vikings called Roger, they will have names like Harald, Svend and Knud
  20. Cus it keeps his mum on her toes when she's cooking his nuggets and chips
  21. Only one previous owner
  22. There are probably many wires that are not used inside a control panel do a bell test if it works then its not a bell wire. Then set it if it sets then its likely not a wire in use
  23. Its most likely a short between tamper and circuit, are there any spare cores on the cable?
  24. Bizzarly I thought of that when his name popped up the other day its funny what you remember about people QFA
