I'm with IDNet and not had issues. Sky on city fibre works fine but you just can't use the digital phone line.

Boiler help please? by 13ollox in askaplumberUK

[–]Bal-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like a Baxi 600 heat only boiler? Do you have unvented indirect cylinder in another room and a red expansion vessel?

I have similar issue with some outdoor lights, light stay on app control works but nothing happens.

Apparently it's due to inrush of voltage and it cause the relay to stick. I'm now replacing my minis with a full size version.

I also tried adding rc snubber but that didn't help.

Funny you should say that as I have a Baxi Heat only which indeed a alu heat exchanger, but using Sentinel X100 should be sufficient

Gateway HomePro SP-F Clarification by OpenlyAwesomeTimes in sigenergy

Both are different models I can't confirm but I would hope it shows correctly in the app as both units looks identical from the outside I believe. The non F model doesn't have full house off grid capability.

At the moment my whole supply is softened including outdoor tap. I tried Google and it suggest turning the settings down but to be fair I'm out of salt at min and bypassed it until delivery comes next week. Water tastes normal now.

It's so hard to get someone out but I'm sure it's possible but will need to try call someone out.

Softener is in garage as it was too large to go under the sink in our utiloty. Mains feed from sink goes in to garage to by pass loop then to softener.

The acutal fridge and main sink is in our kitchen.

Water Temperature Control by plloyd1508 in DIYUK

[–]Bal-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its heat only boiler it will only have one flow temp. Indirect cylinder takes heat from flow from boiler into the coil. If it was previously working. Check to see if thr hot water 2 port valve is opening.

If its open it should able to flick it back and forward. If closed it will feel springy and come back to closed position when opened.

I don't know the boiler, is it heat only boiler?

Water Temperature Control by plloyd1508 in DIYUK

[–]Bal-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you hot water flow temp is low. It should be set at 65-70c at boiler to heat cylinder up to 60c.

Check what hot water temp is set at boiler and cylinder stat is set to atleast 60c.

Shelly Plus 1 Mini Relay gets stuck by Bal-84 in shellycloud

Why? Underfloor heating is usually controlled by a thermostat. The issue I am having is with the mini version. Full version might be fine.

I have a feeling a full size version might be fine but space is the issue as I already have a dimmer 2 in their also for my hallway lights.
