Thanks for this, I will have a look at those settings later this afternoon and adjust accordingly. Any advice on possibly “upgrading” to a smart system that can control each radiator independently … the more I read about it, seems that it’s either Honeywell Evohome or the Hive systems that...

They were all set to III (3) ... I've literally just moved in (last week) so testing everything (well trying too) There are two radiators with no TRV: Hallway: that has a thermostat nearby (about 4 meters away) Master Bedroom: that has a thermostat nearby (about 3 meters away) I set them to...

Hi All, Moved recently into a new build that has a Visonic Powermaster (believe it's the Powermaster 10, not the 30), nonetheless I've read on here about the horror stories of how sh*t it is .... If I was to replace it, any ideas on how I would accomplish that and are there any...

Hi All, Just moved into my new build home and have been looking at moving towards a smarter heating system, essentially my attempt to evolve into a smart home over time. It's a 5 bed (need the space), with a living, dining and sitting room ..... The way I've figured it out to be working (home...

If you use gmail for example ... there is a setting in account settings on gmail that allows other devices to send mail from your account ... that's assuming your using something like smtp.google.com as your mail server.

Once again @Lucid what a fantastic description. Let me go and figure it all out ... no doubt I will be back

Hello Again - So will be mounting a 60" (maybe 65") on the wall and am or have been trying to work out how one hide things. The power cord seems the easiet, just hide it behind the TV, perhaps next to the mounting bracket ... but what about the other things: Optical + TV Ariel, they seem...

Super big thanks, especially for taking the time out of your day to answer my thread post. I think my questions are answered and as you said; it takes a fair amount of thinking to get it right. Your shopping list .... is pretty much what I ordered today; except the WF100 (will grab some of that...

Thanks - I'll stick with that and as it's all under the floorboards, won't make much difference how it looks, as long as it's functional. I certainly wasn't planning on chasing a 50mm pipe into the wall, but was somehow thinking that the 50mm would come to a point where the wall is and from...

Thanks man, I was actually just trying to work out how thick the Conduit needs to be and I think you have answered that question. I came across this: 50mm Waste Pipe (3m) - http://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-solvent-weld-pipes-white-50mm-x-3m/88188 Then taking into consideration the bends...

Pretty sure that BT, Sky and all the others do exactly the same. To be honest, I wasn't expecting them to do much more than move the BOX / wiring from where it is now, to a new location .... I guess one of my questions really is .... are there others who have their wallbox in a "hidden" place.

Hello All; Have just exchanged on my first house (the house I been renting) and doing some minor renovations downstairs, which includes replacing the floors, removing wallpaper (finally can) and a raft of other things ... which means a bit of a construction site, but an opportunity to perhaps...

It's been a while since I have come back to this site and clearly the answer is to have wired where ever possible and then wireless for those devices that just don't support wired I'll go away and do further research on this topic ... finding the balance without ripping up the house is going to...

Hey Guys; I am curious if anyone here has gone as far as setting up their home with those wireless hubs like you find at offices where being connected is seamless throughout the house and is super quick too. I have tried those home plug things before ... but they aren't that great, so the...

Hello All, My wife bought a 1970's wrought iron furniture garden set that is in need of a little TLC. I was wondering, what is the best to use: Spray Paint or Hand Paint for garden furniture or doesn't it matter? I presume Spray paint is easier. Thanks Rob

Hello I certainly would recommend the Western Digital Drives, but if your backups are around 150GB ... to be on the safe side, if you can afford it, get 2x 200GB drives and backup the data twice ... depends on how critical the data is. Personally, I've got a 1TB drive from Western Digital...

Turn them off as in turn the 'heat control = minimum' or actually close the valve so no water passes through them? Sorry for the stupid questions

Hello All, Hope your all well as the winter chill starts to roll in. I got a quick question about heating. I moved into a new place and the system here is slightly different to what I had at our old place and since the owners are no longer in the country, getting ahold of them is...

Hey there, Ermmmmm okay, well I'll keep adding the hot water and see how I come along, maybe it needs some time to work it's way through or something ....

Hey Guys, So all sorted, got a new switch from Wickes, fitted it and works like a charm. Thanks for all your help guys. :twisted:
