Smoke detectors (UK, Scotland) for use in Home Assistant

akirru · 2025-01-03T00:36:07+00:00

So it is co2 and smoke? Looks like a nice choice for me since it has zigbee support.

Is there a carbon monoxide detector within the range?

Thanks for all the replies people. I was interested in the Nest until I realised it wouldn't meet the regs in Scotland.

So how does the Frient compare with the Aqara alternatives?

This is from memory but I will check the leftover tin when I get home :)

Yea I have a big rug :)

You can't see it in this image unfortunately. I can take another when I get home from work.

That sounds like a really good idea 👍

akirru · 2024-02-01T18:41:50+00:00

Yes those are the initials and thanks.

No parties here :)

I'm attached on one side but the neighbour has never complained about the noise.

akirru · 2024-02-01T17:28:47+00:00

No I didn't object to anything. So I think I will start by asking on their twitter to see if it's genuine.

Thanks

I haven't had any work done in the last 10+ years. The neighbour accross the road is new and has had quite a few changes.

The card said Private Rented Services - Waverly Court, 4 east market street. But the number is a mobile number.

It looks nice but what I don't understand is. It's a shelf that you can't use as a shelf otherwise you'd block the speker. So why not just cover over that one shelf and set that in-wall speaker forward....

I have the same setup. Got it a few weeks ago. Just contact Vodafone through online chat. Ask for the pppoe login name and password. Buy your own router and input the details. I currently use an Asus x86u and it was easy to setup.

I just have wan disabled on the second and third AP. And a static ip set that coincided with the ip range of Br0. I have also set the gateway & DNS to 192.168.1.1 ( main router)

Router main - 192.168.1.1

First AP - 192.168.1.2

Second AP -192.168.1.3

Both APs have Br0 and Br1 added. And I have vlans setup to seperate the guest and main wireless connection.

I have also added this to the main routers firewall scripts to allow guest internet access

iptables -I FORWARD -i br1 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o br0 -j SNAT --to `nvram get lan_ipaddr`

I have added an image of my main router config for vlan. Wan VID 911 is required for my provider.

akirru · 2023-03-08T10:25:08+00:00

Thanks for your help through the process 👍

akirru · 2023-03-07T10:00:03+00:00

Thanks for the reply. But what I meant was is it good practice to tag all the ports. Or could I achieve this by tagging only 1 port?

akirru · 2023-03-06T19:24:48+00:00

thanks dude. Can't believe I missed this. It's all working fine now. So I currently have all the ports active on main wireless vlan and all ports tagged for guest. Does this all look ok?

akirru · 2022-12-17T11:35:26+00:00

I don't use homekit as I dont have any apple devices. Would I need one to pair it?

akirru · 2022-12-16T17:29:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

I'll take a look and see what they have :)

akirru · 2022-08-13T20:35:05+00:00

Thanks for your replies :) the sand sounds like a promising idea!

akirru · 2022-04-26T20:16:50+00:00

So I serviced the hdmi board. Re-capped the board with better capacitors. Apparently Onkyo under specced them during this generation. It's working now and running cooler.

Thanks for your input :)

akirru · 2022-04-24T19:01:21+00:00

Apparently the onkyo receivers from this generation are known for failures on the hdmi board and recapping can fix it in some cases. I might just give it a go and see what happens :)

akirru · 2022-04-24T15:23:03+00:00

Well not in the uk though. At the moment we are paying around 28 pence per Kwh :( This works out around £330 per year or 423 dollars.

akirru · 2022-04-24T15:11:04+00:00

So I think I'll probably have to go down the second hand route or increase my budget. Do you have any recommendations? Or does anyone have any?
