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…

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.
17/02/2025 - 12:34
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.
14/02/2025 - 09:36
As another person on that bandwagon - my wife and I both received full cashbacks. She decided she didn't want the watch and sold it. I'm…

>Where did that figure come from? It sounds extremely low. The basic calculation is simple enough. My EV charging plan costs 8c/kWh, and…

If a camera is connected to your network rather than directly plugged into the NVR, you will need to do the setup on the NVR itself (plug…

>This is just factually incorrect unless you're using in the vicinity of 100kWh/day To be fair, a household's energy usage is often…

A BYD Seal Performance will walk your Mustang on the quarter mile all day long while costing $15k less, and AWD with a low centre of…

Better in what way? What's the benchmark you're going to use?
12/02/2025 - 16:11
No, I don't find that to be an issue. It's fairly thin material, so it dries reasonably quickly in my experience. Maybe it's a climate…
12/02/2025 - 15:25
Exactly. You could argue that hybrids are the best of both worlds. They have higher efficiency which leads to lower running costs, but…

Yep, all good solutions - but identifying and gaining access to the top of an exterior wall frame inside the roof cavity, was the single…

I have a No.1 PoE version and I'm very happy with it - the aspect ratio works well for my house. I am far more concerned with seeing people…
12/02/2025 - 12:57
Or a PoE injector connected to AC power for each camera. A switch is definitely neater, and almost certainly cheaper if there's more than…

No, none of the models listed in the title have 7 seater versions.
