I'm happy to set up the network cables - I have set up several networks at home and commercially in the past. I have a mesh network at home with 6 Linksys nodes around the house, but I get 900Mbps into the router and only 230mbps in the top floor of the house. So I want to run Cat6a cables to...

Thanks everyone for the information and advice (y)

I am comfortable with setting up and wiring networks internally, but am not confident in drilling through external walls and ceilings. So I got a network/CCTV person to give me a quote for routing the cable around my house. Note - I will provide all the network cables and will to the...

I finally got around to installing it and it's all working really well! I decided to make a simple how-to video.

Okay, I'll do this. Thanks. No, I think it was done by the previous owner of the house when they fitted the wireless doorbell.

I'm going to fit a Ring doorbell, so need to extend the doorbell button cable that has previously been cut. There isn't much currently available... I have tried pulling it to see if it will extend a bit, but it won't. What's the best solution please? 20210630_134615 by Techboy posted 30 Jun...

Okay, so I could do this?: Buy a metal enclosure and a transformer Turn the power off Remove the existing bell (the whole box pictured above) Fit the new enclosure + transformer, using the existing power and doorbell wires that are there Fit the Ring doorbell Turn the power back on

I understand, thanks for the help

Thanks both for the info. So you're saying that I would need to buy a transformer with an enclosure. Could I not simply replace the current transformer (shown in green in my picture above) with a new one? Or could I remove the whole box shown in the picture and replace it with the transformer +...

I’ve bought a Ring Video Doorbell Wired, the transformer for my current doorbell is only 6VA, 6V, 50HZ. The Ring doorbell requires 8-24VAC. I’ve bought a Ring Chime for the audio - I’ll use this and the Amazon Echo devices I have around the house, I am happy to not use the current bell. Will I...

It turns out that the issue was with the brass valve that the Sunvic controls! I lifted up the Sunvic, quirted the valve with WD40, used pliers to turn it until it was free to move, put the Sunvic back on and now the Sunvic is quiet and is able to operate the value as it should. Thanks everyone...

Ah okay. What should I replace it with? :-)
