I have been following Energenie / MiHome for a few years after getting the plug adapters initially and like yourself had mixed opinions however I kept chatting to the tech guys and they kept me on hold for year as I was pushing for specific things like the dual light switch which was taking a...

Hi all Have been using MiHome from Energenie for a couple of years but only as far as the plug-in adapters but have now replaced 90% of the light switches in the house with the single switches. I am also playing with IFTTT to try and automate a few things like geofencing etc so would welcome...

Response from GMC Tools

I have been in touch with B&Q and they said as they no longer carry the model then they cannot provide a manual. I have emailed GMC from that link you provided (the one I had found previously was broken) and am awaiting a reply

Appreciate your reply but this isn't the same router table. Some elements might be similar but I am looking for the specific manual for that model.

Hi all Picked up one of these from the local classified ads and looks fairly stable but could do with a manual as the power tools are interchangeable. Pretty sure it wont be rocket science but the nerd in me loves an instruction manual!!! If anyone has a scan or one that they can photocopy...

I agree Pete50 and that was the crux of my argument, I hadnt put the items into a skip. The tip police claimed that as I was on their property then all items belonged to them, I would even go as far to say this would be a claim that I dont think the Council would support and it was the idiot at...

Morning All Over the weekend I did the tip run but not at my local site and this time got rid of a few broken slates and also a fire hearth surround. As I was unloading the items a bloke came up and said 'can I have them', as I thought they would go to someone using them I said 'yep, no...

Cause I would make a complete hash of it. A couple of them are in a plastered wall and if I were to replace the box then I could balls up the plastered wall. Thanks for the link, that looks ideal for what I am after.

I've been searching for the wrong thing!!

Am upgrading a few light switches around the house but the new switches are deeper than some of the boxes that are in situ. For the surface mounted boxes then thats not a problem (just get a deeper box) but the those which are sunken into the wall is an issue cause I cant knock any more of the...

Hi all I have just bought myself a HIVE Nano Hub v2 (which came with a lightbulb!) and I want to use it with our boiler. I see a lot of used Hive accessories up for sale and have no problem using preused kit but is the v2 hub compatible with all the v1 accessories? I would like to think that...

Okay so having a quick look on eBay and YouTube it seems using one or two dual USB outlet sockets with a fuse tap then this shouldnt be a major job. I am looking at either of these sockets:-...

Never seen one of these before. Looks like I havent meddled with auto electrics in recent times to need one. I take it they just run from the fuse box?? I guess YouTube will be my resource on this one.

Do you think it is viable to connect an additional four USB sockets without any detrimental effect?

Like those links especially where I could install a spare lighter socket and USB sockets in the glove box and run the cables back to there. Appreciate your reply.

Good Afternoon All As like many others (I guess) I have a dashcam, DAB adapter, SatNav etc in my car and only find that I have one or two USB power outlets via my cigarette lighter. As some of these toys are in the car all the time then it would make sense to connect them to a power source...

That would be some considerable work considering that there is a cold space void underneath the floor. The house was built in 1902.

Thanks for the first replies. I have used large 18" tiles in a previous hearth but as this one may be more functional (the other has a gas fire on it) then I was looking for something more substantial. If you need to extend the depth of the hearth over the current floorboards then I was...

Hi All We are looking at putting a wood burner in one of our reception rooms and rather than a polished hearth we are looking for something more 'rustic'. I was thinking of pouring a concrete hearth on top of some cement board and shuttering it to make a form. has anyone else done this and do...
