    Home Assistant beginners

    Maybe a daft question, but currently I have two entities, one from my smart meter with price per kwh and another from an energy monitor on my washing machine with kwh usage. Any easy way to create a kind of derived entity which multiplies kwh used by per per kwh to give costs per day?

    S21+ charge port faulty?

    Yep, they'll do this - had mine replaced a couple of weeks ago by a guy who turned up in a van and did it there and then.

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    Thanks, glad I asked! When I started looking for quotes I had about 10k in mind including a battery - so this is indeed very high.

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    Finally managed to get a quote after trying at least half a dozen companies, but have not idea how competitive this is? https://imgur.com/a/9oXpGLa A bit worried that with everyone being so busy companies can almost quote what they like!

    Why do churches control a large number of schools?

    You know you can withdraw them from collective worship and/or RE if you want? The school has to allow this and has to provide alternative activies during the time..

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Brilliant, thankyou - yes this is a USG. I guess my confusion came from the fact that when you make the changes via putty and dump the config the entries don't appear here.

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Can someone please help me to understand when / what causes the hosts file to be recreated? There's no reference to it in the config.json, so I didn't think it was at reboot, but overnight I lost a series of custom routes despite no reboot / obvious changes etc? I guess the next question is...

    Hiking, backpacking, trekking, mountaineering...

    First time I've ventured in here, hoping you can help! Looking for a rain cover for my 30l pack, for a combination of hiking and cycling. The ones I have seen either just seem to be elastic round the edge, which I am not sure will stay on long when cycling, or have clips on the back which seem...

    bike4work scheme

    Most bike shops will only let you use the voucher against full priced items - as the scheme provider (cyclescheme for example) only pass on a limited % of the voucher value to them - between 85 and 90% I think - so presumably this loss combined with discounted items would lead to them losing...

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Can you help in checking my requirements here please? Hopefully by the middle of this year I will be getting Starlink to supplement our pathetic FTTC connection, but given this is in Beta I would want to keep both connections in the short term. I am hoping that this is possible by purchasing a...

    Upgrade - help me decide

    It's upgrade season and I'm not sure what to do, currently have an S10 which I am happy with, but debating upgrading to either an S21, Pixel 5 or maybe even and iPhone 12 (always been Android so far). The Pixel is about £10 a month cheaper than the other two, I don't use the phone for anything...

    Does anyone know if Eufy products can save to a network drive rather than just the SD card in the base unit?

    Mid Range Gaming Spec

    What do you guys think to this as a starting point for my teenager? Ryzen 7 2700x ASUS Prime B450M-A 16gb 3200mhz Corsair Vengence 480gb Corsair Force MP510 RTX 2070 Super or 3070 (stock depending) CV650 Corsair Power Supply Case still tbc. Does this give some good building blocks? Thanks

    TV aerial issues

    There will be a splitter / booster tucked away somewhere and given that two of three sockets are working that is probably ok. It might be worth checking the connection in the one which isn't if you are confident enough to unscrew and take a look? Is it just a single aerial output or does it...

    What’s more reliable?

    I've had a 2014 GT86 for 4 years now, and over that time had a failed bonnet alarm switch and the common drivers window scratching (caused by the foam coming off the guide roller). Both fixed under warranty with no issues. Warranty is 5 years, a 2015 may still just be in, so I would try look...

    When best to use PAC code?

    Thanks, so your notice period starts from when you use the code? Rather than when you request it?

    When best to use PAC code?

    Not done this for a long time so am a little confused. Would my notice period have started when I requested the PAC code? If so I presume it is then best to wait around three weeks before using it and activating my new sim to reduce the time I am paying for but not using the old one? Or does...
