Philips Hue outdoor sensor with Hue compatible bulbs and a Hue hub (zigbee) has proved to be very reliable but pricier than cheaper Wi-Fi stuff

All of my other downstairs and outside lights have been Hue for some time, it was just finding a decent solution for the downstairs cloakroom where I used a Tapo Wi-Fi no neutral switch previously. I have found all Tapo stuff to be pretty good, but their light switches, Motion sensors, and some...

My final solution was to use a Hue Motion sensor and a Sonoff Zigbee no neutral switch behind a standard rocker light switch. This works perfectly with Home Assistant, but I needed to add a Zigbee dongle to my Home Assistant Green, but this now gives me the ability to add other Zigbee devices...

Appreciate the help, many thanks

Really strong Wi-Fi signal everywhere. So a Shelly on the extraction fan would seem best? I’m a little unsure about the wiring. If the wall light switch is left switched on, how would I wire the Shelly into the wiring going to the extraction fan? I have just started to integrate a Home Assistant...

I’ve seen those Shelly switches but never looked into them. Where would you suggest fitting, would it be behind the switched spur or up with the extraction fan?

My downstairs cloakroom currently has a Tapo smart wall switch (no neutral required) to switch on cloakroom lights and a ceiling extractor fan with has a timed run on. The switch is controlled with a Tapo motion sensor in the cloakroom. I’m trying to simplify my whole system, upstairs rooms are...

Indeed, decided to get my plumber guy to come over and change to the normal isolation valves, I can see a disaster looming if I start pulling it apart myself

Thanks everyone, new isolation valves it is then

The view of the isolation valves is from underneath looking up, so both tails connect to the base of the current mixer tap

No, existing one is a mixer

Any adapters available to connect the new tap tails to the existing valve? Maybe swap tails or just replace the isolation valves?

Hi, about to replace a basin tap, there are a type of isolation valve that I’ve not seen before, how do they work, and will my new tap connect to them or do I need adapters?

Thanks for that , will take a look

Nothing there

Hi, I have two Tre Mecarti concealed shower mixers. Last year one developed a leak around the flow or on off control knob, and I had some difficulty obtaining a spare. Number two now leaking, and the one place I found to supply has gone into liquidation. The valve I need is a Tre Mecarti TMV001...

Thanks for the prompt answer and diagram :) Really appreciate that, will dig out some connector blocks for isolation purposes. Would heat shrink work to isolate as space in wall box will be tight, and I have a load in the garage?

I found a few old posts, but none looked quite like mine. I want to change my landing light switch to a one way smart type, but need help on the wiring behind the old rocker switch. The new smart one way switch is a no neutral no capacitor type which I have successfully used in other rooms for...

Sure did but thanks for the input. Quite impressed with the switches so far, they work well
