Struggled with a suitable title .
I’ve got a door frame fixed in some stud . I can’t screw through into the concrete slab through fear of hitting ufh .
The side the door closes against though is loose- can’t see a way to fix it ( easy to move ) .
So for the moment I made this crude brace . Screwed to the frame then back to the osb wall . Does the job - but you know - there must be a better solution …?
For heating on its own I recommend genius hub .Been using this in 3 properties for years now . Main ‘issue’ is simply replacing batteries .
I guess it all depends how much effort you want to integrate everything into 1
I’ve pretty much done everything you want onto 1 system . Did try a Mac based one ( support was poor ) . Fibaro hc3 , Vera etc .
pc based homeseer appears to be the best . Be prepared for some work and confusion though !
Right ! Then I shall make it so !
The advantages with this method are
no sparky required
can change to zwave /zigbee/matter -whatever myself ( no Din stuff )
Gets the controllers out the IT cupboard so frees up space .
Less wiring back to it cupboard and CU
Which lights are controlled by which controller totally upto me
As we will have a “ Swindon office block “ type ceiling I can alter light placement with ease .
perfection !
Need to start thinking about my kitchen ceiling lights - all HA controlled .
Rather than get a sparky in to add a zwave din and wire all the lights can’t I just wire them in parallel to a ‘ in the ceiling ‘ plug socket . Then I can change my automation z wave to maybe zingbee . No sparky required 😁
Kitchen lights all low wattage led - so no issue off a standard plug socket .
Anything wrong with this plan ??
Whilst late to the party ( busy cleaning up bodily fluids ) . A screen should never face the doorway ! - In coming humans should not see your “ hobbies “ .
I really want a digital tape measure . You know like a traditional measure ( you can hook over the end ) - then I’ve got slightly messy chance of f ups .
