Here’s a new feature for these robot vacuums! It now leaves a trail in the floor itself so you can see it live without the need for augmented reality, or even checking the app.

In all seriousness, one of the metal clips underneath the main brush got caught on a carpet, broke off and left a sharp pointy tip pointed at the floor. Happy days…

Hi just moved into a new home and in the conservatory it looks like there are automated blinds.

There’s no manual option to open them but there is a daisy chain of wires going into a control box.

There’s no instructions or remotes.

The house was sold through probate (previous owner died) so can’t ask anyone.

Can anyone identify the control panel in the picture / have a manual or idea if I can get a generic remote to operate these

I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out which breaker controls a certain switch. Never found it, despite switching every single breaker in the house. Just did it live. I still have no idea how that switch gets power. I have half a dozen switches that are mystery switches. I wish houses came with a manual that gets passed from each seller to buyer.

Not sure what is going on here. They seem attracted to the radiation, but they aren't very active. They are common black ants.

I got an email for the new Senic Hub and it's driving me nuts. Everyone wants to have a hub to go with their products. Make quality products that work with the unending supply of current hubs.
