It needs to be returned for a refund. Any other suggestions are just guessing.

Meaningless without the instructions. As it's made of metal with single insulated conductors inside that is obviously not true.

Impossible to know. As it has no instructions no terminal block no earth connection on what is obviously a metal enclosure no label to indicate who the manufacturer is nothing to suggest what those wires are for nothing indicating what voltage it requires or whether it's AC or DC the only...

It's so you can prepare some stew or other slop, place it in the cold oven, then set the timer and go out to work. The cold slop sits there all day going rotten, and hours later the oven turns on to cook at the set time. Then you are delayed on the way back so the food is burnt to a cinder and...

Don't bother, even if it can be made to work it will acheive nothing. Theoretically it could adjust the flame modulation based on heating demand and might perhaps save 2% on your fuel bill if it was all set up 100% properly and correct and the devices are 100% compatible with each other and all...

Very likely that the version of Android it has is too old and is not supported by modern apps.

How old is this device?

Normal operation for such things. But then the humidity levels outside changed due to rain / cold weather / other. Choices - either spend the rest of your life constantly adjusting the device so it may work correctly for a short time or forget about humidity sensors and get a fan controlled...

That means nothing. Most 'PAT Testing' comprises sticking a label on it. Sometimes it might have been near a machine that passes a few milliamps through the wiring for some purpose or other. Many plugs are cheap poorly made junk. Silver coloured pins are the usual giveaway. Using such a plug...

Yes, but that would mean you need the landing lights on AND the new switch on for the loft light to work. Far better to add the new loft light switch and connect it to a permanent source of power rather than from an existing switched light.

Completely wrong. Type A will trip on some types of fault involving pulsed DC and partial AC waveforms that AC types were not designed to detect. 100mA RCDs are not a substitute for situations that require a 30mA RCD.

If this 'set' involves an impact driver, you can give that a big swerve. There are zero uses for impact drivers when doing electrical installation work.

You do NOT want that. It can make one tiny cup of coffee at a time, and making a single cup will entirely drain a fully charged battery. 100% a novelty item not intended to be used by anyone.

That isn't a thing that any vehicle owner does ever. None. The coolant in it will already contain antifreeze. It might need replacing from time to time, but that involves draining all of what's in there out, disposing of it properly as hazardous waste and refilling the entire system with new...

99.999% of power tools sold on the likes of ebay and other marketplaces as 'second hand' are stolen. There is no ready supply of used power tools in working condition. They are typically used by the owners until they are broken beyond repair. Anyone who buys used power tools is basically...

All of those circuits have individual RCD protection so no problems there.

Yes, provided the circuit has an RCD, which it certainly already should have given the colour of the wiring.

Main earth terminal. Phenolics are brittle and are easily broken both by those installing them and by the usual junk that people insist on storing next to electrical equipment. They also absorb moisture and become conductive, and when both L&N are in the same moulding, carbon tracks can form...

The gas meter sends data to the electricity meter at intervals, not in real time. The home display connects to the electricity meter and gets all of its data from that, mostly real time or certainly every few seconds. The electricity meter is what sends everything to the energy supplier (via the...

Inadequate quantities of socket outlets People who install ring circuits where no ring circuit is required, such as for a utility room or garage, or the mess discovered a couple of months ago where a ring circuit supplied one socket outlet in a bedroom. Rooms with two or more doors and a light...
