I'm using aurora enlite dimmable LED GU10 lamps with fibaro dimmers and having no problems at all - they dim perfectly from 100% to 1% - no hum, no flicker. I've also got some cheapish (from amazon) dimmable LED E14 filament lamps with fibaro dimmers, which work reasonably well, although they...

If it's a new house, the electrical installation should have been tested when it was built - one of those tests is to confirm polarity and that switching is on the line conductor.

The Hilti DCSE20 is very good and when used with a decent dust extractor (Henry or the like) you can avoid making too much mess..

Yeah, something like that! Tried to be funny and completely cocked it up!

I have a 4 way extension lead with an iec c14 connector on the end (kettle plug) I then take the appropriate "Kettle lead" with me when I go away.

I'm looking forward to the tripadvistor review...

We had a master socket like this installed by BT early 90's (when our rotary dial telephone died)

Or if you can get these in white http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-MAINS-CABLE-CORD-GRIP-STOPPER-STOP-HOLDER-BLACK-NYLON-PLASTIC-GRIPPER-SAFETY-/381312273592 depends how much grip you need I guess...

How about Architrave blanking plate drilled with 16mm stuffing gland? You could fit the gland in reverse, which might give a flusher finish...

If you're interested, this is how I'm working it out. var Number averageHumidity = 30.0 if (YahooHumidity.state instanceof DecimalType) averageHumidity = YahooHumidity.averageSince(now.minusHours(24), "mysql") as DecimalType // temperature var Number averageTemp = 20.0...

They might, but something stuck in the ground and measuring soil moisture is more likely to. I don't consider windspeed, no. I might look into that for the future if it is likely to make much difference.

For my purposes it has been very reliable.

That would probably be even better, but I'm not really that keen a gardener... I just want to try to avoid them dying. I get weather data from yahoo, so it basis it partly on if there has been or will be rain in the past 24 hours. It saves having sensors, which could potentially go wrong etc.

I am one of the few who does actually see benefit in some "smart home" systems. I also work in IT and have partly written my own home automation system (based on various open source projects). The main things I get out of my home automation system: Accurate control of heating when necessary...

Fair enough, If you've got a pair, twisted or otherwise, VDSL will probably be the way to go. You can still run voice over it if you need to and AFAIK (haven't tried it, I've only used the same each end) you can use a standard VDSL modem at the CPE end (openreach modem, bt homehub, etc) I will...

Something like this https://www.zyxel.com/products_services/VDSL2-Modem-P-871M/ will enable you to "serve" your own broadband connection over an existing telephone cable. If there's a cable there at the moment though, are you sure that someone with sufficient experience isn't able to run a cat5...

Or buy / make an adaptor to convert the 32a plug to a 13a one - the chances are you won't be able to terminate the cable from the PDU in a 13a plug. Or use a fused spur to supply the 32a socket.

Thank you for the constructive reply. The last sale prior to mine was in 2001 (over 10 years before my purchase and before EPC's came in). I'm still waiting for the solicitor to retrieve my file from storage, which they are going to need for the sale anyway, so I will see what comes of that...

Why didn't I think of that, really helpful, thank you. I'll apply tomorrow :rolleyes:

Thanks, I did have a look and couldn't find it either.
