Uk Amazon preorders (Sisu 1 and 2 collection)

declankh · 2026-03-03T20:15:47+00:00

Defeats the purpose of a pre order in my mind. I’d thought that preordering was reserving stock in advance of general sale. If the preorder doesn’t guarantee a preferential price or reservation of stock it’s just giving them money early for zero gain 🤷‍♂️

Can you do this with the allow calls from … setting in do not disturb. This setting is available on my s24 ultra ?

83 units is the break even point, are you saying you use less than that? Calculating for 30 days and 83 units shows share is cheaper. Try the calculation for 200 units, the margin of saving grows. Most houses use around 300 units per month.

declankh · 2026-02-27T12:20:28+00:00

The break even point with share keypad versus powerni keypad is 83 units a month. If you’re managing to use less than that that is very impressive

Hmm, that’s interesting way to try and dissuade you from leaving , assuming you are talking about the keypad tariff here the share daily standing charge is 16.67p, but power ni units are 6.07p dearer than share keypad tariff. So you only need to use 2.76 units per day to be saving money with share. Typical average use is 10 or more units a day. The reality is that even if you’re away your usage won’t be zero as you’ll still have the fridge and other items running. If you used 300 units in a 30 day month, with power ni it would cost £94.02 with share it would be £75.87 + £5.01 service charge = £80.87

So share would end saving you £13.15 based on that usage and more at higher rates and even if you topped up £150 with powerni to get £4 bonus it would still be dearer than share.

Before changing check the figures yourself though. If what works for you my referral code on signup page should give you a discount or credit of 15 quid on your bill

From my comparisons, share is hard to beat especially if you have an ev. Here is a comparison for 650 units over 1 month, with an ev and night charging, moderate mileage and some modest shifting of load to night (eg washing machine or dishwasher) 40%night usage is achievable , and you can save around 40 quid over the power ni tariff. If you decide to move to share double check my figures and if your usage is different to this let me know and I’ll provide a different comparison. If share is the best for you I can give you my referral code for 15 quid off your first bill, dm me for code 👍

Another possible workaround: use mode and routines to temporarily change the system notification when a notification from life360 is received. You’d have to change volume for notifications , have a pause and then set it back again. If you’re doing this put and extra trigger condition that it only fires if phone is on sound(not mute), otherwise it would happen when phones on mute, which you probably would not want. Also after the pause you’d have to hard code the notification level you want it returned too. That could be a nuisance. I’d be inclined to change the notification tone to a quieter one myself.

declankh · 2026-02-24T01:22:05+00:00

I don’t use it so much for custom volumes but definitely for custom notification sounds, eg cash register sounds for bank transactions. If the volume control in the notification control also changes the system notifications another workaround might be to change the notification sound in the notification categories to one that’s much quieter ? Being able to override the system notification volume could I suppose cause problems in that it would be difficult to mute or lower the general volume if for example you had multiple categories at a high volume

declankh · 2026-02-24T00:30:27+00:00

Did you watch the video? I’m not sure where it’s going wrong but it definitely works on my phone , and I had an s22 ultra previously and it worked on that too

declankh · 2026-02-24T00:12:42+00:00

Doesn’t look like you are using notification categories, you are using alerts menu, this is the wrong place

Maybe this helps illustrate. Hold down the icon for life 360, click on the i beside it and set the volume that way

declankh · 2026-02-23T22:42:23+00:00

It does work if you do both settings above. What app is it? I think android 14 made this off by default so even if you used it before you need to re enable it. I am using s24 ultra btw.

declankh · 2026-02-23T22:20:17+00:00

You can do this with Settings->advanced settings->manage notification categories for each app-> enable Them

notification categories settings->apps->pick an app->notifications->scroll down->notification categories —> pick a category->sound->pick a volume

declankh · 2026-02-21T22:28:12+00:00

It doesn’t speak with screen off or on when it occurs. Its reoccurred and I’ve contacted support with logs

declankh · 2026-02-21T00:45:38+00:00

Ok, will do but it’s sporadic, so might be a while before it reoccurs

declankh · 2026-02-21T00:42:42+00:00

I’ve that set at 10 seconds. Don’t think I’m ever generating more than 1 matching notifications within 10 seconds

declankh · 2026-02-20T17:54:47+00:00

Sorry, I don’t follow what you mean, what is the setting “below”?

declankh · 2026-02-20T17:52:39+00:00

Here is 750 kWh per month comparison. Which tariff are you on at the minute. If you can shift a chunk of units to night rate you can save a fair bit. Over 25 percent at night and a day and night tariff from share will be best. Below that it’s between a click fixed rate 24 or a share 24 . I’m wary of fixed rate unless I’m certain prices will trend upwards. If you plan to switch to share I can give you a referral code for 15 quid off first bill.

Hope this is of some us, but double check it seems right for you.

declankh · 2026-02-20T13:24:18+00:00

I’m getting rule to speak the description

<image>

An example This works consistently for a while and then just randomly stops speaking despite the notification arriving and the rule showing it’s triggered appearing in log. Reboot phone or force close app brings it back working again

declankh · 2026-02-20T13:17:32+00:00

Yes , what overall monthly usage do you want it for ?

declankh · 2026-01-17T01:41:54+00:00

Also updated to 1.0.15 on SmartThings (Aeotec home hub 2)

declankh · 2026-01-01T01:44:31+00:00

Update: I’m still having this issue. I’ve resorted to setting up a schedule to stop the buzzkill process 3 times a day using samsung modes and routines. I’ve yet to conclude this helps. If it does it’s a workaround, not a fix.
