When you removed the thermostats, did you join the wires together or have they been removed completley or disconnected? Did they wire to the timer or directly to the boiler?

In terms of connecting to the boiler, you would at a minimum need something like a smart / remote relay that you can trigger when any TRV needs heat. coupled with home assistant or something like that and you can create a fairly open heating system and even use a mix of different branded TRVs etc..

While you could use motorized valves to create zones for the floors / bigger areas, do you have the access to the pipes? Have the cable runs from the motor to where they will be wired and controlled from? Given a simplified zone creation using those would still cost at least £150-200 I would...

Something like honeywell evohome or other smart TRV's will give you control over each room to create your own zones. Why do you say the wiser trv's are prohibitive? Looking at the wiser trv page they say individual radiator control too.

How are you accessing the webserver? Is this via a local address/ip just wondering if your able to access the pi locally without having to go via the router (well kinda). What router are you using btw?

I wonder if you are experiencing some memory leak issues or just the amount of data is causing the pi to show and crash or the webserver? Would a scheduled reboot of the pi say at 1am everyday or every 12 hours potentially be a short term workaround until you can optomise the code? Could you try...

It does have a guidance to this as below: • AC-In The AC input must be protected by a fuse or magnetic circuit breaker rated at 32 A (for 3 kVA model), 50 A (for 5 kVA model) and 100 A (for 8 kVA and 10 kVA model) or less, and cable cross-section must be sized accordingly. If the input AC...

To protect in the event of a victron malfunction, fire I suppose? e.g. moisture, bugs or rain got into them being located into a garage. I know this wont give any valid shock protection but didn't think it could be a bad idea to add a little additional protection for this part of the...

I have an inverter (Victron Multiplus 2 48/5000) that is currently fed from a 50A RCBO however it doesnt give me any selectivty when downstream circuits fed by the 30ma RCBO's trip, so I would like to swap these out to MCBs and potentially give additional protection via 100ma / 100ma Time...

I can only vouch for the one I use which is Eufy doorbell cam and thats pretty reasonably priced and no cloud fees (using the home base) compared to others that might require a subscription. Might be worth checking some youtube channels like PaulHibbert or TheHookUp which have plenty of research...

That price if you look carefully is for the extra plastic attachments only, it does not come with the fingerbot. But they are not too badly priced though if you click the other options they will likely be around £12. The other brand (and possibly the orginal) was called SwitchBot so you might...

Switchbots are about £20 where I've seen them.

Ah thats a shame, my dryer/washing machine has a dial but I have to press the START button so I could turn the dial to the setting I want to use (Wash or dry etc..) leave it like that without starting the cycle. Then at a set point the robot would press the start button (actually needs to press...

Thinking slightly differently, instead of using the inbuilt timers on the appliances could you perhaps use something like a switchbot to press the start button at a predetermined time (or based on some other logic). You have to manually setup each appliance anyway so I assume a robot just...

Just for clarification its a victron multiplus inverter and will (should) only raise the voltage / frequency marginly in order to feed the house over the supply. The only reason to have the isolators side by side in a small enclosure is just so it can fit on the existing cement board alongside...

I'm wanting to provide isolation for an inverter for both the AC in and the AC out(s). Rather than having big bulky 80a rotary isolators next to the garage CU (potentially with minimal space inside the isolators for wiring), is there any reason why I cant just add a small 4way CU next to the...

Getting a "handyman" to remove any asbestos is not the right way, are they licenced to dispose of it? will they have the correct equipment to ensure no contamination/health issues for them and the household etc.. Also will they just dump what they remove somewhere or in a skip etc.. potentially...

Do these make their own mesh network when all connected together? If so you could add a dummy z-wave device somewhere between the dimmer module and the smartthings hub to try overcome the signal issue?

James @ plumberparts rates them but I believe he is being sponsored by them or being paid to promote at least. On the other hand he is using them for his extension, so take that as you may. I would say for it to take off it needs to be available at a lot more stockist to be ready available. Also...

Not sure if any water will make its way down the thread but some Loctite, plumbers mait/PTFE, Vaseline etc... on the threads should prevent any water ingress from them.
