Not quite GPT but this is getting real now.......

As of tonight I now have a fully working heating system with the TRVs and Hive. All lights now controlled by Hue light switches with an aftermarket light switch cover over the old light switches that the Hues fit into. So no switching the lights off anymore. Also been working on a custom...

Played the first two chapters last night. Really good fun, most under powered guns and over powered shield I think I've ever seen. Might get a bit repetitive though.

I've got the Sonoff in the office. https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/sonoff-zigbee-smart-relay-with-neutral?variant=54923427086715 I use this place for my Sonoff gear which had a neutral. https://shop.pimoroni.com/ But they also do a non neutral one as well that I think I'll need for the...

Good weekend coming up. Delivered tomorrow: 6 Sonoff TRVs 2 Sonoff Motion Sensors 2 Sonoff Press Switches 7 Hue Light Switches 5 Light Switch covers 2 Tapo Colour Bulbs 2 Tapo Smart plugs

I went for the fixed seat because the reviews I saw said there was quite a bit of flex on the back for reclining chairs under heavy braking. Also, because I have the right hand side of mine up against the wall, with the handbrake being able to move the seat back is a saviour for getting in and...

It is rails on the rig itself. So yeah, it is not the seat, it is the rails that come loose fixing to the rig. I guess that is standard whatever seat you get.

July 2026? I've got the Prime Lite Which I think is the same as the R but comes with the side mount, I've got the monitor mount fixed to the rig as well, probably wouldn't do that if I went back again although it does look quite cool. Only other issue I have is that I need to tighten the seat...

Yes and no. 100% agree it would have been easier to just setup with an all Hive system but the Hive TRVs at £30 each more than the Sonoff. I think I need 8 so that is £240 saved straight off. Not looked into it yet but I can set scenes in Home Assistant. So I guess it would be possible to do...

Let me know if you need a soundtrack. I'll dig my triangle out.

More progress at lunch today (proper boring but I'm excited) Been trying to get my head around how I could reliably turn the heating on and off if I had multiple TRVs in HA telling the Hive when it needed to switch the boiler on and off. Much time of head scratching I decided I needed one thing...

My Eufy S340 has been up a few months now and records on motion/people in performance mode not battery and it hasn't dropped below 80% battery life yet. Get a ping most mornings to say it is fully charged. Great bit of kit.

Some more progress recently. Hive Thermostat installed Sonoff TRV installed. I've got them both added to Home Assistant now so when I get chance I'll check I can control them from there and then work out the automation to control the Hive from what the Sonoff TRVs are wanting. Also got a...

He is going to be the caddy.
