A fully charged AGM battery probably puts out about 13.8v , the router might work at that... I doubt it would harm it if it was undervolted, however, it might not work reliably. Draytek routers generally work from 12 - 15 volts, so they could be powered direct off the battery. Failing that then...

change the power brick first. They are notorious for it. I keep all the power bricks from dead tech and re-use them when I throw out the old tech. These power bricks are a constant pain for me.

are they powered by poe? could be a bad power injector? or bad ethernet cable / bad termination / bad connection on the RJ45 ? etc

you could have a play around with standard notes, it's quite good. Fully encrypted and private, only you'll be able to see what's stored there. Free version doesn't store photos tho, so keep that in mind.

interesting, never had that. but I had a very similar experience to @David. , and just decided I couldn't be bothered with them.

I have used tiles, but the batteries don't last long, so you need a pile of them at the ready to keep swapping. Range of the tile is fairly limited. Whenever I've needed the tile, the battery has been flat. I gave up with them. What I would recommend is a tag with your mobile phone number on...

I have 2 SIMs in my phone, a contract and PAYG. I have very poor network coverage in my area. So have 2 sims from the 'best' networks in my area. on android you can set either sim as data or no data, then I have a default text/call out sim card. So it's quite flexible (on my phone anyway) People...

we have a fair size farm house with thick walls. you need ethernet cables to 2/3 places around the house and put WIFI access points on the end of the ethernet, to do an area. I managed to get quite decent coverage around our house using TP link omada access points. Just 2 in fact, (thought I'd...

my suggestion would be to try swapping each device (oldest first) and see if the problem goes away. one of them might have a fault or a short. If you have another SD reader, try that and see if the problem still happens, then you'll get to the bottom of the issue. it's also possible that the...

yeah your right, I actually have a once per second (approx) feedback microcontroller on my PV and CHP gen meters, so I know the output at any given moment in time.

so depends on the way it's been setup. But for a simple non-coding type way, you'd have a relay for the main pump, to trigger when any 1 of the loads switched on, then if all where off together, the pump would stop. My wilo pump has an on/off input on it, so it doesn't actually power the pump...

I wrote some code to monitor my system, if all the loads switch off, the main pump stops. Good for stopping buffers etc losing heat and wasting electricity. But it's very much how the system has been setup/configured.

our iskra meter says in the manual, never needs to be re-calibrated after leaving the factory. Ofgem accepted this when they asked for a calibrated check to be done. Think I'll buy iskra meters in the future, when required to. no idea how a calibration can be done, because would likely need...

If it's really well insulated, then won't lose a great deal of heat. It depends on how you personally use/need heat.... If your usage is quite random and fairly high usage for the system size, keeping it hot all the time would probably be the best option. However, if your usage is always at...

in my experience, you need to get the drying floor as hot as possible... so avoid blowing the fan really hard and reducing the air temp. use a lower fan blow speed in order to get the temperature up nice and high. In our woodtek drier I aim for the air going through the chip to be around 70c if...

Agreed, wifi internally maybe. But lay a duct, like a large blue water pipe, with a draw cord. Then put ethernet through it, if anything goes wrong or needs upgrade in future, can easily change it or add more. Armoured ethernet is also available now days. edit: use Cat 6 ethernet

basic 'standard notes' is free google keep is free skiff notes is free simplenote is free just a few options off the top of my head you guys know I like my free open source stuff try them out, report back

Not have much experience with this, however I suspect you will have to fit a switch along side the mechanical stop, then when the slider opens it presses on the switch to stop the motor. you would probably need the same on the close side also. you could do it via current overload switch off...

I fell for you... Reminds me yet again why I avoid everything to do with them. lol In the meantime, have you considered setting up a new email account with a different provider? It doesn't take loads of work to move/add another email account (bit of work). I have moved away from Gmail due to my...

OK I stand corrected sorry...
