I like IP's because I group things in ranges e.g. iPads are 192.168.8.50 -> 60 pi's 192.168.8.100 -> 130 etc. etc.

Excuse me! As an ex software engineer I know where my Mac's are coming from ?

This was driving me mad! So I boot 1 raspberry pi at a time. It gets whatever IP address the DHCP server decides. SSH into it and edit dhcpd.conf (I think ). Few lines to get it a fixed IP address ( for everything else I set the fixed IP off the MAC in the router - as it's simpler ). Have to do it this way - otherwise I can't tell what the hell's going on!. But as others have said all devices MUST have a unique Mac address when manufactured .....

Wasn’t brave enough to ct1 it so used silicone . Between trap and rubber ring then between ring and tray . Will test tomorrow ?

Same as mine ???? ( I am joking btw !!! )

Same as mine ??????

Yeah I know - but something is confused

It was a zero - though I have all variations ??

Yeah I detect router / switch are getting confused . But even powering off one pi . Reboot router / switch still shows same MAC address on different pi ! ?

I know that. But it's a bit tricky when multiple PI's have the same MAC address

I should point out when I 'swap' between these 2 it's the same physically connection on the switch. But that shouldn't matter should it?. Google isn't helping me

I always thought these were unique. But it would seem not. 2 raspberry pi's - same mac address. I've rebooted router/switch - still shows the same!!!. I want to give a unique fixed IP to each one ( based on the supposed unique IP address ) but it would seem I can't. Even unplugged one; reboot everything - still the same MAC address!. I thought the whole point of MAC was unique - what do I do!!!????

I was going to run a cable length to each light individually - because I like a mess of cabling

That's all the are in essence with an electric fan heater. I'd need to go to a show room first; to see one.

Yeah I know. But still seems wrong with an energy efficient house and the world dying.

They're pretty smart also. Not quite sure what I'd cook in the small oven though ?

Oooooo. You can recess into the wall and be a trendy mo-fo. More I look more I like. Anyone interested in lots of dry wood ? comes with FREE walk on glazing!

It's only a short run. 6 metres or so. I've got a gert big hole in the wall already which I intended to use.

So I look for nice fancy electric thingies. Sure enough I find some ( ignoring £££ ). https://premiumfire-uk.napoleon.com/products/purview-60?gclid=Cj0KCQiAhf2MBhDNARIsAKXU5GQYrF68Kd6wPZYZghCV_BfsHXPMwLba_rUKk8mGAKR5fJr7CkHKEo4aAnOQEALw_wcB

Agree. In the stick's no problem. In a city it does feel irresponsible for such a visual 'effect'. Only 1 planet earth.....

Yeah it's the bad bits (PM) that I guess I am thinking of. SWMBO might be persuaded for some electric 'flame effect' fire (FFS) but I'm not convinced . Really want something I can stick someone's hand in and burn them for punishment.

Things like this make me rethink "Just 8% of the UK population make up the emissions released by burning wood indoors. The Guardian found that half of those people preferred this method for aesthetic reasons rather than functional (heat) purposes. In response, Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation urged people to only use wood burners if they had no alternative source of heat."

I was under the impression is was all bad now.... Sure it was on the bbc - but can't find the item. But found this.... https://www.savemoneycutcarbon.com/learn-save/are-wood-burning-stoves-bad-for-the-environment/

Perfect - loads of spare ufh pipe etc.

I can thread it through conduit no issue. Can't fix it to anything as it crosses my magic underground hell hole.
