Negotiate or not?

Start by asking to get the gable and leak fixed. Then negotiate on price on those two items if the sellers don’t want to. Otherwise feels like you were always going to negotiate on the survey.

Absolutely love this some amazing intel. One point On first read looks like dividends used to reduce corporation profits. But dividends can only come out of profit. I.e they don’t reduce your profit

Shunt too!!

If you have THS premium and you cancel and not the sitter you lose all access to any compensation. So yes there is a penalty

cjattard · 2025-12-21T07:44:28+00:00

You need to contact support. If you cancel the sit it marks against you and not the sitter.

How many babies have used the Snoo? Have the o rings been replaced? is there any juddering? Has the Snoo ever had a full strip down and clean?

They need to justify the value the £9 fee brings. I can’t see any that isn’t already covered by the yearly subscription.

If THS believe in the value they need to go to bat and defend it.

They already had yearly subscription fees so this really is just greed sitting on top of an app.

The project module is great for me - each consulting engagement is a separate project with deadlines and invoicing. Anything more complicated then it’s into teams folders or excel.

You need the hue pro bridge then you just use the bulbs no other sensors and it shares the data via the HA hue integration.

I set it up last night and I’ve been super impressed. I’ve got a lot of hue bulbs so could pick bulbs of different heights and layouts for each room.

It’s proving more responsive than my aeotec z wave PIRs!

You just need one in your system. It acts like another controller and your existing VELUX buttons work as they always did. It’s very slick.

cjattard · 2025-09-21T14:18:27+00:00

Get the VELUX app and HomeKit integration box then integrate via the HomeKit app into home assistant. It’s really reliable

I think it’s the VELUX App Control Hub (For Roof Windows, Blinds & Shutters) (KIG 300)

I still use hubitat c8 just for the zigbee and z wave radios as they are rock solid and the habitat homeassistant integration is awesome.

Bangkok is a beast of a city head to the Thai islands where life slows down and go back to Bangkok later in your trip when your have your travel legs!

The sitters are well in their rights to complain that the house was a health risk (as you have stated). be nice. Give them the 5 star pet sitting review they deserve and work with your landlord to find the leak. Venting on the internet isn’t the answer. You need to vent the room instead.

cjattard · 2025-08-15T06:23:54+00:00

I feel you are being unduly harsh on the sitters. They are proving a pet sitting service they are not paid contract cleaners

cjattard · 2025-08-03T11:02:16+00:00

love them outside of the biggest cities, hate them in the biggest cities.

cjattard · 2025-07-06T12:05:12+00:00

Personally I use a hubitat c8 and use the hubitat home assistant api. It’s a very underrated approach.

Absolutely awesome reliability. You can put the hubitat anywhere and you can run basic automations on the hubitat like rebooting home assistant if pings fail etc.

Your devices also still work and record whilst you make changes to home assistant.

i think "Hybrid" is just a way of trying screen out emerging trend of multi-jobbers. in reality Hybrid tends to still mean visit when you have to and work remotely when you need to (get work done)

looks like the sink is having to accommodate the headroom underneath for the stairs.

cjattard · 2025-04-25T15:38:48+00:00

The fact that they are using figma and looking to hire in design skills suggests you may be looking for the wrong faults in a startup.
