    Ring Doorbell Alternative

    Wiring ICON15 with Timer

    Got it installed and it appears to be working. Will need to increase the length of the wires so the icon logo is at the bottom but does anyone have an idea how I can cover up those holes … the square edges behind the fan from the old one. I’m thinking silicone or something like that.

    Extractor Fans (Bathroom) - New Build

    Hi All, I was hoping someone could give me some advise. Recently moved into a new build and having lived here for the past few months I kept wondering where the constant cold air was coming from and then it dawned on me; the bloody extractor fans they put in. There’s one in each bathroom...

    Help appreciated with Ethernet cable / Second router

    Can you share the model number. I agree it should be blue; I have two of those although have a lot of their other kit with the management interface built in (Dream Machine Pro), but as others have indicated, that’s not needed as you can manage them independent. The orange means it’s waiting...
