Home Improvements/DIY

…and remember that if you ever change/increase the number of bulbs in your light fitting… as long as the wattage within the light switch remains higher than the accumulation wattage of the bulbs, the dimmer should give you many years of good service :0) :+1:

with the inexpensiveness of LED bulbs these days (go to IKEA!!) should never overload a dimmer…

Stop begging guys.

Anyone here know much about HVAC systems? I think I’ve just been screwed by the company who installed our new system.

We paid the premium to upgrade the heat pump to variable speed. But reading through the instructions on the smart thermostat (ecobe) it came with it looks like these only support single speed fan control.

Have I really just extra for hardware features that my thermostat cannot utilize or is there some black magic that’s going to allow it to run at variable speed anyway?

It’s been known that these companies send basic controllers, even to upgraded systems.

want suggestions on external lighting with a controller. There will be about 25 lights arranged in series connection. Want a controller which will allow me to control which lights to power on

My Sunday view. Didnt last long in the heat

Are those shingles ?

We were thinking on those as well for the farmhouse. We went in for concrete roof tiles instead.

The person where I purchased the roof tiles warned that shingles with the sloped concrete roof can’t often withstand heat of 40C and are more often used for cooler countries.

Wrt this. I want basically the functionality a relay driven system controlled via CAT5 cables. Each relay will control one electricity point. Those relays are then connected via the cat 5 cables to the controller which is then connected to the internet network for me to control remotely.

For people who have idea on this , which controllers and relays are to be procured ? And what are the key factors when getting those.

The idea being that I want to have as less cables as possible. And still be in a position to control lights within the house and on the exterior.
