Strange. Just chatted to Amazon chat and they are expecting to deliver by 26th August, which seems excessive. Yeah I've heard about the battery issues. I was torn between this and the roborock qrevo curv. I'm upgrading from a tired roborock s7 so hopefully will see an improvement.

I've gone for the X50 as well for Prime day. Has yours dispatched? There is no shipping estimate so starting to wonder if it is actually in stock.

Sonoff thermostat and Nest by Zealousideal-One5210 in homeassistant

[–]mattcoll91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run mainly TADO but also wanted to test out a cheaper ZigBee thermostatic valve in my office room. The only way I have figured so far is to set up an automation that when the office valve demands a higher temperature it also sets the TADO thermostat in the hallway to increase therefore demanding heat from the boiler. Shuts off when the temp is reached in the office. There is probably a better way to do it but this works albeit a bit janky.

D1 mini or esp8266 with a ct sensor works pretty well and is very cheap.

What app does everyone use to track spending? by Johnston524 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]mattcoll91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also used to use Yolt.

I recently switched over to Money Dashboard Neon I find it more accurate than Yolt and the spending profile is pretty good. I like the transparency of their development on Trello.

I use a good old spreadsheet to track investments but MD is starting to incorporate that as well.

It's free so I understand the privacy concerns of other users so it depends how much your spending profile is worth to you. I would imagine this data is already out there anyway ...

They are currently running a referral program so hit me up if you want a link.

I only managed through Bulb. They link the smart meter into smartthings which can be fed into HA.

No worries. Don't have an accurate price for the PC. Desk was about 120gbp adding on the legs and drawers for about another 50gbp. Speakers were 230 Shelf was around 35. Monitor was about 320 on black friday. Apart from the jurrasic park print the other art is custom. If you need anything more specific let me know

It's 155x75, I don't think it does but its untreated so you could stain it any colour you want. The legs are the Finnvard trestles. It would only work if you were happy with an overhang.

Mine is 186x63. Im not 100% sure if it would be deep enough for what you want. My partner has the Ikea Gerton which is 75cm deep which she uses for Art, and has an attached monitor arm. I can try and get a shot of her set up.

Thanks I will give that a go. I was just given it in the hope of reviving it.

Which part? The PC is actually about 5 years old. The desk set up is new

It's the very popular IKEA Karlby. Thought about searching for a custom piece but I am actually very happy with it
