existentialise

With UK summers increasingly getting hotter, I'm looking into ceiling fans and to be perfectly honest the selection in the UK is not amazing, and even worse if you want any sort of smart connectivity (I'd love to be able to control fan speeds via Apple Home etc).

Seems like a perfect gap in the market for IKEA....would love some stylish, smart options that are good value.

Hi all. I have a couple of TRADFRI motion sensors in various rooms such as the bathroom and hallway turning on the lights when motion is detected. I use Apple Home automations to do this.

It's all been fine until I moved to the new DIRIGERA hub. Most of the rooms work fine as before, but for some reason the lights in the bathroom NEVER turn off. I've checked all the settings and compared between the rooms and as far as I can tell they are identical. I've also repaired the motion sensor itself to see if that was an issue...but it's still happening.

Anyone know what might be the issue?

I've been having this problem for a while, but it's finally getting on my nerves. I've tried to see what the issue is and have followed all teh instructions to try and fix it.

I'm based in the UK, so my Mac is set to en-GB. So far I've:

• Made sure 'check my spelling' is ON in settings
• Downloaded an en-GB dictionary (two actually lol)
• Checked about:config for 'spell' settings. layout.spellcheckDefault is 1, services.sync.prefs.sync.layout.spellcheckDefault is true and services.sync.prefs.sync.spellchecker.dictionary is true.

I'm not sure what else i'm missing, short of reinstalling the whole thing again?

Hi all, currently transitioning from the TRADFRI hub to DIRIGERA. Trying to pair my MYRVARV as 'general lighting' but it doesn't detect it...anyone know if it is compatible?

Thanks

I'm biting the bullet today after I ordered the door open sensors only to realise they are not compatible with the TRADFRI hub....so I've ordered DIRIGERA. Any advice for how to manage the migration from one to the other?

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me because I'm at my wits end!

I am using Apple Home in my bedroom in combination with Ikea's smart products - in this case the Tradfri hub, as well as an wireless motion sensor, LED strip and ceiling light.

The devices have all been grouped into a 'Main Bedroom' room. For both lights, I have the accessory setting 'When motion detected, turn on' set to OFF. This is because I want to change the behaviour of the lights based on time of day, so I have two custom automations set up that are triggered by the motion sensor and set the strip light to a certain brightness.

The ceiling light I do not want to be affected by the automations or the motion sensor.

I'm running an event for around 500 in a space that's 30x15x10m (100x50x35ft) and need a basic pa set up, mostly for a couple of short speeches and some quiet background music whilst people mingle/chat.

The Bose L1 system looks ideal, but I'm worried that it won't be enough for 500 people, albeit at lower volumes than would be required for a gig/dj etc. Anyone have any experience/advice?

Thanks!

Quick summary:

I had an Admirals home insurance policy that was due to renew in December. However, the payment card on my account had expired, so obviously Admiral couldn't take the money, and I assumed that meant that the policy simply wouldn't renew.

I have now had an email from a debt collection agency (!) saying that I owe them £44 odd in 'arrears'.

Is this even legal/allowed? Any advice?
