I recently installed a Google Nest doorbell along with a Surf 2 Note Door Chime and a 12V doorbell transformer from TLC, and noticed the Surf 2 Note Door Chime is very quite when rung. Yes, it is wired correctly and has the module installed inside the door bell that came with the Google Nest...

I think that is a different unrelated company. This is the one that I was on about: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uk-automation-retail-ltd/about/ and use to sell consumer smart home devices like Z-Wave and X10 modules.

I assume uk-automation has closed for business as it has had a "Down for Maintenance" message on the site for a while now. Just wondering if anyone on here knows anything more about what happed to the business? Regards: Elliott.

I am well aware of that, I have a GS38 compliant voltage tester for that. I am also aware I can trigger it by rubbing it on my clothes by creating static electricity. I was just a bit surprised that it was detecting when it was so far away from any sources of electricity and was standing still...

Is my Di-Log PL107N Voltage Indicator over sensitive or are all similar non contact voltage indicators/detectors what rely on the principle of capacitive coupling going to detect unwanted sources and give false positives like featured in the video? Regards: Elliott.

Correct!

That did occur to me, as I only have one 1 DB/CU and have no way to isolate the single consumer unit currently, so would be a useful benefit if I ever replaced my CU. My 2013 vintage MK twin RCD 12 way CU is not in the best of shape, the plastic busbar protection panel was never refitted by the...

Just noticed this on my Henley block between my meter and my consumer unit. Tails on left are to consumer unit, tails on right are to electricity meter. I am unsure if the tails have worked lose over time due to never being tightened up properly in the first place or this has always been like...

But they are all of the 1366 x 768 resolution. I am after 1920 x 1080.

Yes, I believe I am paying a standing charge. Let me find out what it is.

I am currently paying 17p per Kwh for electricity and to me, that seems rather expensive! Is that the average for the UK these days? I am in the south east if it is any relevance. Regards: Elliott.

Just found this: https://www.bathroom-trends.co.uk/acatalog/Chrome-Decorative-Bathroom-Ceiling-Pull-Switch-FPK4-CH-29-8796.html Not saying it's compliant or legal of course.

Just been looking at recent threads on this section of the forum and came to notice that BAS / Ban All Sheds is no longer arround? What happened and when did he go? Regards: Elliott.

Wow, still going. Maybe I should write a letter to the IET and ask them for a definitive answer?

Yea, the steam fan oven only gets used when we have lots of people around like at Christmas time.

Just started watching the following video, where it is claimed that the plastic bit in the string of pull cord switches is for insulation purposes and thus is a safety device. I can understand this if true, although is new news to me. Any truth to this, have you heard this before, and is there...

Thanks ericmark, not sure what you mean by you would not classify it as a nuisance trip, but I simply meant nuisance trip as it is a nuisance when your using the oven and it causes the RCD to trip and following using the oven and it causes the RCD to constantly trip time after time until the...
