    Yes, a capacitor is a good idea.

    Energy v cost, do people really not know the difference?

    Cookers and microwaves should update over the air. It's a pain keep resetting them after a power cycle.

    Sheds have definitely become a target for thieves. :(

    Full fibre install location

    The engineers are quite flexible. If you ask nicely they usually oblige, but they won't remove old cables that aren't theirs.

    Best TV recorder box?

    I use three tuners at the same time so I can record multiple channels at the same time. I use a Pi TV hat, plus two USB tuners. I'll have to check which I use and let you know.

    Are there Sonoff users here?

    I use a hub to communicate. But you could build it without. Tasmota firmware has its own rules based engine letting devices speak to each other without a hub.

    Energy v cost, do people really not know the difference?

    I don't have a smart meter, so I hooked up a Shelly EM clamp on the meter tails and it records electric used and shows live usage. It's good to see how power usage changes over the course of the day, plus switching things on and off and watching the change in power.

    Choice of floorboards

    I have no idea of the moisture content, but you could leave the boards in the room for a few days to acclimate them. Not sure how good that would be though.

    No, the base is level. But the outer cladding is wider than the base so the water doesn't touch the base at all.

    Mines above floor radiators. Each connected to a manifold. I use so off mini R2 flashed with Tasmota. On some I use zwave fibaro relays but they are two expensive in my opinion.

    Hub or non Hub System

    I know this is an old thread, but thought I'd add that Tasmota is a great. Nice and easy plus no reliance on cloud spyware

    Replacing fluorescent light with LED Batten light and adding 2 additional leds

    Is this a pure lighting circuit? The cable seems to be 2.5mm, although difficult to tell from the pic. It's it's just lighting you could replace with 1.5mm or even 1mm depending on the expected load.

    Choice of floorboards

    You can use what ever board width you like. Try to keep the thickness the same so it's level at the doorway to the next room. Depending on width two or three screws per board joist is fine. Make sure the fixings avoid any wires or plumbing. You can use tongue tight screws if you want to keep the...

    Best TV recorder box?
