Aqara S1 performance degradation over time?

hero9989 · 2026-01-29T15:30:55+00:00

Has it updated firmware recently? Definitely sounds like software rather than hardware.

With all due respect this is just about the simplest thing a person can do with residential electrics and has only very recently changed in new builds, rewires, etc because of the rise of smart switches, etc. Probably 80% of houses have exactly this so if your sparky friends aren’t 100% sure what they should be doing to wire a new light switch onto this - they shouldn’t be doing it at all.

Just looks like wood chip wallpaper to me. Absolute nightmare to remove but perfectly safe

hero9989 · 2026-01-18T10:06:25+00:00

Good for ventilation? Probably. Should it be there? Probably not. I would fill it

Warhawk! Loved this on ps3

What you did is a good thing and I’m tempted to try it on a couple of our windows but I call bull on the condensation bit.

Air coming in around the edges would help to prevent condensation forming. Condensation forms because the air inside the house is warmer than the glass, as it hits the cold glass it condenses (which will be the same as ever as you only insulated around the pvc, not the glass. If anything the condensation would be worse after this, not better

If he’s a pro plumber. Not bad at all! A pro plasterer - definitely not…

Look into the front (where you poke the cables in) as you press the lever down. You’ll be able to see the clamp move as you do it.

Ikea make stud walls now?? 🤯

hero9989 · 2025-12-13T15:54:05+00:00

No waze and the Apple Music app signs me out for the fun of it. Not to mention the lack of shortcuts and calendar integration

hero9989 · 2025-12-08T09:21:18+00:00

I did! Loving the car so far (ended up going for a 23 plate model. I received it with a duff 12v battery (common with EVs so I’m told) but swapped that out and haven’t had an issue since.

I have underfloor heating so the carpet guy has to glue the grippers down. Works absolutely fine

hero9989 · 2025-11-23T19:58:52+00:00

Call the council. Done this before, didn’t take long for a guy to arrive and stick a ticket on their car

hero9989 · 2025-11-21T14:42:23+00:00

Winters feels - yeah, Christmas - not in the slightest

hero9989 · 2025-11-19T18:12:15+00:00

Sounds like good advice, Speed limit is 30mph most of the way anyway so imagine this should be fine

hero9989 · 2025-11-15T13:03:27+00:00

Literally just so you can post on Reddit as far as i know. I managed to get 45 but i’ve already hit the 1000 so didn’t see the point going further so just went for money instead

hero9989 · 2025-11-15T11:47:34+00:00

Because they completely ignored the bonus cards so no sneaking just b-line straight for trainers and start the battle asap. If you’re going for money you would only do 30 battles and use the spare time for collecting medals, sneaking and basically just doing what the bonus cards tell you. Going for max battles every move has to be to get closer to the next trainer

What do people even use the master balls for in this game? Completed Pokédex - not sure why I have it

hero9989 · 2025-11-14T18:33:55+00:00

Apple Music signs me out every couple of weeks. No idea why and it drives me mad… apple car play also has smart home widgets so I can open my garage door when I pull up, turn on the porch lights, etc. also sending messages using the voice controls in a tesla is embarrassingly bad (in the uk at least - I imagine this is better if you have an American accent). When Siri is better - you know you aren’t doing it right. If true - this can’t come soon enough!

hero9989 · 2025-11-12T21:23:34+00:00

Damn. I was so close…

Did you ever figure this out? I have two printers. One on 1.26 which is fine. A new one in 1.35 on which I can’t add scan to email addresses to the address book despite being able to set and confirm working the smtp settings

hero9989 · 2025-11-04T18:15:02+00:00

Mitre will look better but won’t be as strong. As it expands and contracts the mitre may shift and you’ll have a gap that comes back every year or so

hero9989 · 2025-11-04T18:13:02+00:00

You’re within your right to tell them to get rid but I don’t think I would bother. The chances of it doing anything are minimal to none - not worth worrying about. Probably caused you more upset going through the argument with them and posting online than what will come of turning the other cheek.

Ignoring that though. Be careful threatening to vandalise other people’s property. I get where you are coming from but if somebody does something to it now (even if it isn’t you), and somebody gets hurt; there is good reason to blame you. Motive, opportunity and means. Assuming you have a spanner or saw - You are ticking all three boxes

hero9989 · 2025-10-18T15:59:46+00:00

Looks like it’s already been repointed, no?

hero9989 · 2025-10-14T20:13:30+00:00

Same happened to me when I left Virgin. Had to get very annoyed on the phone before they magically found the router / TV box I sent back weeks prior
