    Irrigation controller installation

    No doubt there will be cheaper ways of achieving the end result; what OpenSprinkler does, is give you flexibility in station allocation (don't have to rewire to re-assign), simple config (wife can do it over WiFi) and a stable end product. On the other end of the spectum you find your Rainbirds...

    Glad to hear you had a good experience! I feel the same way about the commercial products.

    Irrigation controller installation

    Too many variables with customs, duties and shipping. Rather do them as they come.

    Irrigation controller installation

    Welll I ordered the kit from the USA and installed it and programmed it (over WiFi!); works like a charm, half the price of established brands. With neat features such as real-time weather updates and control over the cloud, it beats the competition hands down. I've even gone as far as setting...

    Download our app and do a speed test – Win R5,000 cash and other prizes

    Rating MyBroadband Speedtest: Exceedingly accurate and user-friendly. Speedtest in this case must be limited by WiFi throughput limitations, since my ISP Afrihost is rendering wonderful fibre service at 250 Mb/s download. Upload closer to the truth.

    Terrible Afrihost Support

    I'm happy to report a happy ending to this story; AfriNatic remained in contact with me until the issue was finally resolved. Turned out it wasn't even an Afrihost or FrogFoot issue; merely a WiFi AP hardware issue which Eugene so kindly attended to. I've not moved any of my services from them...

    Terrible Afrihost Support

    Hi again all, I'm writing to let you know that, even after having contacted the Afrihost rep on this forum Eugene, via private message as he requested, my problem has still not be resolved. I'm sad to say that, after having been an Afrihost customer since 2008, with two fibre connectivity...

    Terrible Afrihost Support

    Hello Sir, Thanks for your reply. No, you have not let me down in the past. I am still a client, and had a good session with one of your tech service consultants (after again holding on for around 45 minutes at my cost); a tech is confirmed to come to site to investigate the problem, although I...

    Terrible Afrihost Support

    Having been a loyal client of Afrihost, I'm forced to reconsider my choice of ISP. I've been struggling for a week now to get support, either through calling their call centre (and waiting 40 minutes for the call to be answered), requested callbacks (of which several were simply ignored)...

    HDMI to Apple Display convertor

    Hi, Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I don't quickly see how to search this forum only. I have a Dell notebook with HDMI output, which I'd like to connect to my Apple display, which has a Thunderbolt input; can this be done? If so, how? Thanks, Charl
