Yea that will most probably be the budget, any suggestions on that entry level?

Hi All, My domestic worker is looking for the cheapest solution available to run some LED lights, TV and radio maybe. have looked on Takealot and don't trust some of those products. Can someone recommend a reliable solution/brand for the inverter (less than 300W), panel and battery to run for a few hours?

...can you share a bit wider, this is awesome!!

Thanks, I have seen a few people saying they have done this but thought it was just me been doff. Clearly isn't a clear cut way to do it and taking thermostat out is dodgy. I think most practical option is as ScOObs suggested, just need to now see what would be the most effective way to insulate it on the hotwater pipe. If there is a variance of 10%, doest that really matter🤷‍♂️ think not

Thanks ScOObs, agreed. So I am still confused as to where one then puts the SONOFF temp sensor?

That sounds interesting. How do you then get the temp sensor into HA?

Hi guys, Do you insert the temp sensor into the where the thermostat should go? I read someone that one of the guys straps it to the hotwater output and insulates it, therefore leaving the thermostat in tact, sacrifice is that the temp is not as accurate? Whats the best setup to control geyser with HA?

Thats great to hear!! DO they have a timeframe for this possible release? MQTT in HA is the way to go, especially with the new Energy feature in HA

Shouldnt be an issue, this wont affect the operations of the alarm at all. If there is a case, insurance generally only checks that the alarm was armed, from the provider. This is supplementary control to the core functionality of the system

Shucks, such a pity! Thanks though

Thanks man, are you able to monitor which zones are activated at all?

Hi vlan_one, Did you come right with this at all?

Brilliant idea

Sjo so many fly-by-nights coming out now! Imagine if your house caught fire due to the negligence! Have you got a CoC from them? Are the registered with any industry bodies?

Good solution, much cheaper than a heatpump!!
