I have the evohome controller and even have the wall mount option (but never fitted it), The evo home controller rarely gets used and we usually just ask alexa to adjust the room if needed. I am not a big fan of the evohome screen, its a little sluggish and outdated now. But let me be clear the...

From my limited research it seems like this machine (or at least motherboard, intel® baytrail-d) is from around 2015 and does not support TPM 2.0 Now I am not 100% sure if this has a TPM header on the motherboard that you could add a chip too or not or whether it would be supported. There are...

Thanks, looks like an Asus logo there, do you see a model number anywhere on the case (sticker on the back perhaps?)

Is it a laptop or desktop? Could you share the make/model of it please.

No. External hard drives, usb drives, memory sticks etc.. are just empty storage for you to use. You would need to install windows 11 using a tool like media creation and then selecting that as the drive to install windows too (if that was indeed the destination you wanted the install on). But...

she will either learn quickly when you ignore her or perhaps lead her through it from outside with treats etc.. so she gets used to it. perhaps watch closely to see if theres something she doesnt like about going this particular way.

Assume the 2290B is the battery version? so you wont need the neutral and will need to be put in a wago or something similar to keep it isolated. Isolate power to thermostat, boiler, controller etc.. prove dead then complete wiring as per the installation guide.

Do you have any existing smart home solutions in place like alexa, google home, home assistant etc... using the sonoff in isolation could work but I am not sure on the flexibility they offer? geo location, multiple schedules and other automation etc.. there are other smart valves you could look...

Such a shame its been deemed waste by the organization. Hopefully you'll be able to either put it to good use, donate or profit from the surplus equipment as its definately got life/value to it. I'd of bitten their hand off it they were telling me its going to be thrown out.

Just found them Bee Bot Robot , well thats the bee version. (not cheap btw).. could be a market for you to sell them.

They look like some little robot you can program to do things with... I need to reverse image search them for my own curiosity.

I'd be surprised if someone doesnt profit from them before they end up in the hands of the needy. If you were local to me (or selling them) I'd of taken a fair bit of those monitors/all-in-ones for some Arcade machine projects I am wanting to work on. I am curious as to what those little robot...

In that case you probably can't go wrong with Nest or Hive, but obviously will need the extra thermostats/heatlink from them. Is this going to be a self install or getting someone in to install it? (Hive offer install service). I havent used them personally (although I've installed Nest which...

Are you wanting to just make the programmers smart / control the 2 zones? Or are you wanting to look at individual room control?

Thanks for the update. Zigbee is great and definately a good choice, if you ever struggle with signal you can get repeaters to extend the signal. Only non-battery powered zigbee devices act as repeaters, although I have struggled in the past to pair devices from other devices acting as repeaters...
