The TRV stops the room overheating, we can set the mechanical TRV between 2 and 3 on the dial, which will stop the radiators heating the room to over 18 - 22°C, but that setting remains throughout the day, 24/7, what we want is for day rooms to be heated in the day and night rooms heated at...

I missed that yes, seems the μA range is DC as well as AC.

My eQ-3 TRV heads do not NEED an app, since the Bluetooth version they can use an app if you want, but can be set manually. As to not controlling the boiler, in the main they stop a room being heated when there is no one in the room, so don't need to connect to the boiler, in the room where it...

Current Range 400uA/4000uA So one place it says 400 amps, and next place 4 amps, and only lists AC current range, then shows it being used on a car, last time I used my clamp-on with a car, I used the DC range, which needs a hall effect sensor, so they tend to be more expensive. And I think...

There are TRV units where the flow rate is controlled as well in the same unit. The same here, the operative word is used, I have seen valves stuck where the head is set at maximum, which means they do not do any work, and are not being used. Set around mid-way, they will move, most of mine...

I remember carefully writing on plastic bags what was in them, and storing in the loft, and when I came to get the stuff back out, they fell into dust, far better today with paper bags. Today I buy bin liners, years ago I used old plastic bags, so to try and reduce use of plastic, the...

I know when it was down to me, I ensured there were forms to report defects, and tool box talks about filling in the forms followed by a questionnaire to ensure it was understood. Living where not every one speaks English, the questionnaire ensures I don't get, I am a Welsh speaker, I did not...

Plastic means it will bend, but what we call plastic is either made from animals or plants, be it oil, coal, or wood, it is the same source, and I know coal degrades once it has been mined, but it is quite old to start with. So being made from cotton, or wool, so not mean it will break down fast...

One problem with many places I have worked, is the way people report problems, they seem to refuse to follow procedure and submit a written report, but tell someone in a general conversation, then claimed they have reported it. I have had a garbled message over a radio, of a problem in building...

I have struggled to adjust lock shield valves, it does depend on the system, this house with micro bore and an oil fired on/off boiler needed a different approach to my late mother's modulating boiler. I read one should use a differential thermometer on input and output pipes and set to around...

I have seen that many PIR and EICR which we have clearly been written to drum up work, rather than there be any real fault, I started to take no notice of the report. The problem is the English landlord law requires one to show faults have been corrected, how can one do that if there is no...

There are many ways to dim a bulb. 1) Wave form clipping. A) Leading B) Lagging 2) Simple resistor 3) Wireless link The first to can be direct acting, or a signal to internal electronics within the bulb. The LED is a current dependent device, so we need a driver of some sort, often built into...

The Energenie and eQ-3 TRV heads exercise the TRV once a week, but see nothing with the Kasa and Wiser heads, in summer should once select a high temperature for a short time once a week to exercise them?

I have three cats, the birds would need to be brave, or big, I am sure a red-tailed kit could take the cat never mind the tadpoles, but can't see them being bothered with such small fry as tadpoles.

I note same with LED, so not sure if you can get an integral lamp with the same?

It was linked to the report @securespark linked to. And had some of the same pictures. So would assume same case.

Who I have looked at the pictures again, the lights are specials and are designed with reflectors to minimise the stroboscopic effect, seem to remember CAT something, and I can't remember exactly, but there is a problem with LED, and I would need to do some research to know what is required with...

Voltage is not irrelevant, in this country to get fluorescent lights to work on 110 volts we used an auto transformer to raise the voltage to 240 volts. The YouTube video shows, in the USA, they used a different method to get a fluorescent light to fire and run. Dimensions are also not...

What a useless report. Earlier report These are helpful in stopping it happening again. The picture seems to show assess both sides of the fence, so why did he climb it? A report which alerts one to possible problems is good. But to miss out why the problem existed is rather poor journalism...

Agreed, boilers and heating has moved on, where I work we still have a one pipe system, the boiler sends steam to the radiators, and at the last carriage it is vented to atmosphere, gives a great ambiance, but not that efficient. However, it is supplied from a real boiler, not just a water...
