    All things Shelly

    How reliable is the Shelly PM mini gen3? I want to install one of them on my heat pump to measure electricity consumption. Reason I ask, because it's connected in series with the appliance, if the Shelly fails, the heat pump will stop working and as is my luck, this will happen while I'm not at...

    All things Shelly

    Hi there, which breakers are you referring to, did they launch cheaper ones than the Shelly Smart Pro? https://store.smartpad.co.za/index.php/product/shelly-smart-pro-1pm-wi-fi-relay/

    Water tank level addon - which one

    I want to measure the water level of my tank and also switch my borehole pump. So far the plan is to use a Shelly plus Uni with a pressure sensor and two float switches. Is everyone still happy with that throw in sensor from DF Robot or is something else recommended? From what I read, it will...

    Apple Watch thread

    Hi all, I last had a Series 5 which broke a couple of months ago and I want to get a new watch. As I see it, the only nice feature the Series 11 has over the SE3 is the hypertention notifications. I am on medication for high blood pressure which keeps my blood pressure nicely in check. I have...

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    I totally forgot to post this here earlier. FYI I experienced a very annoying bug since I got my 17, eventually I decided it can't be normal so I read up a bit, turns out it was a iOS 26 bug which has already been resolved, but it requires manual intervention to fix. I noticed while not using...

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    Slightly OT, can anyone recommend a wireless charger for use with my iPhone 17? Good quality, USB C, Magsafe compatible will be nice though not essential, 15W or so will be fine since I charge wirelessly over nightt. It doesn't seam like UGreen have something, they are my go-to when it comes to...

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    FYI My Vodacom prepaid eSim didn't transfer from my old phone to the new so I had to do a Sim swap. What a backwards way to get it done in 2025, a real ball ache and to make it even worse, I couldn't find the correct updated process anywhere on the Vodacom website and 3 different consultants I...

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    Loving it so far, obviously a massive massive upgrade from my XR, so some apps which was painful to use the last 6 months or more is actually a pleasure to use again. Cameras is super and I don't even have the Pro. I just charged from 33% to 81% in 25 minutes almost exactly, that's just crazy...

    Finally!!! After my call to Skynet this morning when they said it didn't go out for delivery today and it's still in the warehouse, I contacted Vodacom again to tell them how useless their courier partner is. Whatever they did made a difference, suddenly the driver called me at 16:30 saying he...

    I'm beyond gatvol of waiting, first I was waiting for Vodacom for over a month, now it's their courier partner Skynet. This is the third day in a row now, the parcel is out for delivery, the driver calls around 10:00 to confirm my address and whether I'm available, then I hear nothing from them...

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    I just received a SMS from Vodacom / SkyNet that my order will be with me soon!!! That's after placing a order 24 October. I agree that the hole Vodacom back order system is totally messed up BS, that's exactly what I told them on Tuesday when I lost my sh&t with them a bit, I told them it's...

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    I just spoke to a slightly more helpful person at 082178442 She told me they can not see on the system whether the next stock they receive will cover a specific back order. She did however tell me she can see that this Friday 21 Nov, they will receive 900 units of the iPhone 17 256 GB in black...

    Exactly, if they could just give proper answers / updates. I ordered 27 October. I called again last Friday the 14th, first they told me it still says on back order, then the lady told me they are getting stock today, so I will get a SMS from the courier on Monday. I then told her I know they...
