Possibly doing what it is doing now - HW and heating generally used at the same time. Hw on only and the boiler doesn’t strike up.

It worked before we changed it …… But. …….. It was always with heating and hot water at the same time. Single channel clock so couldn’t run them at different times so it may have had the same behaviour before without us noticing as both were generally on. When heating wasn’t wanted we...

Fitted a hive system last week and while the hive is working it isn’t switching the system as expected. The boiler is a Potterton Kingfisher (about 45 years old) previous controller was a Potterton EP2000 (heating and water switching at the same time). Y plan with 3 way valve. We get hot water...

Thanks, looks like CEF stock them. Looked at the layout again and it needs a 2 gang intermediate so 1x2 gang plus 2x 1 gang intermediates.

Looking for a twin switch with at least one intermediate (not worried if it is two) but those I can find, including grid switches, all have rounded faceplates. Can anyone point me at one with this profile as everything also in the house looks like this (although way older)...

Would prefer hard wired but it is a new house and wife won’t want me digging channels in it.

Was about to start a similar thread, we will be moving home in Feb and I don’t particularly want to be running cables for a wired alarm. Looking at Ring / ERA. Son has a Ring system which seems OK. Which are the most reliable and simplest to set up, which are to be avoided? Not worried about...

We decided to run triple to future proof

We are fitting wardrobes to an 80s house we moved into last year. Having removed the ancient ‘robes there were four cables running down the corner of the wall. One coax which is redundant. Two twin & e which are redundant And….. one twin and earth which is the supply to a room stat. OK...

Not very lift is on ropes, some are on hydraulic rams and they can gradually lose height if the power is shut off. Used to work in a 2 storey building with a lit like this, it developed a problem and the facilities manager propped the first floor door open (lift at first floor) and barriered it...

Dual band comms hubs give more range for the home network (970ish MHz as well as the standard 2.4GHz) that the comms hub runs for meters and other smart devices and they only come in SMETS 2 so if you have reception issues with the IHD or any other device that needs to communicate with the...

1980 ish house and one of the newel posts is moving quite a bit. Thought it would be simple to add some steel brackets to a joist but it is a little congested see second photo. The newel is not sitting on the thick joist! I thought I would be able to screw through the thick joist into the...

Thanks, THIS is what we are looking for.

That is close, just want the change to full lighting to be manual rather than sensor……. Will see if there is one that can be modified.

Fine, but I presume we need the app on the occasions when we want full brightness during the normal dim period, I.e. when putting the little ones to bed in winter when it is dark.

We don’t want to use spoken instructions at night which may rule out smart bulbs.

Not used smart bulbs but son has, will ask him.

We are trying to avoid plug in night lights as toddlers will fiddle with anything they can reach!

Seen similar questions posted a long time ago but don’t answer the question. We want a low level of light on the landing all night but don’t want full brightness and don’t want a dimmer (leds and multiple switching points) i.e. normal light when on but low level light when “off”. Anyone point...

When did any of you last lose your phone line? A lot of fuss over nothing.
