    ESPHome+Geyserwise Smart Thermostat

    After reading these wild claims of less power with a PTC I managed to get one and tested it in a 25L drum with noting the start temp of water in each case. Recorded the total power used and measuring the temp at the same spot with a infrared thermometer. I found about 3% variance but that could...

    Telkom warns shareholders of huge earnings hit

    What do you expect when you let Incredible sell your SIMs which they say they cannot RICA. Then you go to 3 Telkom shops to RICA it and all 3 say the SIMs have expired. Only expired because you did not buy it from them. Then you turn to another retailer that actually RICA the SIM.

    MyTank app maps petrol stations, calculates best rewards and shows cheapest diesel

    If my location is on and I have just used Google maps is it really very difficult to show me stations close to where I am. Being in Gauteng to see places in Bloemfontein when I have selected within 5km does not seem very handy.

    Heat Pump vs Solar Geyser

    I have the ITS 4.7kW (heat) unit that draws 1.3kW from the grid for nearly 9 years now. Very happy and if I had to choose a system again it will be a ITS. At the time ITS was the only make with a loading valve to prevent mixing cold incoming water with the hot water in the geyser. My installer...

    Telkom - you can never get service

    I guess just like Afrihost data via MTN one needs to setup a new profile with access point for Telkom only towers. Anyone that can provide such detail. I know it will be auto detect. Not sure about the name and login or password.

    Telkom - you can never get service

    Nope. When I use USSD code it shows I have data expiring 25/12. Telkom customer service also confirmed it does show there is data even now. They use the lame excuse of network problems. Can it be as I have the same tariff plan on my phone and it is working fine.
