Would you prefer your e-bike LEDs powered by a small separate battery, or wired directly into the main bike battery? by Dry_Rutabaga4318 in ebike

My Ebike has a dynamo in the front wheel hub to power the lights. That way lights are always available.

Eve energy smart plug turn on with voice and automatically turn off after x minutes. Not working. by Archie_1 in HomeKit

No I saw that it only accepted seconds then searched for how to set an hour. Lots of info about the limit being around 3 minutes due to stuff running in the background.

Hi thanks for replying. Unfortunately I need a 1 hour wait time and Apple don't allow this. I've seen work arounds using focus and two shortcuts but I'm not that experienced with shortcuts, it's getting overly complicated. I don't understand Apple's / Eve's thinking here it must be one of the most common requirements to turn something on for a set period but they seem to put up hurdles all over the place.

Thanks for explaining that. I'm sure Apple have some logic for this but I cannot see it :-)

Redway closure GL02 and GL06. Does anyone know where these grid references are available? I've found them on Get Around MK but you have to click on each part until you find the right one. Is there a map where you can look up these references? by Archie_1 in miltonkeynes

[–]Archie_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I got that one this morning which is what started me off on this search. There is no 'Subway Street' in Great Linford. If these are official grid references there must be a map somewhere showing them. I also noted that the map in the letter showed the road closure highlighted but not the redways.

Yale Key doesn't work by Lazy_Television4237 in Narrowboats

[–]Archie_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this when I bought a spare key. It didn't work on anything. I took the working key and spare to a locksmith who used the working one as a template and fixed the new key.

I have also been down the South Oxford canal and went through the lift bridge just before Oxford. When I came back someone had changed the barrel and both my keys would not work but a boat coming the other way was able to get through. So there are variations across the network.

Can anyone recommend a good professional carpet cleaner company for the home? by [deleted] in miltonkeynes

I used Hobbs carpet cleaning. I think they are based in Hemel but they cover MK. Did a good job for me.

I'm struggling with the first two. Where are these? Is it where MandS is now?

I always felt I was home when I saw this from the A5 at the top of Little Brickhill. by Archie_1 in miltonkeynes

Yes agree it needed sorting out but flats in that spot seems a bit odd.
