    So the new one has no Ethernet? No thanks then.

    Smart Parcel Drop Box with Raspberry Pi 4 and Node Red

    This is a great idea. I have a need where I can let my maid and gardener in by remotely opening the gate using my phone but this would secure backdoor keys very conveniently.

    Yes, in Chrome on my PC I was able to cast BBC and Channel 4.

    If you have configured the Nova for casting then it should just work. I can cast Spotify on my phone.

    Hope that fixes the terrible audio in Kodi.

    Gas/ Instant hot water geyser with usage controls?

    Depending on how much you are willing to pay for the energy consumed, you could install a gas geyser with for example a 24kg bottle. Then let them know in no uncertain terms that the bottle needs to last the whole month. If the gas is depleted before the month end, then it's either cold showers...

    Aircon Automation

    After reading this thread, I went and re-read my Samsung manual. Those digital inverter aircons are pretty amazing and efficient.

    Aircon Automation

    Perhaps a far cheaper and more effective solution to your hot zones would be to simply install those 200/300mm ceiling extractors. Switch them on with HA based on input from the sensors in those areas. Unfortunately you can't fight science. You either need to stop the room getting too hot by...

Essentially this is a fibre box but I just ripped out the guts. Mounts easily and has a locking mechanism but replaced the plastic key and notched bolt with a...

    From my TV I only have two active cables, one to the soundbar (ARC) and the other to a 4 port HDMI switch. The Nova works perfectly with this arrangement. Soundbar is a JBL and TV is a Samsung.

    CCTV, solar, wi-fi.

    When I first starting using surveillance cameras, I thought wireless was obviously the way to go. Bought a ton of Escam cameras from AliExpress or Banggood (one of the two). Whilst they worked ok, I found that in the event of a power failure and subsequent restoration of power, the cameras would...

    Unifi U6+ terrible range?

    Don't bother with the Long Range. U6 Pro will work fine with a decent PoE switch. I have a bunch connected to Netgear GS724TP switches. As someone else mentioned, the trick with WiFi is not to have one mega powerful AP trying to cover the entire suburb. I have eight (8) Mikrotik APs in my house...
