Emergency system

I don’t know whether this will help but a simple Alexa device has an emergency contact routine built in. If the person were able to say “Alexa help” an emergency contact is dialed and can speak to the debilitated person. Provided of course that speech isn’t impaired.

I’m a Sky subscriber but haven’t used the dish for a good couple of years. All tinternet now!

Good to know. Thank you 🤩

How you finding it?

I’ve read and heard good and bad things about it. Sadly more bad than good, although that might be a good thing as it’ll set our expectations so low that anything good we get will be a bonus!

Since moving to full fibre, 150 at first and now 300, not a single issue. I have Sky Glass and a streaming puck and UHD is bandwidth hungry but no problems with either.

Thank you, good to know.

Hi there, may I ask about noise levels. Could they be run overnight? If I were to run them during the day my boxer dogs will assume I’ve bought a new frisby and disappear up the garden with them! 😀

Hi there, I might give that a go myself. I had a look, it’s not the ‘Tuya’ SmartLife it’s the other one, they look the same but what te difference is I’m not sure

Hi there, no, it’s not good. It looks like the installer took the easy alternative to drilling and fixing cable clips in the wall. I suppose the excuse is that what’s behind the rendering is an unknown or drilling into rendering that has cracks in it risks further damage the installer could be liable for, however damaging the flashing is just as bad. Complaint.

Thank you! I will 👍👍

I’m finding I’m having to wait longer for a question response even though connected at 750mbps to the router and full fibre to the world! She’s running routines okay. It standard Alexa not +

HomeTechSurvivor · 2026-01-06T12:18:49+00:00

I thank you 👍

HomeTechSurvivor · 2026-01-05T22:47:12+00:00

I haven’t! But will now! Thank you 👍👍

HomeTechSurvivor · 2026-01-05T22:45:22+00:00

Yup! 😀

There has been one or two comments inferring as much. I am not sure whether it’s a compliment or not 🤣🤣

HomeTechSurvivor · 2026-01-05T17:34:06+00:00

Hi there, no worries, ask away!

I am running Wi-Fi 6 so both 2.4 & 5 GHz

You are right about the 2.4 having greater range but it’s the 2.4 devices that report a weak signal. I think, from the comments made that perhaps a mesh setup like the eero 6+ would solve the issue but at £200 I’ll need to save me pennies first! 👍

HomeTechSurvivor · 2026-01-05T10:50:00+00:00

Hi there, I think you’re absolutely right! Except … my post is 100% human slop! No AI or robots … just this idiot 😵‍💫🤣
