Oh, when you said I thought like me, you were using Google Nest Mini's, so I need to turn on lights with phone while sitting in the car, but once I walk through the door, I just add "hey google" in front of the command, and it does it. Hey google turn kitchen lights red, and it will do just...

I did the same with temporary dinning room lighting, when using it as a bedroom, set up button on the bed it was never used, wife used voice control instead. The button is now our doorbell push.

So now it is "hey google turn on living room light" and "hey google turn off living room light" so why do you need second switch?

I am reasonable sure in your case if you turn off the MCB/RCBO in the consumer unit you will be safe. The fitting of solar panels without a battery is a bit hit-and-miss. There is no way I can look at the weather, and work out if I can run the tumble drier (which takes 2.5 hours) direct from...

So if you have seen the light, now let me add solar into the mix. When using solar PV to heat DHW we have a sensor so a current transformer monitors when we are exporting and how much, and the immersion heater is only activated when otherwise we would be exporting, and also only to a rate which...

My supply from the main consumer unit is isolated by turning off the isolator, and can be turned off by turning off a RCBO, only one of my RCBOs isolated the supply (turns off both lives, line and neutral) but in the main I will take a chance and just turn off the line. But I have three outlets...

Not really, you are altering the wiring, I look at this and I count wires into one terminal, and it seems we have supply in, supply to light, and supply to other switch. So three cables. Supply to other switch is likely the cable with one wire going to com, and using a meter easy enough to...

Using a torque screwdriver, one looses the feel, and easy to make errors.

This is correct, but it seems @Murdochcat is not looking at a domestic property, and also not going to own the property, he is looking at a change in use, so some of it may become domestic in the future, but since he, it seems, will not own the property, much depends on who was in the past libel...

In the 2008 versions there was a full stop, which some people selected to ignore, but reading it correctly over sleeving was not permitted even back then. Also, there is a requirement to take an earth and terminate it at all but a pendent light bulb, which seems to have been ignored with many a...

The yellow adaptor is a capacitor which will pass AC current, so it is basic a load on the switch even with bulbs removed, which is wasting energy if not required. I found with G9 bulbs I needed the load capacitor, with GU10 most would work without it, and E28 and BA22d never needed to fit one...

It did seem the problem was some terminals were not forced open, and one could fit a MCB etc, where the bus bar tag was the wrong side of the clamp, causing a poor connection which resulted in over heating, and the metal consumer unit was a knee-jerk reaction to this problem. But with a TT...

Two of the three switches it seems to have a neutral, but need as said to follow what the manufacturer says, each make is different, there is no one diagram fits all.

Each make can have their own method The Energenie MIHO43 instructions here the TP-Link (Tapo) use a wireless button for second switch, which there is a version with a square cover surround, S200D has the cover S200B without cover most battery operated devices need a hub, direct to a router uses...

On another thread, a question resulted in my looking at instructions for the Honeywell Homes T3, T3M & T3R thermostat, in these instructions it shows So it does seem some thermostats allow manual setting on how many times it can cycle per hour.

Thank you, reading the instructions has helped with another consideration, but looking at the picture I can't see how you could get more than P4 to show on the display, so even in installer menu can't see it being available, but one would need the thermostat to test it. It does show in the...

It states qualified person. it does not say must have City & Guilds 2391, but it does imply that.

I remember the first house, with a car port (undercover drying area) and that was ideal, no dashing out to bring in washing, or re-washing due to bird lime. The garden BBQ and soot was less of a problem, but all in all, rewashing resulted in moving to the tumble drier to save money. Yes, it was...

Oh, I do like that idea. Problem is we both nod off.

I can't see how the flow would start, if already flowing then likely to continue, but hot water would not likely go down the pipe to start the process. Had it with central heating, and DHW with C Plan, turn the boiler on everything cold, and just DHW heated, but have the pump running, and then...
