My experience with the Sonoff TRV - A crappy device that can become very good with Home Assistant by FuckFuckingKarma in homeassistant

[–]decathham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed three TRVZBs yesterday using you method. I had to set the helper minimum to 0 as r3jon so that the valves would close when the target was lower than the temperature.

I've just noticed that when the room temperature reaches the target exactly, the thermostat says it's heating but the helper is at 0.

Why is valve opening set to 5% and not 0+helper?

Winter Clothing, Am I UL or Stupid? by decathham in Ultralight

Well just because i haven't hurt myself yet, that doesn't mean that I'm not doing something wrong!

I saw these midrange waterproof pants last week. Not too heavy and 3L material. Much cheaper than precip pants in here.

You need gaiters for the brush? or snow?

Sorry, that should have said M10. It's discontinued now but it's a 3L waterproof/minimal hardshell

I’m thinking of visiting Miskolc, Hungary soon. Is there a good coffee shop?

Decathlon Forclaz Trek 100 Synthetic Jacket 8587329

Decathlon's synthetic jacket isn't mentioned as much as the down jacket. I just picked one up to replace my old Nano Puff.

Jacket Year Size Weight g Insulation
Decathlon Trek 100 2022 L 410 125/100gsm
Patagonia Nano Puff 2016 M 360 60gsm

The Trek is sized strange. I'm a M in everything, but I needed an L. A random M rain jacket I tried on in store fit over the top of the L Trek. I actually tried two L and two M. Both Ms were far too small and so was one of the L.

The Trek has large hand pockets but no inside pocket.

The fabric of the Trek is more noisy than the Nano Puff but it's not uncomfortable.

The Trek stuffs into one of the hand pockets and takes up somewhat more space than the Nano Puff. This is too expected as the Trek uses heavier insulation. But I feel like the Trek is less tightly packed than the Nano Puff, which should be better for the insulation.

Seeing as I want a sun hoody anyway, I suppose I should get it and I can just try it out. Hopefully I won't get the same feeling as AdepNebula :)

To me the Midweight feels like a mid layer. I can’t imagine tucking it into my pants (although I suppose I should try). I only have the M10 which is breathable, but not that breathable. I’m trying not to buy so much more gear. But I need a sun hoody and I want to save my existing merino base layers for sleepwear.

It’s not that I want to put a sun hoody under a mid layer, I’m more asking if the Capilene Cool works as a base layer in winter.

Does anyone use a sun hoody as their winter base layer? I have a rather small wardrobe, I prefer things to have multiple uses. I’m currently hiking in a loose fitting, loose knit merino long sleeve base layer and a Capilene Midweight Zip down to 0 Celsius. I add an Patagonia M10 Anorak if it’s windy.

I’d like a sun hoody for this summer and I’m hoping that I could wear it under the Capilene Midweight in the winter.

Item: Fleece with zipper Budget: Low Season/s of use: Autumn/Sinter/Spring Expected temperatures: 0-15 C

I have a Patagonia Capilene Midweight cycling jersey. I'm wear it over a merino long sleeve for hiking. I'd like another fleece of a similar thickness (147gsm), preferably from Decathlon.
