It’s all still a mess . I hate modern shite . Rest api etc. Etc . Old tech with new tech with latest tech , will Apple push tech ( AppleTalk anyone ? ) , with Samsung best tech with Microsoft we are the best . Bloat ware on top of bloat ware . Competing companies don’t communicate to co exist . Never have and never will because it’s not in their individual interest .

For the record . Writing commercial computer games is 1 million times more complex than building a house . Both things I have done .

@SteamyTea unless you are a software engineer- you won’t appreciate how complex things are . putting 10 numbers in order ( bubble sort for example ) path finding from a to b ( dystrias a star algorithm) I can list a million things … worst still is when those are too slow because you need to do them 100k a second . Nothing is easy on a computer . Clicking “ do it “ is easy . Even the code to allow a click , debounce it , repeat etc . Is a lot of work . Software engineering is like god ( not intended to sound arrogant ) you need to design and allow for everything…

That’s because it isn’t that simple ….

Data or address ?

Found their stuff to be crap

Yes . That’s why I was asking ! . I will obviously go and see one . I was asking for someone who has one to comment ; I did say “ I assume “ ….

Turn it on ? . I want to know ( I assume ! ) it looks obvious it’s not a real flame .

You missed Pocster HA Ltd

Best route imho is cat 5 to everything . Then you have all options available for current and future technologies. Then a generic HA control system e.g fibaro Hc , HomeSeer etc etc .

I have a SWMBO that can’t use a light switch - does me head in . HA solves it

I never lie on her rug

Sure . I picked on technology that exists today I.e lots of z wave / zigbee sensors etc . Thread is still new

SWMBO factor taken into account lcd hot air blower ??

Notice also with the macalphine it has a rubber washer for above the tray . Thought it was strange the supplied one had none .

Z wave / zigbee etc. are where you need to be . Depending how technical you wish to be . All HA it currently still basic in terms of plug n work unless you want simple functionality.

Do I still silicone ring to trap then trap to underside ? . Or just fit unbodged first ? ?

I need these ?? For the output to male Rf leads ??

The tv Aerial is boosted yes . But if I get the distribution box as you list is better I’ll order that and drop the booster yes ? . So if I order this - do I need any other connectors / converters for the 1 input and multiple tv outputs ???

I have a TV amp that outputs to a female standard coaxial connector i.e. you you plug the tv aerial into. I wish though to have it plug into the IN on the splitter - but can't work out what fittings/converters I need. Then I need fittings for each output that allow a male standard TV aerial to plug into each of them. I'm getting confused between F connectors/coaxial/BNC etc. etc. Guidance appreciated!

Decided we won’t have a log burner - it’s just wrong for our house and the environment ( understand perfectly though if you are non urban it’s justifiable ) . One of the very few neighbors that talks too me was only to happy to have the timber for their open fire . I have to split it and chop it up for them as they are old and most likely won’t survive the winter and a new Covid mutation ??

Well ! The cover ( what do you call the bit that screws in from above the tray? ) came undone easy - too easy imho . Not touched the trap - but it looks like a decent seal .. ( but isn’t ) . Getting the trap out easy now . Recommendation for a new decent trap etc. - screw fix link appreciated !

Yeah trap supplied with tray . Getting it out is the issue as it’s awkward and trap and metal insert will all be silicone… . Monday I’ll attempt to rip it out . Might try the multi tool under neath to cut the trap in half or something ….

Still leaks ffs ! Now what ? Try getting it out ? Try smearing perhaps tiger seal around the trap to tray joint ? - but as you can see I can’t see the other side of the trap . It’s above beam and block and then beyond it is steel ?

Not virgin but evil Hawaei - so I’m sure the great Chinese nation is interfering in my technological madness . Not a fan of dynamic ip’s . I tend to memorise the common ones . So bathroom ip for example I’ll know - easy to access rather than ‘finding ‘ it’s ip when it goes wrong . Stationary targets easier than a moving one . I’m allowed a little break of IT fun before I’m back to the bricks n mortar .
