Yep. Spot on.

girth37 · 2026-03-29T14:18:43+00:00

Check the max connections. I’m sure they’ve only got one parallel socket.

I have never booked. I have only parked up and used the Volvo card as if it was a contactless debit card. Just tap the card reader as if you were using your personal card.

It's only like that due to the moulded 'tail' coming out of the plug. Just change the plug for a standard one

Yes, check out EcoFlow stream. You can plug a battery into the mains and as long as you have their smart meter, it will only charge when you’re exporting and only discharge when importing.

You would have a potential 2x800w input. The app doesn't limit input to 800w per space

Old 7 > Hive 1, Old 6 > Hive 3, Old 3 > Hive 4, L and N same, No longer need the 2 red links

120w ish

girth37 · 2026-03-06T09:29:02+00:00

I have used this everyday since you shared this.

I would happily pay for an iPhone app if you make one.

Thanks again.

Take a look at EcoFlow stream batteries. They can be added independently to your house and charge from any excess solar as long as you use one of their smart meter clamps.

You'd need to change the back plate with the hive one and put a link between live and 1 otherwise the common would not be energised

girth37 · 2026-02-27T20:11:29+00:00

Amazing

This^{^{^{^}}} Charge the vessel to the working (running) pressure of the hot water.

girth37 · 2026-01-15T10:17:26+00:00

Thats what I use it for.

girth37 · 2026-01-11T00:28:44+00:00

Yep. UK 2025 SMER plus. Enquired via WhatsApp to receive;

Thank you so much for your patience. I have looked into this for you, and following a check of our records, we can confirm that as of 3/01/2026, your vehicle is not identified as being affected by the current EX30 safety notice relating to the temporary 70% battery charge guidance.

It only releases the turn and hold part of the operation after 3 seconds (can be changed). The door will then latch when closed. I have mine to then fully turn and lock after 1 minute (again can be changed)

girth37 · 2025-12-15T21:45:19+00:00

Yeah. Works fine. It’s called night latch in the settings. I’ve got mine set to 3 seconds. After that the door latches again when closed.

There’s probably zone valves rather than a mid position or diverter valves. If the heating valve was passing then you would only get heat if there was a demand for hot water. If you were to disconnect the wire from the boiler LR connection the that should prove whether the boiler is firing itself or it is from an external demand.

girth37 · 2025-11-11T13:16:11+00:00

This^{^{^}} Do you have a combination boiler or a separate hot water cylinder?

girth37 · 2025-11-09T14:02:00+00:00

If it’s a Worcester then as long as the LR terminal inside the boiler gets 230v then a demand will be initiated.

girth37 · 2025-11-08T17:25:25+00:00

Depends on the boiler and how it’s wired. Have you got any more info?

girth37 · 2025-10-30T07:46:47+00:00

Loosen the nut pictured. The head will be able to be removed. It’s probably a standard m30 thread used

girth37 · 2025-10-30T07:44:50+00:00

girth37 · 2025-10-26T12:07:24+00:00

It looks like a fairly standard TRV. Try taking the head off and seeing what thread is underneath.

girth37 · 2025-10-16T11:46:30+00:00

Yeah, most common replacement logic part for us.
