    Air brick

    As I have to run my ‘air brick ‘ via a duct to the underground ceiling was thinking of placing it here . Will it look ‘odd’ being so low ? . Admittedly I choose a ‘look at me’ cone for it rather than a cheap white plastic grill .
  2. Think I’ll add a few more straps !
  3. Hmmmm I reckon maybe 60kg https://www.inchcalculator.com/pipe-volume-calculator/
  4. Yeah I was wondering that ! . Might just half fill it ......
  5. Ensuite sink and bathroom sink & bath wastes connected to main pipe . Black tiger seal on white pipe a bit messy ? Monday when this is all set will block the drain outside and fill up the entire pipe with water ; then leave overnight to test for leaks . Added a few more metal support straps also .
  6. No ambition ! Human pushes door bell . ip cameras records said human activity and stores that as a seperate movie . Ipad screen downstairs then shows video of person at the door . Underground dwelling human then if they wish can press icon on iPad screen to unlock door or not . If said underground dwelling human isn’t actually in the house his phone shows up camera of potential imposter . Unlock door remotely or ignore ? Why make things hard ? HA !!!
  7. I got it working ! Sensor will never change state BUT ! when the button is pressed and creates an open circuit it also causes the sensor to send it’s status . Though it’s status never changes I can act on the fact it’s status was sent I.e status is only sent on button press !
  8. Hang on ! That doesn’t make sense - erm ?
  9. The more I think about this the more I don’t think it will work how I want . I *think* I need to alter the actual doorbell button . It’s powered for its Led ; when pressed I assume makes an open circuit - which the sensor needs . But then the sensor isn’t powered ? Maybe .... Back to 2 psu’s ? . One so sensor constantly powered . Then sensor in1 just gets connected to door button gnd .Other for door button so it can go ‘open’ on being pressed ? I’ve confused myself again !
  10. Ok ! Not quite there ! Got the resistors . Put one on the + output 12v . Psu doesn’t short now . So button push illuminated . When pressed not illuminated- all great . The fibaro input sensor doesn’t change state though ( its always on ) . I put the in1 sensor on ground ( which runs to psu , button push switch ) . That’s correct isn’t it ??
  11. I have wired radial for lighting and mains just so it’s easier for me to isolate problems . Any device ( say a heater in a bathroom ) goes radial back to a z wave din . Whilst you may be against more EM z wave is your friend ( though I power everything poe - forget batteries ) . Unlike some states in the US we do seem adverse to home automation. Raspberry pi / Mac are all good . I think why it’s not fine here is most people can’t think of more than a motion sensor turns a light on - that’s the extent of HA for them . The restriction is your imagination ( and money and patience )
  12. I am the upstand master ! ( That doesn’t mean I know anything mind ) . For my walk on glazing ( stop laughing ) I had some firrings made to generate the fall . To insulate the upstand I’ll line it internally with aerogel.
  13. External white lagging https://insulationandlagging.co.uk/Pipe-Insulation-Lagging/External-Pipe-Insulation_2/2m-Length-13mm-Wall-12mm-Bore-Eurobatex-R-Tough-White-Coated-Pipe-Insulation
  14. I’ll 90 it then pipe down the external wall
  15. All done . I’ll just glue a 90 on the end outside . What’s the best way to patch round the hole ? Or is the answer white ct1 ?
  16. The parts supplied for the drain don’t fit ( always worries me when official parts don’t seem right ) Anyway this is the drain ( yes , the arrow is facing the right direction ? ) . Green X marks my drill hole to the outside world
  17. Super ! Makes an easy job easier ! ?
  18. About too look at installing this . Seems simple enough . Am I ok to run it straight through my timber frame wall and outside ? . This would be *much* easier than trying to get it to the internal drain . Any issues with this ?
  19. Should be banned for that !
  20. Added a UPS to the Nas . Probably run a few other things off it like poe router and home automation cpu
