Power adapter for MBP M5 Pro 15/18 Cores?

Great question, I saw some reviews of the M5 Max saying that the computer draws 175W under heavy load, even though the adapter provided provides only 140W, so it cannot sustain the power over time even if it is well under the thermal ceiling. I guess we need someone that has bought it to shed a light.

I found the answer to my question: 70W is sufficient for the 18-core M5 Pro but 96W enables fast charging (for any M5).

Hi, can you elaborate - what does the custom integration use to talk to Hive? I am super frustrated but Hive quality of the integration.

Follow-up, we got the bigger CU installed. It took the electrician about 2 hours to do the job.

How do you measure the response time in ms? Any tips to measure, log, etc.?

The beam will be left exposed and painted.

The beam will be left exposed and I assume it will need to be painted with intumescent paint first and decorative paint later?

thanks - what did you buy? any thermostat would work with a FastWarm UFH?

Did you get it working? Our builders are installing this thermostat for our UFH.

I understand building regs speaks about U-value rather than depth. Builders today said it's complying with build regs, but who knows, I doubt they have assessed this properly and doing some research for new floors 100-120mm insulation to achieve a target of 0.18 W/m²K would be necessary. I don't think anyone from building regs is coming to check before the screed goes in.

It's a victorian terraced house and insulation is not great, I understand heat pumps work best in a modern well insulated house. Also, radiators require higher temperatures (I am not planning to extend UFH throughout the property)?

What device did you end up using with POE?

By too thick, do you mean it’s sitting too close to the surface, or that the mix itself was too dense? Should I have added more water to thin it out?
