As the toilet slowly drains I can feel air wanting to escape the basin soil pipe into the room. So i...

    Can i take power from a switched live?

    The portable screen may well be double insulated and not need an earth. Having said this, you can-not simply take the 'unused' earth and use it as a neutral as you imply.

    Over voltage

    The standard mains voltage in the UK is 230 volts, with a typical tolerance range of 216.2–253 volts. This is a range of -6% to +10%. Applying ohms law to voltage and current states that the higher the voltage the lower the current. All sounds a load of b0**0**$ to me.

    To not have to fork out for the DTM module (i was not aware of the 2 min max time limit, this would have definetly sold it to me to implement my own solution), I fitted a Shelly 1 Mini Gen 3 device in the wiring that waits 10 mins upon power on and then turns on power to the fan, problem solved...

    Need something to control the power going into USB heating element

    By their nature, once they are warm they will keep the heat well, plus your bodyheat will keep the inside of the gloves warm. Why not just turn them on for a few minutes when you first use them then turn them off. I doubt you will need to keep turning them on and off all the time!

    Electric mirror problem

    The electrical circuit inside the mirror has developed a fault. Could be anything. If you feel competent in doing so you could open it up and post some photos. Might be something you can diagnose but i suspect you wont be able to fix it.
