    Castle/Pyronix Euro 46 Area Set

    Isolation Transformer - A discussion

    Following on from a recent discussion that moved slightly off topic and into the pros & cons of isolation transformers, I thought I would start a separate learned discussion :) So, the scenario : A temporary outside decoration is to consist of a 20m length of festoon cabling with 40 coloured...

    WiFi Forum?

    Does anybody know of a WiFi Forum? I'm not so much thinking of the config/setup/keyboard based stuff like SSIDs & security etc, more the RF bit - propagation through materials (like racking), mounting heights, whats the effect of too strong a WiFi signal etc etc. Any pointers?

    BT FTTP Broadband

    Anybody using it yet? I've noticed that the PON connector boxes have appeared on the poles down our street so its on the way. The BT page suggests that I can order it ... upto 900Mbps download (450 guaranteed) with 110 Mbps upload for £59.99 per month. Seriously considering moving from Virgin.

    Resistor Ladder calculation

    I know this is a little outside the scope of this forum, but I also know that some of the members here have an electronics/maths background.

    Pyronix/Castle Euro log entries

    One for the Euro guys..... Looking at the log for a system that I maintain, one users' activity always shows up as "Special Unset" whereas everybody else shows up as "Unset". I guess there must be a difference in the way that user is setup, but I can't spot it. Any ideas? All users are using...

    CCTV Camera Outouts

    Hotpoint Washer Drum Bearing

    We have a Hotpoint WMYL8352PUK washing machine with bad drum bearings. The bearings don't seem to be listed anywhere... only the whole drum assembly. Is this one of the machines were it isn't possible to split the drum or am I just not looking hard enough?

    Castle/Pyronix InSite

    Any Insite experts out there? (This is not a thread about obtaining the software: I already have it, its about not being able to get it to communicate with a particular panel).

    TCP Smart 'bulbs' and smart sockets

    Anybody else tried these? I purchased two of each from ASDA. Very disappointed. The Android app frequently reports one or more of the units as being "offline" even when it isnt. The lamps seem to get confused & turn on at random (no, I haven't set up a switching schedule). I'm on the verge...
