Ah…. Luckily I just cancelled the order of that as I read that device doesn’t have the necessary drivers/handlers that work with Smartthings when using a temperature probe… It seems from what I read that it’s waiting for some random guy on the internet (with a full time job doing better things)...

Thanks Elite123, that looks like an interesting device I've not used before. Will get one and have a play :) Just a minor point is that I don't have a low voltage source of power for it (9-30v) but assume a 9v PP3 would suffice and I'd then enclose it all in a small ABS box.

Hi I want a z-wave device to measure the temperature of my hot water tank so I can control the boiler (it has a Fibaro switch). Ideally a sensor unit with a probe I can insert into the tank's sensor pockets rather than tear a gash out of the jacket for a surface mounted one (i.e. Secure SES002)...

Gap is between the top of the tray and the lower edge of the boards - they’re not resting on the tray, but fortunately(?) are above it and not behind it (i.e tray isn’t pushed up against the boards). There was an edging strip fitted which I’ve removed.

Hi I’ve not used OB1 adhesive/sealant before and wondered if it’s suitable for sealing the gap between the shower tray and plastic wall panels? I’m not sure how it finishes off when cured and if it’s any better than silicone? There’s a small amount of movement on the wall boards (which I can’t...

Dolls are meant to be a play thing for kids and so should be the least likely thing to cause offence. If they were only made in white there would soon be a lot of moaning! Sometimes some people have too much time on their hands.

Aha! - just to put an end to this.... I asked my wife and she said she washed a load of kids toys from our local playing field in the dishwasher. So there you have it -- there's always a valid explanation for unusual things!!

Brilliant than you all! Seems like a kid's toy of some sort and I don't have any kids so I'm completely puzzled how I ended up with one of those parts in my dishwasher!!! :unsure:

Hi, does anyone recognise this unusual part (pictured)? I found it inside my Bosch dishwasher - and bizarrely it was inside the cutlery basket! It's about 2" square and looks like the feet clip into something and maybe the arms carry 3-4 rods. All of the internal racks, blanking plugs, plastics...

I take everything in over winter - too expensive if you forget!!

I just bought a couple of the BWF26 Spear & Jacksons as mentioned by ETAF above, and they have a very nice & solid feel - and have a brass fitting. Was going to get just one, but saw Zoro gave free delivery over £20 so I got two as effectively the second one was half price :)

I’m praying you get some good answers here as I’m yet another in the same predicament :( Seems the general opinion is to go with brass fittings but with things like the spray gun l’m not so sure brass ones can do all the spray patterns. My local store wanted £30 !!! for a hozelock sprayer, and...

Non-contact testers are not the best way of testing, and are not recommended by the IET. What you’re getting is just an “alarm” that live electric is close-by. You’ll get exactly the same when moving close to a L terminal on a plastic socket. These devices are not accurate, not entirely to be...

I don't know about Tivo's but maybe first try and see if it's ethernet port is active and is providing an output by plugging in a laptop with a short ethernet cable and see if you can get internet pages.. then check the TV has ethernet connection input too. If so on both, then the powerline...

Ah... I'm not familiar with Tivo but assume it's like a satellite box. Can you not get instead a long satellite cable and possibly a barrel connector (for connecting plug to plug where it joins)?

You should be able to use a couple of powerline adapters assuming you have ethernet ports on the router and whatever device (TV?) you're trying to connect to in the new room - or a long CAT5 cable.

I think they're only meant to be hand tight. A bit scary as I had one like that recently but it all seems to be OK. They should say in the book though what's recommended.

Hi On the EIC, in the Generic Schedule of Circuit Details section it requires the "type of wiring" to be recorded in the conductor details section. When there is a change of wiring type what do people put there please? - i.e the short length of T&E or the bulk of the route as SWA? I have 2.5mm...

Windscreen wipers from the space shuttle. Not to worry, they fall off quite frequently :)

Thanks for all your help everyone and the clear explanations :) I'm just about also to change the RCD to an A type rather than AC to be sure it can trip as there's a lot of electronic gear both in circuit and likely to be plugged in. Cheers all !!!
