True . You can be the queen

Gave you a ‘sad’ for that - because it’s the type of thing I would have posted .

Gutter mate for the win !

Some of these diverters come with a flexible pipe to the tank . The photos suggest the down pipe fitting is higher than the inlet into the tank . So it will fill ok with rain . But I see quite a few comments relating to tank overflowing when full rather than back into diverter and into down pipe . Just seems a bit unclear which systems work ( assuming installed correctly of course ! )

So you get these things that connect to your down pipe to fill a water butt . Unless you add a seperate overflow it would seem the tank will overflow once full . I guess if you get the height / level exact it will fill on rain and not overflow when full . Seems a bit hit / miss . What about a diverter from the down pipe and an overflow back into the same down pipe ?

Invest in pocsterAI ; it’s the best . Not a (expletive deleted)ing clue , doesn’t ‘lie’ just doesn’t get the facts ; won’t kill humanity. Be on Dragons Den soon for Deborah meads questions yr 1 : profit (expletive deleted) all yr 2: profit 12k yr 3: profit 100 billion 10% of my BS company for 10 million

Out of interest are you going to ( able to ! ) get in there and suck the sludge out ?

You've said that before haven't you?

I did Uncle Nick.! PV, battery, then more PV and another battery. With my EV ( admittedly low annual mileage ) my ROI is around 6 years from when first installed. If we have a stellar sunny summer I reckon I won't be far off break even this year.

I originally was going down the route of rwh . Even got a non return valve put in at the request of Bristol water . Guy came out and actually told me it probably wasn’t worth it ; his reasoning : maintenance / replacement pump suggested not using it for toilets as can stain ( so some chemical agent needed adding to the stored water ) So use for what ? Watering the garden ? - that’s about it . With the purchase costs of a tank etc I just couldn’t get any sensible roi . So dropped the idea . As our water is metered it is relatively expensive , but even if I did install and used for garden , toilets , washing machine - I think savings would be minimal.

Or this ??? I want to toggle 240v on each relay https://hobbycomponents.com/lora/1190-longreach-lora-4-channel-digital-tx

Hmmmmmm to find a relay resorts to AliExpress - always a flip a coin and hope ; this maybe ? Are all Lora devices compatible with all hubs ??

I was reading about someone that bought a Lora based sensor and didn’t know they needed the hub . Been working by magic apparently for years ; not on their WiFi or Bluetooth or anything else . Recently found out it had connected to a Lora hub 5 streets away 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lora !!!!!! Yolink New toys ordered ! 1/4 Mile range …. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤔

Cooooorrrrr - that’s at least a few days work !

Yeah ; it gets used rarely in winter . But I ordered anyway ( peace of mind ) Then it’s also another “ job “ to fix it ( 10 second jobs can turn into half a day for sure ! )

I have an outdoor tap also so should do the same !

I was thinking this also . But then I drank some 🍷and thought (expletive deleted) it

Interfaces to home assistant ? What does it generate on activation ??? Concept sounds good …. reviews seem not good . A battery I change once a year or less is fine . My problem is WiFi and zigbee at this point is poor / shite

I’ve got an ip camera that can see it - too many false triggers as I walk past it to enter my abode

Still got to run 20m of cable . I’m a lazy (expletive deleted) ; that’s all under my decking

Bast’s - I knew it would be like that

Not for sale to Germany apparently… why ? Not a musk nazi device is it ? 😆

Needs to be a (expletive deleted)ing big parcel to move 10kg of meat

To avoid the build I create a new ‘fun’ project …. The post box is a standalone unit about 6m from the house . Want to detect when it’s opened presumably by postie to delivery parcel . It does have a letter slot - but I could block that up . First thought was a Shelly / zigbee battery door sensor . Works sometimes . Range is the issue … Also no mains power at the postbox . So ! , maybe a Shelly relay mains powered but it would need mains which is around 20m away and then long cable to some reed sensor type magnetic switch in the postbox . Seems like a lot of work to work out if a letters been posted ! A good / bad plan ? ; other suggestions??
