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...

This is what i used on my last laptop repair and the user hasn't said its come back off yet, I used the smallest one so 5mm. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WYLZGT9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4#averageCustomerReviewsAnchor

Is that width or thickness? I would pressume the width would be more around 5mm that you need to fill the void and stick the rubber back down with. If its thickness then the thicker tape might give a slightly better bond as probably more contact area being made.

double sided tape is what I use when I've had to open up laptops. You can get the correct width of this on the likes of amazon.

oh wow, good spot @Why Not Indeed . Yup significantly less torque needed and some of those motors what I suggested may be way overkill.

something like the below might be suitable, but it will really depend on how heavy the shutters are. You'll need to investigate the required torque you need for your shutter. Then decide on the voltage and RPM you want to work with...

Without knowing if theres already an aftermarket add-on, some kind of high torque gear motor will probably work with a smart relay etc.. hardest part will be making some kind of braket to attach the motor to wall and lining it up. shouldnt be all too difficult in all honesty. you'll just need...

That sounds like its setup as intended in that case. punters free wifi is protected from scanning the network and possibly isolated from each other too.

Assuming no reasonably priced smart extractor (which is probably overkill anyway) yeah a shelly should be suitable. So wall switch left on, which then keeps permanent power to the extractor. So where ever you decide to fit the shelly it will need permanent live & neutral (L & N), then a jumper...

Wherever its most convinient to access should you ever need to get to it again. Also taking into account the wifi signal it will need. The Shelly 1 Mini Gen3 should be suitable to use as a smart switch for the extractor. There's also the gen4 which has zigbee, matter etc.. and might be slightly...

Can you fit a little Shelly smart switch (one of their mini's) in the extractor or from the feed to the extractor?

Apparently what futurehome have done is potentially illegal in their own country so watch this space. Although I doubt that anything will change and their threats will amount to nothing. Hopefully someone does find a way to enable local integration for all those users but we shall see.

Yup, and theres devices like from Govee that you cannot disable firmware updates for so they could pull this same move if they wanted. Best bet is to only buy devices with local API as Lewis says and block access to the internet where possible to prevent them updating on their own. Always going...

Using Tapo for some appliances (P100 or P110) and they seem reasonable and stable except firmware update causes them to lose power. I have a couple of Meross ones too but had random issues with one of them randomly turning off / losing wifi etc.. Have started to install Aurora smart sockets...
