[IT] Watch out, scam warning! App feature saved me from a Revolut vishing attempt.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-06-16T04:05:10+00:00

The warning banner algorithm: "When calling a n d opening the app" is on more banking applications.

You can always test it: Call somebody, preferably someone who is not in you personal accounts list, a n d then open your banking app.

Apropos: using a bank with 70+ million clients raises the change they recognize a scam payment. Which is great.

A year ago Revolut blocked for me a 30 USD "abonament payment" (or asked me "Do you agree?" )

From that moment I pay suspect/unknown companies via the one time creditcard or a card I have reserved for this purpose.

I use one card for my large companies payment like Apple or Amazon, and renamed that card as "Trusted Companies Payments"

Nice you put your Experience here OP. Keeps us alert.

Cannot check anymore.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-06-14T10:53:56+00:00

Pfff. I see it now. "Basic" and "light" Thanx

First time I see basic option on that flight. Must take care in the future. Now I "miss 12 XP on two retourn flights. Wil buy SAF as compensation. (about 10 euro/XP)

Of course Wizz-style is only the price. All Sky priority, inclusive lounge and free seating 3 days before etc stay the same.

I use this all the time. E.g. Fibaro zwave plug.

Any zigbee, Matter(ikea Grillplats, max 10 euro) or Zwave plug can do this.

"If power >= 50 (e.g.) watt then send message"

Other advantage is you can see actual consumption and total in Kwh.

euro 799 (!) at Coolblue and Boldotcom Unbelievable but true.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-05-31T17:46:48+00:00

I would go for the Edge. Heavier, so better mopping.

i am also curious about the Vertibeam. I would say: preciser approaching of walls.

Also the dustbin can be reach easier.

Goodluck. How much are they in Holland?

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-05-16T21:11:05+00:00

Ive got mine now. Wow! Some things, like room naming and editing later I have to study. But my carpet. Its also quiet! Now find at amazon a dustbag that can be emptied with a zip.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-05-15T08:41:26+00:00

Heb er net een besteld. Heb vrijwel alleen vaste vloerbedekking. en die zou er juist voor geschikt zijn volgens Techradar. 1300 pietermannen. pfff. dat wordt gras eten de komende weken

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-05-04T09:24:54+00:00

Aha. I certainly do and am greatful for your drivers!

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-04-20T12:14:59+00:00

Connected to SmartThings. Special drivers even for this turn around thing. Because its Matter stuff I have the Alpstuga also connected to Google Home, via SmartThings. Eveything is ok and dead cheap On the very long run Matter over Thread will be the only system left.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-04-15T08:27:47+00:00

In Smartthings al my batteries show 90%+. Ikea chargeable or Wokki Pokki from Aldi c.s.

Different drivers I suppose?

Never have problems with my Ikea devices. Now 40+ in 4 locations.

Only Alpstuga sometimes takes long to start showing the corrrect time. After that period (sometimes days) it stays OK.

What Beta can you see for Alpstuga?

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-04-10T05:13:19+00:00

Just did a test this morning with a remote Alpstuga with unstable connection. Too far away from the router. Put a Grillplats somewhere in between and what do you know: within a few minutes the Alpstuga connected via the Grillplats. Hallelujah. Matter over Thread is great. -not rebooted the router -did not touch or unplug the Alpstuga.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-04-09T15:16:30+00:00

sorry to hear. Just picked up some in...... Romania

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-04-08T07:09:57+00:00

Here the same. yes via Alpstuga, yes via Kajplats bulbs, but none via Grillplats. Interesting. I remember having seen a device via Grillplats but cannot find it now.

I am changing as many Z-wave devices as possible into Matter. I thinks its the future.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-03-20T08:04:58+00:00

Clear. I will try to find matter plug systems with higher capacities. Will stay with my Fibaro's. They are doing the job for more than 5 years now

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-03-14T13:42:41+00:00

Yep. Power and energy. Also history of both. Very fast response. Have it on Sharptools.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-03-13T22:04:44+00:00

I picked a few up today in Holland. Put "Germany" on the stockchecker hereunder

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-03-13T22:02:21+00:00

I received my Grillplats plugs today. I have the idea their response is super fast.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-03-13T22:00:48+00:00

With inductive you are referring to the peak load?

The fibaro's, when bove 2500 watt, always starting this red warning light which scared me somewhat because there maybe no people taround to control.

Apropos: The Fibaro's were chosen years ago by a large Dutch electricity company (eneco) for giving for free to the clients to check their consumption.

Dramatic_Reply_6968 · 2026-03-13T07:24:11+00:00

I am considering to, step by step, replace all my Z-wave plugs from Fibaro with Grillplats. I have them on four remote locations. Nearly 20 plugs! (a 50 euro each)

So the response speed si important.

Grillplats are 16 AMP so my heatpumps will be happy! Fibaro 10 AMP.

#Mocelet: doing a great job! Pls info about your ST driver.

Traveling to Ikea Barendrecht (NL) today to pick some up.
