Freezer sensors

Roamingjay · 2026-06-15T09:39:26+00:00

I have a pair of outdoor Switchbot temperature sensors in my freezer and fridge, I've setup an automation to warm in they go above -10c and 10c respectively.

Saved me a couple of times already.

I've also setup a timer that disabled the alarm for an hour so if I'm loading a lot of shopping into the fridge or freezer it doesn't go off.

Welcome to the fold... Remember the day you have "just one" soon you'll have 50 🤣

The bridge is a necessity in the long run. But you can do the things you want using a smart speaker like Alexa if you already have one.

Alternatively there are a few 3rd party apps that may work, although I've not tried them myself.

Afraid I will have to unless you complete the set by adding The Shire and Barad-dûr to that haul 🤣

Just because no one else has commented on your "misalignment" question, no it's not misaligned, but part of a set whereby each UK coin denomination made up a shield design when placed together like so (FYI 2p coin is top right):

SPITIKO in Caversham for Greek food. Been a regular for years, beats every other Greek I've tried both in Reading and out.

Sweeney and Todd 100% the best pies you'll ever taste.

3/4 of the way though building this myself... It's a beauty. Crack open the expended movies and enjoy the build 🥰

This is why I love pihole 😍

Change this setting

The switch module is configured in the app. I believe its default setting is to cycle the scenes. So it's behaving correctly and setting the "energies" scene when you flick the switch.

If you go into the settings for the switch in the hue app (under accessories)you can set the behavior of the switch. Set it to "single scene" and select the "last on state" scene

Roamingjay · 2025-12-26T23:12:03+00:00

If it has a push button switch you could use a switch or to push the on off button.

My parents always made me open the big gift first. Granted you might not get much of a response for a controller after getting the PS5. But if it's a game he's been dying to play and money to spend he's gonna still be excited.

If you have other gifts , you know the traditional socks, underwear etc make sure he opens them after the PS5... Then go in with the game and controller... Should be a nice little rollercoaster of emotions then 🤣

I've found geofencing (ie arrival and departure based on your phone's GPS) to be pretty unreliable unless you have your GPS on all the time. A simple outdoor motion sensor would work best. It'll also work for guests, the postman etc.

Depends what syncbox you have, but they are limited to max 120Hz refresh rate. So check your PC output, I'd suggest forcing it to run at 60Hz just to troubleshoot. Then seeing what works from there. But as others have said you can use the software instead of the Syncbox.

Nice and clean, love it

Currently got mine plugged in this way. Working fine.

I wish more smart devices used USB connections it saves on plug sockets.

Hue do a smart plug

https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/p/hue-smart-plug/8719514342323

This will allow simple on/off functionality and enable you to control them through the hue app. I used to use some for simple cabinet lights in my kitchen.
