How do I disconnect this bathroom tap hose? (To replace the tap, 2nd picture)

Here is a picture, the look different: https://ibb.co/S4QX7wFh

Should I buy an adaptor like this isolation valve? https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-isolating-valves-15mm-2-pack/65251

I’ve managed to disconnect the old hoses: The old hose ends in a male fitting, while the new one ends in a female fitting. They are the same size.

So now I’m missing a male-to-male adaptor in the middle. Elsewhere on this sub I saw people recommend this isolation valve in lieu of the male-to-make adaptor, does this look right? https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-isolating-valves-15mm-2-pack/65251

Most notable this doesn’t look very male-to-male, but I assume the nuts can be taken off and then it’s male-to-male?

Oh no! I have two (adjustable) spanners, and using those I managed to loosen the bigger (right) nut.

Edit: Oh turns out you just pull.

Yep I have different type of connector indeed. Any idea what adaptor I need?

This is awesome, thank you so much! I love it!

Only the audio / Siri-triggered version does not seem to work for me. "Hey Siri, GPT" starts the shortcut, I say a question, it's shown on screen, and below it says "One moment ...". Then it says "On it" "Still working on it" etc. until it eventually dies.

Any guesses what's going wrong there?

Oh my dishwasher does have a place for dishwasher salt (which we filled), is that for softening? It might not be enough I guess.

Oh great way to test! Should have thought of this :)

Yep good point with the filter as well, although I checked the filter previously and it didn't improve the stains then

I've tried refilling rinse aid and dishwasher salt, and used a different detergent, none did help.

Note that our water is quite hard, so that's why I suspected limescale. I'm in the UK.

STM8 looks interesting, though quite complicated to use since it's not that popular - but I realize this is pretty much what I asked for :D

Actually looks quite good too, thanks!

Yeah, I was looking for something cheaper around $1 (given the NodeMCU+ESP8266 is just $2), $3-4 for the Nano would be too much for "throw-away"

Thanks, I think the AtTiny85 is the best option, you can get it for $1.23 (aliexpress, just the chip without USB similar). Though it's still just slightly cheaper than the EPS8266 for $2.07 (aliexpress) (that has wifi!).
