  1. Do this for peace of mind
  2. Not a lot going on in Wales.
  3. Definitely want to bed that - I used flexible tile adhesive on mine . Bedded to marine ply sheet which in turn was glued and screwed to battons .
  4. So are you @joe90 ….
  5. I’m a young stud
  6. @Mr Punter is positively ancient. @ancient tony - you got this . 👍
  7. You want home assistant . Turn off all cloud crap ( avoid Tuya ) . Maybe Shelly if WiFi good . Wouldn’t want smoke alarm dependent on WiFi or zigbee . AliExpress zigbee stuff is a gamble . Some works as expected , some doesn’t and some you end up doing your own code work around or requesting on GitHub for proper support . China land isn’t that keen to follow zigbee spec …. Z wave though is certified so ( in theory ) more chance of working as expected . It’s all a bit disconnected and hobbyist . But with time and learning you can get something decent .
  8. I thought that also ( I didn’t , but felt as I had resurrected this zombie thread I should attempt to comment )
  9. I like this thread because I don’t care about it . It’s really old and @Jeremy Harris started it so it deserves resurrection just for fun . My personal opinion on “ thermal mass myth “ is zero .
  10. But I feel this thread hasn’t resolved the great thermal mass myth . Discuss ! 😊 ( slow day for me )
  11. But I thought you liked bearded women ?
  12. 24/7 365 days a year . Would you like the gold membership?
  13. Take that cloud based scum ! Listening too me . Sending all my data to China land . In time all be replaced by a predecessor of this . Local based control . “Power to the people ! “ ( Citizen Smith ; such a shite show )
  14. Only got 1 guy on my job . He’s slow , lazy and been on it 11 yrs . Rubbish ! Might sack him …
  15. Cancelled the Xgimi gone with the Nexigo Aurora ..... will wait for that before choosing a screen
  16. Fresnel for the win then !!
  17. I also Um’d and ah’d over a motorised screen . A big fixed frame on the wall seemed ‘better’ . Because ( ignoring cost ) when the screens down ( or up ! ) what are you looking at ? A blank wall anyway ( ok you could have a picture up ) . This projector will be instead of a TV - so used casually rather than cinema night . SWMBO has given me blank control on what we have - then I can take the wrap if wrong …
  18. Yeah I’ve now read too much online and have no idea if I want a white/grey/purple screen . Gain ? 🤔 etc etc . Information overload !!. Paralysis by analysis….. same as my build .
  19. Looking at AliExpress as a cost saving excercise ! . Not sure I need / care for a motorised ceiling drop one ( assume I would want that ) . Perhaps just a big mofo alr frame on the wall …..
  20. Ok . Mine will be a lit room I.e natural light - next to big glass sliding doors . When he showed his ‘reject light from the sides ‘ in a lit room I did go wow ! It is a game changer ! But I don’t want to spend mega money on the screen . Also his projector is a ££££ one - I went for the xgimi aura - seems to be the best performance vs cost . But - it would seem I need a screen …
  21. Oh man - I dulled it down .
