Hi all, Got to do the entire house (4 bed + loft), what's in and what's out? No budget in mind. Thanks

Yep, just came across that today. Found a guy on Ebay who makes them. You're right, need to introduce some safeguards between DC outlet and the strips.

Oh, that would be better wouldn't it?

The final wiring diagram then: And in case any one is interested, my standard config for 20m of LED strips... Could easily be extended to 30m total (7.5m each) because I'm powering the strips at both ends. Currently, I'm looking at 12v 30 LED/metre strips at 0.3W per LED. So that's 9W for...

Thank you very much SUNRAY. Most appreciated. I will aim for exactly this. SpecialKay, these Sonoffs are popular with the smart home community because they can be flashed with a custom firmware called "Tasmota", this allows you to control them without the cloud or your data ever leaving your...

Sketch..

EFL, though this has the advantage stated by bernardgreen (which id like to find out more about), that's an incredible amount of wiring in the backbox. I would like to avoid jam packing thr back box in favour of junctions boxes in the ceiling. Thoughts?

Oh, great start. Thanks. Will update that

Lighting diagram attached. Go easy. I'm not a qualified electrician but am an uber geek when it comes to general electronics and I work in IT (obviously). Due to start a strip/rebuild project soon and will be installing wall mounted smart switches for all the lights in the house. Yes, there are...

I have quotes thanks. All have come in heavy at circa 10k. Which i think is a high hence asking.

How much could one expect to pay to completely redo all electrics and lighting for a 4 bedroom house that has been extended to the max (6m ground, loft and side)? Excellent standard expected, using quality sockets and switches. No smart home stuff. How much would kit be and how much for labour?

Last year this time, a shower leak developed (shower fitted 10 years ago). We have a fairly large shower tray set up sitting on a timber frame. Did the usual re-sealing, fixed the problem for a few months, leak came back. Got in an expert, he said, it could be play in the frame so he tightened...

Thanks, actually the old git is well sought after and though he started off well with me is now impossible to get hold of. That's why I'm here. "The b/regs plans need to be submitted for approval" So would be best for architect to submit these and not a builder? Your questions: Yes Working...

So I understand that I need to do something with regards to building regulations. I have the building regulations documents from the same architect who produced the plans and understand these need to be submitted but when and by whom? What are my next choices and steps? Thanks

Thanks verymuch

I installed one of these for my folks a couple of years ago, 4 cameras @1080p - no problems. Can it handle 8 cameras @1080p or is that marketing fluff? Cheers

The architect and a lot of relatives in the building game suggest going for the above combo for our new ground floor extension (taking 3m to 6m). I'm OK with the roof lantern because that's the modern thing to do (right? :)) but to have both? I think their off their horses. We have a big south...

GalaxyGuy, Interesting stuff. I'll keep an eye on your page.

Understood. Thanks for the suggestions. Any examples?
