Home assistant voice hardware
Pocster replied to Pocster's topic in Networks, AV, Security & Automation
Ok Nabu!

The problem I found ( with tenants ) is if say a trv drops off the network then you need to attend to add it back in ; I.e guests won’t do it . Also anything battery powered can be an issue . If you live nearby then less of an issue .
-
Or I suppose if you have home assistant anyway you could just grab trv’s , actuators , thermostats etc yourself - cheap as chips from AliExpress etc .
-
I have used geniushub on some properties for years . Worth looking into that also .
-
Don’t think so . Before my issues they were horizontal ( with a slight fall ) . That worked fine for 4 yrs . Also 1 set were supplied with the mvhr and the 90 goes straight to the drain outlet - so assumption is ( as supplied by vent axia ) that it’s ok .
-
This turned into a pita . Trying to get both traps to run towards the wall and into a tee . Just wasn’t going to happen . Not enough space . So took the not so dignified approach ( open to ridicule for sure ) and made the traps run towards me - easier for sure .

Thats what I said to the girl

Yeah but first it was a bit of tiger seal. Then it was get the boss off Now it’s cut the (expletive deleted)er out ! Me no likey 🫤
-
I sent a photo to a plumbing company … They suggested that if it is welded almost no chance of getting it off . So , cut out a section of the main drain would be easier …. See ! It’s becoming more and more work !
-
Well that’s it isn’t it . Start removing this and it’s a one way ticket to fun . Hence me ‘thinking’ about it a lot first …
-
Google suggests a multi tool and cut it out - then sand /file around the hole ( guess it would now have a good key ) . Often the cement as @Onoff mentioned gets used . Think that gives a better seal rather than runny thin glue . As the 2nd wrongly placed boss looks definitely like it’s been tiger sealed ; I’ll assume this one also .
-
I probably used tiger seal because it gives me more than 7 seconds of play . I had problems before on other pipework where it was impossible to solvent weld conventionally - just can’t get it all in and lined up in those 7 seconds .
-
This is what I’m wondering . I can’t remember if welded and then tiger seal when it leaked OR just tiger seal ( so would come off )
-
Does this dry in 7 seconds like normal solvent glue ?
-
Hang on ! It was welded ( I think ) - then gunked . I might be wrong was some years ago … 🙄 If welded and gunked will it come off nicely ??? 🤔
-
I did do it right first time. It was just that its life span was 2 years....
-
Yep. I'll hear that 'drip' at some point in the future for sure......
-
🙃 I'll prepare a big list of jobs for you! Seriously; very kind offer of you @joe90
-
You really want me to do this don’t you ! 🤣 I’ll tiger seal it again . Then when it leaks again I’ll get a plumber in to do it ; will tell him some cowboy (expletive deleted)ed it up !
-
Filled up the sink . Let it all go in one ; so pump is busy . Ran round , up ladder - watched . Saw 1 drip - couldn’t see exactly where it came from . As this has been fine for 2 yrs I think it is the pump causing the pipe to vibrate / thud and hence weakening any seal . Could ( once I’ve smeared more tiger seal round the joint ) maybe clamp the white waste pipe to something to restrict any ‘bump’ movement
-
I caulk . Then when it cracks find the smallest narrowest trim I can and stick that up
-
Thats how my mega steel was like …

When to change build insurance to home insurance
Pocster replied to Gaz Bancroft's topic in New House & Structural Warranties
Once I got my completion certificate I just called up my insurer , changed to ‘normal’ insurance and of course my annual premium dropped so they refunded that . They never asked for any proof on completion . Also my self build insurance at the time allowed for occupation . -
I would appear spell check does !
