    Open garage door from mobile phone

    There a number of options and a lot of electric garage doors have the option to hard wire a button or a extra low voltage input to open/close them, and often can be interfaced with automation type relay modules; however security is a big concern.

Is "motor" just another name for the voice...

    Changing the bulb on this recessed spotlight

    They don't have bulbs, what they have is a non replaceable LED COB. If the light fixture itself is at fault and it's not your electrical environment as suggested by endecotp, then you will have to replace the LED fixtures themselves.

    What do you recon this is?

    My worst night mare as a kid :evil:, Ultrasonic cat scares that were supposed to be inaudible to humans, but were in fact painfully audible and unpleasant to me! They emit various sounds in the 18KHz - 24KHz region usually. I would happily ban those devices if I could!

    Pyronix Enforcer Panel - SMS call Fail

    Should also mention that my panel has the GPRS module installed. I also recall the panel giving a ARC error at the time of responding to the fault, but that did not show up in the event logs and don't know why that would even ever present such an error when no alarm receiving center has ever...

    When were mains (230V/240V) underwater lights banned?

    Mains pond pumps are allowed, but I am sure back in the 50's/60's/70's there used to be 240v underwater lights feed straight from the mains used in ponds and commercial fountains. I was under the impression that these are no longer allowed and I wanted to know when did this change and under what...

    Automatic blinds - too expensive. Ever considered making your own?

    The ones that cost £115 and £129?, I would happily pay that per blind as long as it could integrate with SmartThings/Z-Wave. When I think pricey, I think high hundreds and low thousands per blind.
