In respect of the smoke alarms you are both wrong. 🤓 For U.K. rentals, you must have an interconnected smoke alarm on each level. You must also have a carbon monoxide alarm in any living accommodation room that has a fixed combustion appliance (Except a cooker) Scotland went a bit further...

andyp, Welcome ☑️

Typical, it wasn't where it "should be" (But at least I found it) :) Click here if you want one £44.00

This one Trouble is, because I want mine, I can't find it 😣, but its very good

Yes. If you have the correct means of dimming.

Who did she actually call? It's just that Open Reach work for any service provider, they don't work for "Joe public" Your customer should call her phone provider and ask them. Yes, I know it's confusing, but since they became 2 companies (2017) One has to ask the other to do something. It...

I understand your pain, but what you have to appreciate is most modern "devices" have "inbuilt quirks" (For want of a better word) and unless you know what they are you will assume "Part X" is at fault, when it isn't. Example: You put clothes in a washing machine, close the door, switch it on...

I understand that we all like to help 🥸, but It never achieves anything by guessing/changing random parts. Most things today require specialist knowledge/insight. Like having a daylight sensor that will not switch on lights, "but it used to, and I have changed the lights and sensor, and it...

To clarify: It is only the "controls" that are (as you say) tripping? No RCD, MCB or RCBO trips at all?

What exactly is it that is "Tripping"?

That will be this video I do the nice things too. :)

Glad you got it sorted. Texecom used to be good, but in the last couple of years the tech support has gone down hill, as has quality control.

Back in T'day before battery load test meters, if T' battery being charged was drawing more than T' 20mA I changed it. You said you got it from Screwfix, they don't have a high turn over of batteries, how old is the battery itself? Look at its serial number (on the top adjacent one terminal)...

Worth checking are the fuses tight. I have previously had panels where all looks ok, but fuse holder had 0.5mm gap at one end, so it looks ok, works sometimes. Solution: Take fuses out in turn, pinch holder together both, ends put fuse back (obviously) Also, Texecom have had a lot of poorly...

You have guessed right. The "day" light should be on constant. If it's flashing either the battery voltage is too low or no mains. How old is the battery?
