    Smart mcb?

    Many thanks JW and also very grateful for everyone’s suggestions. Yes, an appropriate contactor controlled by a wifi controlled switch module as you have described would definitely be the best route for this. Since our cu is now over 20 years old (no rcd protection!) I will get it replaced by a...

    Smart mcb?

    Thanks JW , that is exactly what i meant. Also, thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. Now, just to clarify the requirements as to why this setup is needed. It is not to control a single socket or a device but a means to easily control a whole final ring circuit that services the...

    Smart mcb?

    Thank you for this, but if it gets installed just before a suitable say 32A mcb then there wouldn’t be concern as the mcb after it would have tripped the faulty circuit mitigating the overload risk. Regards

    Smart mcb?

    I don’t believe you would need a new hub as it should connect to the existing house WiFi router. Regards

    Smart mcb?

    Hi there, I have a requirement to switch the supply of a single ring final circuit in my house off on a daily basis in my home. For this I would like to use a smart circuit breaker so that this can be done easily through wifi, Alexa, etc., without having to go to my consumer unit. Would I be...

    Miele dishwasher stop starting then all lights start flashing

    Hi I have now tested the pressure switch in situ and measured its terminals on the PCB while the circulating pump was running and it was showing a faulty reading of around 120V AC, this should be 0V if the pressure switch is active and if it was working correctly. The good news is that I have...

    Miele dishwasher stop starting then all lights start flashing

    Hi Richard many thanks for your valuable input as it enabled me to read/clear the fault codes. There were 4 codes in total, the last three were from the distant past so I have cleared these and started a normal wash and got the current fault code which is F14 I understand that it indicates that...

    Miele dishwasher stop starting then all lights start flashing

    Thanks Freddo, I'll try to see if I can somehow test or maybe bypass this sensor and give the right signal back to the board. We bought this DW new in 2006 and it is a shame to see it go.

    Miele dishwasher stop starting then all lights start flashing

    Hi Freddo - thank you for your input , there is a 4 wire solid state infra red diode/IR sensor (it is called turbidity sensor) located in the feed for the top spray, no other circulation water flow sensor in this model that I can find. Not sure what to investigate next!

    Miele dishwasher stop starting then all lights start flashing

    Richard - All the three lights flash together (no pattern) - thanks. So far I have tried the following with no success I have tried to read the fault code but it appears that there are none! Unless I am incorrectly accessing the fault codes. I have checked the control board, the PCB looks...

    Shower Pump 22mm fitting to existing 15mm pipework

    Hi, I am replacing my current twin shower pump with a Monsoon 2.0 bar twin pump, my current installation has 15mm dedicated pipes to the pump and from the pump to the shower mixer. The Monsoon pump has 22m fittings, can I get away with it by fitting 22mm to 15mm reducers on the shower pump...
