You mention the heaters but what else will you need the internet for? Streaming, downloading, gaming, social media or just general web browsing, emails etc..? There are certainly mobile broadband providers out there e.g. Smarty that give some reasonable speeds, bandwidth for the price but that...

Probably suggesting things you might have already tried (even indirectly by your multiple sequences tried). Try resetting/clearing the pairings? Try AP mode? I'm just looking at the manual for the different pairing methods and operating modes.

Possibly a dumb question but did you press the pairing button on the receiver after pressing the pairing button on the app?

Do you have a small window opening that you could say fit a bathroom extractor style fan in? some perspex that fits the window opening with the fan mounted onto the perspex then you could automate the fan as the window will always be open? Perhaps a bidirectional one then if its cooler outside...

Yeah those cards should be fine, amazon usually preffered due to easier returns etc... either slot will be fine, no preference on which slot to use except which allows a better fit / air flow etc...

So your board looks to have (Top to bottom): • 1x PCIe x1 - small black one • 1x PCIe x16 - Long black one with GPU installed • 1x PCIe x4 - Long white one • 3x PCI - white ones (old / slow) So you should be fine to get a card with pcie x1 slot or upto x4 (its a full length slot but only...

Flash Drives / SSD's or devices which essentially store data on memory chips can suffer bit rot over time (think we are talking years) Mechanical drives / dvds etc.. shouldn't be affected by this unless there were defects on the platter or materials. The reality is, how critical is the data your...

Example of the front panel with sd/usb etc... (in both 3.5 and 5.25 width) (again random search) Link EDIT: some ports might not work if you dont have all the required port for this panel.

Yeah if the card has an internal header then yes you can combine the card with a front media slot / hub. example card with internal header (random search, not endorsing): Card for the hub / front panel I/O you can get ones with sd card readers etc.. if you needed that for anything (just...

These are just USB hubs really so even if your motherboard has the header for it, it will still be at USB 2.0 speed as thats all your motherboard has.

That gpu is a x16 slot but its only single slot so I think you should have a x1 slot free but yeah best take a pic to be 100% sure. Also that GPU is a half height card so if thats almost to the top of the case then you'll likely need a half height card (low profile ) for the usb also.

I think given the age its very likely pci 2.0, a 1x slot should be sufficient.

I can't find any specifics on the motherboard identifying any options like hotswap but I suspect its very unlikely to allow hotswapping (although I have used modified bios on some HP machines to enable it). It might be worthwhile looking at a PCIe card to give you usb 3.0 ports if you have a...

You mention hot swap, hot swap is so you can take out the hard drives while the system is still running. Is this what you actually want to do?

While i havent taken a look at your links (I'm probably not in a position to advise if they are of good quality or not). Is there a reason you wouldnt want to either have a single gang socket with usb instead of a spur and those modules inside of it or even better, just replace the socket you...

One thing that people often overlook with smart devices is the wifi connection. Most regular households just use the default wifi name given to them by their ISP e.g. VIRGIN13342342 SKY243423 etc.. then when they change providers everything stops working so they frantically have to go round...

Most energy companies can also install smart thermostats like hive, nest etc.. for £150 last time I checked if you feel like you need smart heating.

If you have individual radiator controls or plan on getting that then there probably is no need for the 2 seperate zones, they can just remain combined. I would assume that the hive radiator valves work along with the hive controller so when any radiator needs heat it will send the signal to the...

It should be as simply as joing the 2 wires together where each of the original thermostats were. keep in mind they will likely have 230v from the controller/timer.

I suspect your heating is open circuit because the thermostat wires are not joined. Without knowing your wiring I suspect that each heating wire goes to their respective thermostats and then back to the boiler to tell it to turn on. One of the wires will have the voltage from the controller then...
