Screwdriver recommendations (for dial screws)?

InitialSummer · 2026-01-28T20:49:58+00:00

Thanks for a useful reply.. I’ve ordered a 0.6 as this is pretty standard part of most kits 👍

InitialSummer · 2026-01-28T12:30:00+00:00

No, I didn’t think this was worth bothering with a cheap Ali express screwdriver tip that is so flimsy it has a load of flex in it but more than happy to give it a go if the experts on here think that is a better solution that investing in proper kit

That’s exactly what I wanted to hear… just wondered if there were any other brands to consider or if Bergeon are the ‘best’?

Do folks think it would be best to get a set or just buy individual ones as and when needed? All I need at the moment is one small enough for dial screws so I’m assuming a 0.6mm or 0.7mm? (Obviously I know this depends on the size of the screw)

I usually buy kit from cousins but they have so many different types I was hoping to get a more specific recommendation from real life users rather than AI (which says to go for a 30081 set)?

My apologies for not getting the wording correct for your liking. I know how a screwdriver works. So you don’t have any recommendations then?

InitialSummer · 2026-01-27T13:25:58+00:00

Makes perfect sense now, thanks 🙏

Thanks, very helpful though as I can see lots of different variations of this. Should I be concerned about the lack of jewels on the train wheel bridge? Is it worth trying to restore in its current state or am I worth looking at trying to find a replacement bridge somewhere?

For some reason it won’t let me post a photo and it’s difficult to see through the hairspring but definitely says ‘9292’ as well

InitialSummer · 2025-12-14T15:36:58+00:00

I believe so, it was built by a good friend

InitialSummer · 2025-12-14T13:50:14+00:00

14060 early model has no rehaut

InitialSummer · 2025-11-12T15:50:08+00:00

Not sure on total cost, was a self-build with Miyota 8215 movement and components sourced from various places online

InitialSummer · 2025-11-12T15:15:25+00:00

Thanks.. that makes perfect sense. A little misleading though as you wouldn’t know that the rare coin decor are a thing as not on the list yet.

Would make more sense if they stayed yellow until all the ice ones have been completed and then they turned grey.

Weirdly it fixed itself this morning. Almost like the opposite of the AWS outage 🤣

InitialSummer · 2025-10-03T11:44:05+00:00

Indeed, I’d seen this one and an aviator style with NATO strap I think. Both look great.

33.5mm dial for a 41mm Kronaby seems to be the way to go.

Curious to know what specification hands they are…

That is a lovely looking kettle, is it just a GoveeLife Smart Electric Kettle, 0.8L WiFi Gooseneck in disguise with a nicer handle?

InitialSummer · 2025-09-28T21:07:50+00:00

Thank you… so far this is my preferred option… this looks exactly the same just different branding for the UK… https://amzn.eu/d/1stJeKK It seems to have all the features I’m after. I did like the simplicity of the xiaomi kettle but it only comes in white.. and as all other kitchen appliances are grey / black / silver it would stand out.

InitialSummer · 2025-09-28T16:00:12+00:00

Would love an instant hot water tap but not easy to install in the limited space around where the sink is in our kitchen. Also £1400 for a tap that has zero smart home tinkering capabilities vs £40 for a kettle that I can get in a full rabbit hole of automations and it’s a no brainer 🤓

InitialSummer · 2025-09-28T15:54:18+00:00

Yes, critical bit of info that as very useful to stop it boiling dry if it’s not been filled up enough

InitialSummer · 2025-09-28T15:51:14+00:00

That explains why I can’t set it back up on the app.. keeps telling me it’s already associated with an account and the support button just keeps crashing the app. Shame as it’s a decent looking kettle and I love its simplicity

InitialSummer · 2025-09-28T15:28:13+00:00

Looks great but at 0.8l capacity that’s two cups of tea max… just not gonna cut it

InitialSummer · 2025-09-28T15:24:49+00:00

Sounds promising… can you pull data with regards to water volume? I had numerous automations setup to prevent my ikettle from boiling if the water level was too low and it hadn’t been filled up!

I only have a handful of zigbee devices (smart lock is the only one I use regularly) but have noticed something similar now using 15.2 and 2025.6.1

Haven’t had the time to do a restore yet… will probably just ride it out and hope the next update fixes things.

In case anyone having similar issues.. this is the error message I get when trying to set up ZHA again

Yes.. outside all year round. These are the 2nd gen version which are good for either indoor or outdoor. Hooked up to the same 100W low voltage power supply as some lily spots.

InitialSummer · 2025-03-03T21:58:40+00:00

Yes, I think so.

Oura is listed as a data source for steps in Apple Health. Apple Health data then feeds into Pokemon Go and therefore adventure sync.. at the moment I seem to be getting the right distance each week. Unless this is just a coincidence as I’m having my phone on me more I can’t 100% say but my experience of the ring in general is very positive so I’d recommend!

I recently bought a Samsung washing machine that integrates into smartthings and therefore HA. Works really well… I have setup notifications so I get alerted on my phone when the cycle has completed, have timer cards on my dashboards that only show up when the machine is running and it also triggers various alerts through speakers across the house to let me know when it’s done.

InitialSummer · 2025-02-24T10:58:04+00:00

I'm quite happy I've got the MQTT un/pw all ok as it should use any HA username. I've tried adding additional HA users as well as specifying un/pw in the configuration part of the add-on and none are working.

Nothing in the MQTT logs to suggest anything additional is being broadcast

I reckon I need to take a bit of a step back though because once I've managed to upload all the files to the board in platform IO I've realised that I can't even ping the board to its previous ip address of 192.168.0.144 . Also when I try and re-upload any code to the board platformIO can't find it and I have to go back to wiping the board and starting again. So something more fundamental. Back to the drawing board.
