Perfect

You can keep the gag ; but I’ll certainly take the girl

Of course it does ! We need something SWMBO proof I.e it requires no action on her part

I think so . The issue then is getting the HA too see it .

I’m tempted to go down the route of adding an ASUS mesh hub outside ( in a plastic box ) . Fairly confident then that I can detect a device connected to my WiFi . Will somehow need to know when SWMBO has entered the property to turn the light off . As I have an ASUS mesh at least for now I can experiment. Feels a bit overkill though multiple Ssids ?

You are making the assumption SWMBO will take the head torch with her !! 🙄 Also that’s too easy a solution

Leave to dry throughly . I’ve seen phone / laptops dropped in toilets or covered in soup recover . Ultimately though some stuff will be written off 😞

Lane entrance to our house is pitch black at night . Whilst I could put a pir light up I’m not keen on helping the neighbors. Quite happy for them to fall on a dark winters evening and their corpse laying rotting in the bleakness . Anyway ( and more importantly ) SWMBO finds it too dark ! So I was thinking of a method to identify swmbo ( presumably based on her having her phone on her ) . Doesnt need to be accurate - but work reliably . Anyone tried any geo fence type technology ? . The lane is too far from my router ( so can’t use that as a recognised connection point ) . Some kind of basic sensor embedded in the wall in the lane ?? Ideas welcome ! ( I love doing things like this ! )

That’s what I said - 7 yrs ago 🤣

I have batteries . But if I didn’t would have ups

To add My rainwater Zoellar pumps are at 2 different heights in a pit I.e lower than my basement floor . I have a HA sensor on the higher one - that informs me if it comes on . As it’s higher it should *never* come on as the lower one should trigger first . So if it gets activated I know the primary pump has an issue . You need a proper approach to this - with multiple fail safes .

Right ! This was always my fear ! I have 2 sumps with high water alarm for grey / sewage water . Hi water alarm is audible but also linked to my HA . I also have 2 on Zoellar pumps for rainwater . I tested lots of pumps ! They all failed for various reasons . Zoellar are easily the best . Not cheap . Flooding is the thing that cannot happen. . I bought from https://www.sumpsandpumpsdirect.co.uk Don’t cut corners on this - bolts ‘n’ braces and then some . My configuration would require 4 pumps to fail before any flooding would occur .

That’s my policy !

Ah ! Didn’t realise that ! . As you say ; eventually could rival fibre …

I wonder …. Does starlink function as a mesh ? I.e if your satellite is knocked out of action ( by failure or deliberately ) does it simply re route to another node / satellite ??

Really !!! Christ - that is bodge x 1000 😁

Does this for me . Oh and it’s correct 😁

I always purchase things like this from Amazon - because it's easy to return 😁

Ir's easy. With Asus for example you just run a cat5 to each hub - then back to the central hub ( not through a switch ) then into your router. You've then got a wired wifi access point. You then change the mode of Asus to access point - that's pretty much it. So in Asus futuristic looking app - you can see what's connected (wired or wifi ) and you can see that the backhaul is also wired. Depending on your house though you may need numerous hubs - I manage well with 3.

Not familiar with air cube . Assumed it’s a cut down UniFi type thing . Basic throttling you would of thought would be in there somewhere …. I find a sledgehammer to an Xbox will limit download speeds .

Tried ubiquiti , then orbi - no joy . ASUS though - perfect !

The ubitique interface I thought had throttling support I.e you can limit bandwidth to a particular device ????

Sorry mis read the ‘n’ as an ‘h’

Ah (expletive deleted) it ! I’ll pack it out with window packers then foam it . Quality !
