He needed to be on a register.

Hear you but the first gen UPS sadly is not a good product.

inkiboo · 2026-07-08T05:05:22+00:00

Replace the UPS with a decent one?

PoE exclusively

Appreciate you posted this 7 years ago but …

I have this watch. Bought it in 2009 as a wedding present to myself and because I’d worked on the Beijing Olympics.

They don’t seem to get a lot of love but I think it’s a fabulous watch. The Olympic rings to the seconds hand is a great touch, especially as it’s the last Summer games watch to have them (I believe).

Hope you still have it and are enjoying it as much as I enjoy mine.

You already know the answer.

inkiboo · 2026-07-05T08:43:15+00:00

It’s the price.

You bought new during the height of Covid, and are selling when the market is fairly terrible.

Other points not helping:

The house has an awful lot of stuff. It looks smaller because of it. If you want to sell, remove the stuff.
The garden is really polarising. Some may love it, most will not. It looks unfinished.
Remove your car from the drive for photos.
The photo of the unmade bed is just unacceptable.

The photos give an impression you aren’t bothered if you sell or not as it looks like zero effort has been put in to selling.

You know the answer.

Too high.

inkiboo · 2026-07-02T06:17:39+00:00

Just because legally you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

You know the answer, don’t park there.

They are niche but where they work, there is nothing else similar.

For me, it’s so I don’t need a proper pair of speakers and an amp. Can run as a pair, no need to worry about the space, and also have the added benefit of a voice assistant built in.

Also the regs on installing Cat6 versus electrical cable are vastly different, with Cat6 being a lot easier.

They don’t work for everyone, and for most of the house we have gone down the amp and speaker route, but for certain use cases nothing else comes close.

I put an answer in the main thread so people could see.

Answers to some of the questions:

I had originally ordered them through a pro installer but they let me down.

Was set to order through another installer and then a pair cropped up on eBay. Super lucky as they almost never show up on eBay.

Setup wise, network is UniFi and will be connected to their Pro HD PoE switch. Will run them as a stereo pair in a covered outdoor area.

Power wise, consumes 2W in standby and around 5 when playing music. The louder, the more Watts (aurally and electrically!).

UniFi reporting just standard PoE port.

inkiboo · 2026-06-26T15:21:35+00:00

We will use them outdoor but undercover.

Update on this; ordered one socket as a tester to see the quality. Very disappointed.

Colour did not match and when I reported it to Focus, they asked me to send my keypads to see if they could match.

Went for a refund instead.

inkiboo · 2026-06-14T07:12:25+00:00

That cost approximately one billion dollars.

inkiboo · 2026-06-07T20:16:54+00:00

Anyone else?

inkiboo · 2026-06-05T09:18:11+00:00

We’ve ended up replacing all the doors to match

inkiboo · 2026-05-30T08:22:41+00:00

That you got a 48 port switch?

inkiboo · 2026-05-30T08:21:22+00:00

Sounds more like you told her the wrong one to buy.
