    Infared transceiver: HS21A011 IR transceiver

    Looking at it again, I think Random was correct in that it is a simple break beam sensor. And not my suggestion of remote control. It could be used for data, but one way and slow data. Sfk

    As you are pinging it. Have you tried using a browser on another computer and accessing the Pi using 192.168.1.xxx and seeing what is operating? Sfk

    Infared transceiver: HS21A011 IR transceiver

    I presume it is similar to these devices in the following links. Used for one way communication, eg remote controls. Or as a break beam detector sensor for garage door. The two wire device being the transmitter and the other three wire being the receiver...

    Internal Wall Insulation

    Sorry but not fully sure as I am a DIYer. And I did look into this. Sorry to say that everyone has different ideas. I personally tried to minimise space at front and back of PIR simply to make sure I maximised room space as every mm counted. I also made sure that there was no air movement by...

    Internal Wall Insulation

    I would say yes. My (as a DIYer) only putting 25mm of PIR on outside wall of bathroom significantly reduced condensation on tiles. I used 25mm x25mm wood from Wickes, frame screwed into wall (8mm masonry drill bit through wood and into wall and hammer them in). Used frame spacers to ensure all...

    Which size allen key bolt do I need?

    Yes - However I am presuming Chinese cheese bolts is what are already in the chair, which itself is likely from china. I would have recommended better if they were looking to bolt down say a pagoda. Either way - they ordered other bolts (perhaps my ebay or Screwfix A2 Stainless steel...

    Bathroom light trackdown issue.

    When I had this issue I also made the whole length of pipe and the fan as straight as possible between the ceiling hole and the roof hole. Looking at you photo I would sugegst you consider mounting the fan on the wall and putting the Duct pipe as straight as possible. SFK

    Correct testing of small batteries with a multi-meter.

    Always good to have two multimeters.... So my suggestion is this £12 Amazon multimeter has 1.5V and 9V battery tests that I have found worked well (and easier to use than trying to hold a resistor and test leads). Unfortunately no longer for sale on Amazon. But I think old new stock being sold...

    Candy Washing Machine Help

    My washing machine does that when it decides it is not balanced. Often seems to happen with a single heavy item. It seems to be a normal (annoying) function to save the bearings.

    removing a bathroom light pull switch

    In that case, why not put a light switch in the bathroom itself? How far would a light switch be from the bath or shower? (ignore the sink as that does not count).

    removing a bathroom light pull switch

    Madogkewis Taking a step back for the moment... Do you know how you will physically get a wire from from the new light or from the old pull light switch to that 3gang light switch? Asking as if you did not have a solution to that,(which is often the most difficult part ) then no point...
