Thanks Eric The Nest Hello does support mechanical chimes too (at least a single one) but they universally recommend a 16v transformer. Ours is a 12v and the older style of Square D consumer unit which doesnt take standard modules. Could put a new transformer in a box next to the CU but that cupboar...

As someone who doesnt have a smart phone I somewhat agree but the Mrs wanted a better view of whos at the door at night than the small hole in the privacy film gives plus the ability to talk to a delivery person when shes on the 2nd floor (by the time shes at ground theyve normally gone).

From what I have previously read regarding so called "Smart doorbells" I would say that your current transformer is too small* People in your situation have upgraded the transformer with no further problems. On the assumption you have standard "bell wire" and you are only going ...

Many thanks Ring have said it would work fine with their Ring 3 device which doesnt have as higher power requirement because its not doing 24/7 recording and is battery powered with the wired mains power used to charge the battery. Nest say that the minimum in Europe is 12v and 8va and so in theory ...

We are thinking of creating a dressing room in our bedroom as we have too much floor space but not enough storage space. There will be no changes to plumbing, electrics etc and so should be simple enough to do (hopefully not famous last words). Technically we are in a maisonette so the bedroom is on...

Where have you bought the wooden aspects of the table from? What will you be using the table for? Ultimately the brackets with the right screws will hold the table together but I suspect it wont be the most stable table ever and wouldnt be my preferred solution. That said Ikea sell many tables with ...

No expert in these things at all but if it is fairly uniform and you don't want to put any holes in it at all then you could use something like the ring mounts that people use for rope handrails but the first and last one however would need to be capped to hold the branch in it if you dont want any ...

Hi all We have a 2005 purpose built flat which has a suspended plasterboard ceiling on an aluminium track system and a circa 16" void before the structural ceiling above it (looks like galvanised corrugated steel). I want to put a fairly heavy projector (circa 16kg inc mount) up on/by the ceili...
