If you already have BNC cabling, you can probably use that as a pull-through to drag in replacement ethernet cabling - that could save you…

DIY is easy if you have some basic skills and tools. At very least, you'd want a torch, a cordless drill with spade bits or a step drill…

As mentioned elsewhere, the cameras shipped as part of pre-defined bundles often have different firmware and chipsets, and aren't capable…

I've used the included Reolink cables in 4 x installations so far with zero issues.

Per the post below from evokable, looks like they're [P334 cameras](https://reolink.com/au/product/p334). They can't be ordered separately…

8 x decent quality 4k IP cameras and an NVR for $800 is a pretty spectacular deal. Not sure those are P434 cameras though - the sensor…

This package seems to be one that's exclusively sold through big-box retailers like TGG and Bunnings, and elsewhere in the world at places…

Much like changing gears in a manual - it can be a bit jerky at first if the driver is inexperienced. It's pretty easy to drive smoothly,…

>If you're someone that likes thinking up new ideas, making things and fixing things, a 3d printer is an amazing tool. I find it's more a…

I got a FlashForge Adventurer 5M when it was on sale about 6 months ago. It's a CoreXY design like the P1, similar bed size and super easy…

Absolutely. The P1S is an excellent printer, and with the AMS multi-filament setup it's capable of really advanced and cool-looking stuff.…

You're right - this is good advice about how to act. But the question was one of road rules - OP wanted to check his understanding of the…

Using Homekit requires setting up a Home Hub (typically an Apple TV or Homepod) and then adding the Meross device to it so it can be…

It never does. It's actually remarkable

Should work for any mechanism that can be controlled by a momentary button.

It has a USB-A cable for power. It's unlikely that your garage door has USB outlets, so you will probably need a basic "phone charger"…

There are various ways to increase the rate of charge, but they all cost money. The simplest (and cheapest) way to charge an EV at home is…

How many doors do you want to control?

Homekit runs on a local server that controls devices using WiFi, so in theory you don't need the Meross app to control the device. However,…

Assuming a small EV and 10A plug, an overnight charge should be enough to add at least 150km range. If you can access off-peak rates for EV…

Absolutely. I didn't experience heated seats until I was nearly 40, and living in Queensland I always thought they were a pointless…

Truth? Go on, back up this "truth" with some real evidence from a reputable source. Hint: Facebook posts don't count.

These units are designed to mimic the behavior of a wired push-button to control the door. So they work nicely alongside the remote control…

No, for Google Home you can buy the cheaper non-Homekit version - it's linked on the same Amazon page.

It should function okay, but the unit isn't waterproof. Do you have somewhere to install it where it can be protected from the weather, and…

They are mechanically almost identical. This model is popular because it's one of the cheapest units with Homekit compatibility. If you…

A heat pump is going to take a couple minutes to start warming the air properly - it takes a lot of energy to bring the entire volume of…

Almost certainly not. HomeLink uses RF signals, so it's much more likely to be compatible with your actual garage door opener (ie as an…

If you have already set up Google Pay on your phone, it arrives on your watch once you sign in. It works entirely stand-alone, without a…

I have used NFC payments through Google Pay many times - it does work.
