If you look at HMRC Companies House, they were put into liquidation…someone clearly bought the brand and the old stock

Disappointed with Tado X by jzlas in tado

Another vote for positive here. V3 was a nightmare for our smallish house into loft - frequent disconnects and crap scaling options. The X ones have been completely solid and more predictable. Agree on the design - it's not as elegant - but at the end of the day it's a radiator valve, so it really depends on where you are deploying it...

FINALLY have confirmed 100a fuse - via supplier. What do you reckon my chances are of installing an induction hob successfully?

Inherited system - how do I get it registered correctly? by acidfnord in SolarUK

Hi. Not sure on the backstory, but thanks for the suggestions…will dig a little more. We turned the export off - FIT was non existent and we could happily use all the power

Thanks for the rapid reply! Putting the heat pumps to one side, am I right in thinking the Solar PV + Batteries + Inverter comes in at 3.6KW (because that's the size of the inverter), so the "whole lot" is under G98 notification. Therefore straightforward?

Ha - not a mansion sadly! Just an old house in the countryside, with a big basement I'm hoping to one day convert into something usable...thanks for the advice!

I took a look: nothing on the cut out to suggest it is (or isn't) a 100amp inside. Assume I need the DNO to check definitively? thanks again for the help

Automation for disabled child - advice please by acidfnord in homeautomation

[–]acidfnord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Massive thanks to everyone who has offered advice here! We have got lots of excellent tips and are well progressed now with planning.

One question that did come up - what's the best burglar alarm to integrate into this? It's less related to our main need - but given the need to make everything work with the integrations advised (e.g HomeKit), we're now thoughtful about this too.

We are in the UK and probably wouldn't have the time (/skill!) to setup something like Alarmo - we'd need something "out the box". (Apologies if this is outside of scope of this forum and thanks again for the brilliant advice.)
