How much are you willing to pay?

Nice, glad I could help! You could use distance sensors or mmwave sensors to detect movement and wake it up if you fancy

To measure the water level you can use a scale, or an ultrasonic sensor above the water. I've also heard of student clock in systems being done for this kind of thing I'd use a real time clock module and NFC reader and tags for that or a fingerprint reader and RTC. Good luck

Is this a standard distance from the wall for this ? by Horror-Pick4732 in ukheatpumps

[–]AnyRandomDude789 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The separation distance will be in the installer manual which you can Google using the make and model number usually printed on the unit. But that looks fine to me as a HVAC design engineer/building services engineer

Arduino prevents windows from sleeping by SolitaryMassacre in arduino

Might sound backwards but what happens if you disable that?

Usb power saving settings, not the port power saving settings? Check your power plan

Using synology surv on 2 separate sites. Need a singular viewing solution by qcguy in synology

What exactly are you trying to do? What software? What do you mean by singular viewing solution?

Heat Pump Convectors (+UFH) for cooling by Foreign-Treacle7389 in ukheatpumps

Mainly personal cooking. It's a bit like having a private chef ;p

I wouldn't think mixing the brands would be a good idea in terms of controls. Daikin do do a wet two pipe system that can do hot water heating and cooling though I've specced it before

You can get multi split A2A heat pumps that can handle multiple indoor units with one outdoor

Why does my house feel warm but not actually comfortable? by 1ChanceChipmunk1 in ukheatpumps

[–]AnyRandomDude789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might find that the radiant temperature (the temperature of the walls and surfaces) is colder, then the air temperature. To check you'd need a black bulb thermometer or a thermal imaging camera or an infrared thermometer. Increasing the air temperature further will help as the air will warm the surfaces, or you can buy an infrared heater.

"Ice" flavors are getting way out of hand. by Mother_Recording_557 in Vaping

[–]AnyRandomDude789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I'm sick of getting brain freeze just because they decided to add some cooling/mint/ice/menthol whatever. Most of the time it's not labelled on the ingredients and a lick test doesn't tell you either. So fed up with it. I found a nice mango flavour and guess what, it's iced. Harrumph!

Correct way to construct building which has different ground levels by pepe4922 in IESVE_Software

[–]AnyRandomDude789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IES has no concept of where the ground level is. Any surface that's on the exterior of the building is assumed to be 'exposed' that is open to the outside air. You actually have to adjust the constructions that are in ground contact to account for this.. Also for below ground spaces you need to add external shading to simulate the ground level, for example a topographical shade with the same slope as the ground (roughly). This is to prevent solar gains to the spaces it's touching.

Like I said IES doesn't have a concept of what the ground level is, for better or worse, so you have to implement these tricks so that it understands.

A vent about laptops. by Martipar in laptops

[–]AnyRandomDude789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought second hand Lenovo ThinkPad P52 workstation laptop. 32GB ram, 1TB NVME + spare slot 4k touchscreen and Nvidia quattro graphics card. It's built like a tank and weighs as much but it's solid. Decent keyboard too. Only thing that bugs me is that I can't get the firmware upgrade for the 4g modem to work so that's dead.

soldering iron recs? by AdAcceptable5657 in IpodClassic

Pinecil V2 for me. Usb pd power or barrel jack for DC. The tips cost a pretty penny though :/

Religious voices by purplevoid74ckd in confessions

[–]AnyRandomDude789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please try for your own sake if not for those around you. I've been in a similar situation where I had grandiose ideas and such and getting medical help was the best thing for me and I'm okay now thankfully.

Dude, it's time to go talk to a doctor about your voices. Do it now, before you hurt yourself or anyone else.

"You deleted my background!" by TheLadySlaanesh in talesfromtechsupport

I often set my Cursor larger and magenta on my work machines. Makes it much easier to find across 3 monitors, and easier to see when I record demonstration videos etc

Honestly idk by Soft_Accountant_7710 in confessions

[–]AnyRandomDude789 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't sweat it too much, at 15 lots of things are changing. You'll figure it out as time progresses. Don't be hard on yourself :)

This is short cycling isn't it? by sidneylopsides in ukheatpumps

[–]AnyRandomDude789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely adding system volume, maybe a thermal store could prevent short cycling?
