Hi all, for a long time I have just had three Hive TRV's. One in my bedroom, one in my bathroom and one in the spare bedroom. I have just installed 6 more Hive TRV's for the remaining radiators in the house (except the main bathroom rad what intentionally does not have a TRV) and wanted to know...

I assume uk-automation has closed for business as it has had a "Down for Maintenance" message on the site for a while now. Just wondering if anyone on here knows anything more about what happed to the business? Regards: Elliott.

Just added some Hive TRV valves to my Hive system the other day, and noticed I could not control them from the Hive website at https://my.hivehome.com/ like I could with the mobile app. Below is what I get: Clicking on a TRV... Hive-TRV-Dashboard by eveares posted 18 Sep 2019 at 10:31 PM...

Long story short, the Fibaro FGS-223 module was inside a IP56 enclosure outdoors that controls the driveway lights, and I was having wireless rage issues between the module and my Z-Wave enabled Samsung SmartThings hub. After much trouble with the module only working when the SmartThings hub...

Just a quick post that some on here may find amusing. The other day I replaced the non-dimmable LED light bulbs in the living room and downstairs hallway with dimmable counterparts as they can be used with automated Z-Wave switches what don't require a neutral connection. (Hallway and Living...

I Installed 1.4 Meters worth of RGB LED strip light at the back of my desk a couple of months ago as I had some spare from the main qtx RGB strip light in my kitchen that I installed a few years ago. With my recent move to sell my outdated X10 Automation and to slowly invest in the Z-Wave and...

So replaced the two old ugly X10 appliance light switches in my bedroom and installed a new Fibaro FGS-222 Z-Wave enabled relay module inside a 47mm dry-line back box along with a standard double switch for local control. Pain in the *** to get it all in the back box and get the switch screwed...

I have a lot of X10 gear laying around from over the years that I am going to try and sell as it is becoming to slow and unreliable for me. Simply put, a big-ish 4 bedroom house and lots of electronic noise on the power line from various devices including LED light bulbs means that X10 will not...

Just thought I would share my rather niche and oddball project making use of a large area in my home coupled with my home automation components along with my knowledge of web development. What I effectively have done is allowed people all over the world to to control my very own Christmas...
