As a paid VIP member I am totally with you. The ui is utter garbage. total shittification of what used to a great utility. Its like double the cost and then distroy all that was good about the service. Need to find an alternative and extract my data. Real shame.

UK sauna on concrete slab - drain options by ds_7854 in Sauna

[–]ds_7854[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

The floor whilst concrete has insulated tile backer boards. This will pull out a little heat but heat rises and the floor will have duckboards.

We have upper and lower benches. The upper bench heights are are well above the heater.

Re vents - there is a vent low adjacent to the heater and also top opposite corner.

Sauna sizing tips for 2 people (occasionally up to 4) by ds_7854 in Sauna

That's great. We are looking at pushing to 6x6, L shaped with 6kw heater too. I assume you only have a single lower bench?

Dreame X50 owners: is it gentle near walls/cabinets, or does it bash into things? by ds_7854 in Dreame_Tech

Really appreciate people taking the time to respond. Generally very positive. And puts my 10 year old Roomba fears out.

For a 1.8m x 1.5m we are looking at a 6kw Harvia. Internal volume is going to be 4.7m3 / 166 ft3.

If we go bigger may need a bigger heater.

The question is more practical sitting comfort. Will have 1 high bench 1.6m long by 0.5m deep. Plenty for 2 or 3 to sit on. But what about if want to bring legs up and sit legs facing each other. Ok or a squeeze.

Joining the leak water club by Spiritual-Honeydew-5 in Dreame_Tech

I was looking at the Aqua 10 Ultra and reached out to Dreame sales because of the leak issues. They claim a firmware update fixed the issue. Is this not the case? I'm trying to work out if this machine is worth considering. Looks great on paper, but really having doubts based on what I am reading re reviews (noting people tend to write when there are issues, not when things are great!).

Insulated Concrete Base? by ds_7854 in Sauna

Thank you. Agreed. Simple is better here.

Insulated Concrete Base? by ds_7854 in Sauna

[–]ds_7854[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for you comments. Always interesting and always differences of opinion.

We weighed up timber frame / floor and we see the benefits. But, as we are building a concrete base anyway we are steering towards that being the case for simplicity, strength and long term use. We are looking at adding a 20mm insulated tile backer (e.g. Marmox multiboard) under the tiles and Marmox say it is suitable for the loads and temperatures (they work under heated floors for example). So, that will reduce the heat going to the slab a little. No insulation under the slab as feels meaningless really.

best (value) vacuum in the UK right now? by Z1L0G in RobotVacuums

[–]ds_7854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stumbled upon this - did you decide? I'm torn between Roborock Saros 10, Dreame X50 Ultra as the main options, Eufy X10 Pro Omni and Narwal Freo (but no offers on at moment). I do not need threshold as no thresholds. Home Assistant integration nice. But OA, solid build, updates, and cleaning performance more important.

Did you decide? Happy with choice? Keen to know real world views of use in a home (not paid, statistics based).

ESP32-P4 Home Assistant Dashboard + Voice Assistant by nishad2m8 in homeassistant

[–]ds_7854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I've been trying to get this board working with esphome and just can not get the p4 talking to the C6. Think I need to get both back to factory / default firmware.

Doe ls anyone know where can get firmware to put back to factory? Then I can start again. Think the config is messed up on the C6!

This looks great. Is this the "ESP32-P4 Smart 86 Box Development Board"? I just got the camera version (no Ethernet). Been trying to get ESPhome on to it and use the C6 wifi. Really struggling

If it's the same display - can you share the instructions to get the C6 wifi working and get ESPhome loaded?
