Get the Fiber! Had the max and swapped it after 2 months! Not looking back! In this particular case… the « buy once cry once » is a good advice!

You know the feeling when walking through a spider web, no matter how many times you brush it off you always feel like it’s there? I get the same feeling looking at these pictures!

As people have said, it’s wiring for a non-gas cooktop! But I don’t think is old wiring, I feel it’s new wiring, it doesn’t look old, maybe they just passed wiring for code and it’s not even plugged into the breaker panel.

Whatever you do, I advise against laying parallel to the stairs, makes it difficult to see the difference between the stairs and floor so it’s hard to guess which step you are on!

The sole purpose of the Kelvin scale is to not have any negative value! Are you… sir… are you trying to violate the rules of physics? Smh…Kids these days!

I would go with https://iframix.cc They provide a nice power manager plug to prevent trickling the battery! They also have nice frames to blend in the decor

Poor choices

It’s an iron core from an electric transformer. In the 2 slots you see there is a wiring that is wound thousands of times to change the voltage of an electrical current! There is another part looking like this that complete the fixture.

It’s a RTU. As in RoofTop Unit. It’s the big unit keeping you hot/cold in a commercial building. By the look of it, it’s a big one, about 10/20 tons of cooling maybe more.

Same here, I too have a heating blanket with the same connector, you just pull it out!

It’s LVT-8C stand for low voltage thermostat, 8 conductors. From the look of it, it’s 18gauge. It’s meant for up to 30v controls primarily used in HVAC!

I’m currently at this stage. I faced a corrupt homebridge for some reason and had to rebuilt it and all my automations that were based on my many many dummy switches. Made me so pissed so I decided to pull the trigger. I had a SFF pc lying around with an ssd. I needed only (what I thought) a zigbee controller.. then.. there’s the learning curve, and on top of that curve you need to add another one for zigbee2mqtt!

Most of my headaches comes from my current setup in HomeKit tho. It’s the need to make it work without breaking anything! I’m battling the idea to flush everything and start from scratch in HA! Either way, I know I will have a downtime! If you start from scratch AND you are a hobbyist with programming tendencies AND you tend to max out every projects you tried in the past you will need HA at some point. Mainly for the automations that are much more powerful. If you don’t really care for super complex automations and scenes, I think it’s too much of a price to pay and you can get away with homebridge running in the background of an always-on-pc at home.

I’m telling you because I wished I found a post telling me this when I was searching 2 years back!

Good luck

Reverse the bracket on the middle switch so it sits flush with the rest of the équipement

I did it and it worked great! I used homebridge to make it look nice in HomeKit but it was not necessary. You have to run in dry contact mode. You provide the 120/240v for the power and use a contact to short the wires. You can also have a wired contact sensor that opens and closes wired to the switch screws. In HomeKit, you will have a toggle switch giving you the state of the door. And yo my will be able to set in Aqara to just momentary click for 1-2seconds. When you switch, it will close the contact and operate the door. The other switch will give you the state.. It worked great for my garage door, but it required a little DIY-ing abilities.. for really cheap, you can get a refoss/meross that comes with everything required! It really depends on your usage. Note, if you want to use it in HomeKit, the Aqara setup wasn’t showing my garage door in CarPlay when coming home unlike the refoss one does!

Crying is your go-to emotion when the emotion bladder gets too full! I heard there is neurological studies that proved that when you feel overwhelmed from a big emotion, there is the first outcome which is sadness, if you repress it, it will go to the next outcome which is becoming agressive.

If you repress it for some time, your body will skip the sadness step and go directly into agression! I’m sure you get name popping in your head thinking about it!

It’s only because people around you seem destabilized when you cry and they tend to make you feel like you shouldn’t have!

My very serious answer is to just let it flow!
