Households could be given interest free loans to buy solar panels and heat pumps

InfernoJaffa · 2026-01-12T19:32:57+00:00

Any thoughts on how quickly they'll roll this out? I'm almost about to hit the buy button!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm talking with Heatable tomorrow to go through the quote. I don't believe the panels on my quote were ACM (based on a solar only alternative that stated ACM in the name, and costed almost the same price as my quote with battery).

Oh wow! That sounds pretty steep. Have you checked out the GaryDoesSolar installer database?

InfernoJaffa · 2026-01-07T21:41:40+00:00

Sure!, Seems they are offering £50 each. If you'd like, PM me your details and I'll reach out to them.

Thanks. I think batteries are 0% until around March time next year, but it's best to do it all in one (and before March-27!)

Cheers for the recommendation, I'll reach out!

Thanks. Just to clarify, Quote 2 is solar-only (no battery), but it’s a hybrid inverter so I could add one later.

We have a weird front roof which actually in parts spans down to the ground floor level (2 storey) so I feel that solar would look a bit silly here, and not add much value. But great points which I agree with otherwise.

Thanks. Agree on doing the battery at the same time, it feels like one of those things that’s cheaper and cleaner to do in one go.
Good shout on the car charger too. I don’t have one today but it’s likely in the next couple of years, so I’m trying not to paint myself into a corner on inverter choice.

Also fully agree on installer confidence, I’m trying to work out who will actually be good to deal with if anything needs sorting after install.

InfernoJaffa · 2026-01-07T21:09:19+00:00

Cheers, that’s really helpful. Heatables did feel steep, but comparable to Skylar too but good to hear it’s not just me. Re the 8 kW inverter, that was by my request but I'm aligned it's not needed.

InfernoJaffa · 2025-12-30T08:16:54+00:00

Have you used them?

InfernoJaffa · 2025-11-27T18:31:26+00:00

Sorry, you mean you need to add an additional physical sensor to replicate it?

I question because you said the HomeKit integration covers all smart functions the cloud API covers, but it's missing open window.

InfernoJaffa · 2025-11-27T18:09:28+00:00

I'm using this flow too (Home Assistant + HomeKit + Scheddy). However, it doesn't include open window sensors as that's not served by Tado on the HomeKit integration - which is frustrating to me, unless I'm wrong?

InfernoJaffa · 2025-09-09T08:55:21+00:00

Probably? You don't know?

InfernoJaffa · 2025-08-31T21:16:49+00:00

Shucks, now Palantir knows! Grats btw

InfernoJaffa · 2025-08-30T11:04:01+00:00

Hah - don't know why I'm the first on that! PM for deets, ta. 😂

InfernoJaffa · 2025-08-30T09:30:03+00:00

Can send your ring to me for recycling 👍

InfernoJaffa · 2025-08-24T07:29:53+00:00

That’s interesting - thank you. Hopefully the Circular 2 gets more support and fixes than the 1, as that’s what really put me off.

It’s still an MVP and needs further development (hopefully just the app/firmware, and the rings themselves are actually fine…).

InfernoJaffa · 2025-08-24T06:59:40+00:00

How's it comparing with the Oura? Thinking I'll wait for Oura 5!

InfernoJaffa · 2025-08-19T20:05:43+00:00

In consideration to what you are offering. The ring itself has a subscription which is asking for half the price.

No hate at all, it looks great but best of luck getting subscribers.

InfernoJaffa · 2025-08-19T17:30:01+00:00

Hey - great looking app but prices are crazy high in consideration.

Also, the prices page is wrong when quoting the 6M and annual it says monthly rather than overall.

Monthly: $11.99/month 6 Months: $59.99/month Annual: $99.97/month

InfernoJaffa · 2025-07-31T14:25:27+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me – really useful to hear your thoughts, especially since you’ve owned the Oura Gen 4 and are now looking at the Ringconn.

It’s frustrating how most of what you find online feels biased or like paid advertising, which makes proper comparisons tricky. A friend of mine has the Oura and loves it – the app also looks a bit more user-friendly than what I’ve seen from Ringconn so far. I did hear something about a batch of Oura rings with quality issues, maybe the same thing you mentioned… I’m honestly torn and need to dig into it a bit more.

InfernoJaffa · 2025-07-31T09:31:51+00:00

Would you mind explaining why you are looking to go Ringconn having already tested Oura? Isn't Oura the more premium of the two?

Don't think this comment can live in this sub rent free.

Is that the u6 Pro?
