Same as you mate, basically an IT geek with a bit of spare time hence the silly graphs! I've never been able to actually determine what the nest has been setting it at, think my boiler is a bit older maybe and it doesn't display it on the front. I made up some pipe clips with temp sensor built...

Hmm thats interesting, think I will have to redo my calculations with a 40 degree flow then. Same size of house as you, but as I say that was the manufacturer ratings that came to about 14kw. I will re do the calcs and see where I get to. How did you work out what Nest had set the temp to? I...

I believe it was wired correctly, TrueRadiant is turned on, I think with 3 hours rather than 2 so I can change that. I have also ordered a OpenTherm gateway to try and 'sniff' what commands etc are being sent and received if any. The Nest doesn't really expose the set point or any details around...

Hi All, I had an Intergas boiler fitted probably three years ago now along with a Nest v3 for the OpenTherm functionality. I have long suspected that its not been modulating correctly / short cycling but I could be wrong. I have been monitoring the flow and return temps from the boiler for a...

You're right it is BT's property. The whole line is. I bought a BT junction box / DP off eBay when I moved my phone line, its even branded as BT so they probably couldn't tell the difference! As long as its installed right...

They are all in Auto mode apart from the door entry magnetic sensor

Another issue I seem to be having now is the sensitivity of the system. It doesn't seem to be actually alarming reliably. Sometimes its instant sometimes it doesn't seem to care im walking around. All the zones are set to guard apart from the Upstairs which also has Part Omit 1 set. Not sure...

Yeah I'll be fitting security lights in the garden and drive. It looks like they scaled the rear fence and pried a screwdriver down the side of the conservatory windows. Cracked one and popped the door. I have two more cameras to go up. Got them recording to a 2016 server now.

It was yeah. I found another comment on here which seemed to solve it. I had to press the tamper switch on each of the PIRs several times before it would work. All working now, apart from the bell box which I'm scared to start playing with at this time of night! Cheers Andy

Hi All, I got broken into a few days ago and decided to go down all the security roads I can, CCTV alarm etc. I settled on the 48W with a ComWiFi module. I got the Kit-0002 with a few compact PIRs and a Impaq Contact. Since then I have been setting up the system on the bench. I am struggling...

Cheers! Any preference on Kingspan vs Celotex? Celotex seems cheaper?

Hi All, After stripping the walls in my new house I am looking at getting the external walls insulated as per someone else's advice on here. I am looking at the Kingspan K17 plasterboard and dot n dab this directly to brick on the external walls in the rooms Im doing up. First of all, any...

Thanks for taking the time to edit that! You have somewhat put my mind at ease now! Makes sense to me now. I'm glad its not structural! Not convinced the bricks are in the best condition, downstairs they are loose and I suspect the same upstairs. So line the reveal with DPC of some sort and...
