Hi Vignesh When you say dry running issue, are you saying you have a sump and you have some automation wherein the pump turns itself on even when there is no water in the sump? Not sure if I understood this correctly. Assuming you have a sump or a water storage in the ground floor and want to...

Thanks Karthik..Now a days biggest issue is finding plumbers/electricians..particularly in Bangalore. Seems there is a building boom going on and hence all technicians in the building industry are fully occupied. Instead of spending 50K for getting a hot shower..let me just buy a bucket for...

Its been 18 months since my post and I have added more Smarteefi relays and smart plugs. Only issue is that if internet is off..they dont work...some say they have LAN mode but I cant figure it out. So if something is turned on using a smart switch and internet is off..we have to figure out...

Speed doesnt depend entirely on the ISP but also of the seeders of the torrent. IF you run speedtest...99% of the time you get 300+ mbps. When you download a torrent, it varies..but then I dont put it for download and watch it...normally I have few torrents running and I sleep over it...next...

Nothing shady in this. They let you know what they are offering before hand. Maybe all fibre ISPs do the same. I wasnt smart enough to understand initially. But unlimited 300MBPS at 500 a month plus GST..I dont see anyone coming close. Hence small compromise for the great value you are...

Nah..during festival sale got myself a gbps router..took Rj45 from their router to my router and its working fine. They are not very flexible and hence this is the best option I could think of - no dependence on them but one time outflow from my pocket

No..my point is..is there anyway I can completely bypass Excitel by getting my own fibre to PON box with a RJ45 output

Hi All.. Continuing my previous complaints ...is it possible to buy my own PON box that outputs RJ45 and then buy my own Router...which I actually did in prime day sale today? meaning after the fibre cable reaches my own..I completely take over and not rely on Excitel at all? I have raised a...

I have Excitel 300mbps unlimited for 7K a year. Works pretty well- this one is highly dependent on local cable guy who manages it. I does have its downtimes, but given all of us have mobile phones with 2GB per day data plans, we use hotspots in emergencies. Sonoff offers LAn mode as well in...

Hi, I have few Halonix radar motion control bulbs and also Chinese PIR bulbs which I use at various places to turn on lights. I am interested to have few motion sensors that can trigger LED strips - both AC and DC. Few years back, I had the following installed under my bed and it works well...

I am not a tech guy but like automation and since 2017 have accumulated the following: (a) Two Tinxy 6 channel relay to control 12 points - lights and fan (b) Three Sonoff 4 channel relays to control 12 points like above, 4-5 Sonoff single relays - the first automation I bought way back in...

let me know how to check..can try and respond. Thx

Yes. Thats why I wanted to know what smart things this can do..will spend sometime on the net today as well plus today i am getting it installed

Hi yeah... 350 per camera and 1500 for NVR..so thats 3250. 65 per meter for cabling..so thats another 4K say.. I am going with my electrician as I think for one person to get paid 7K a day seems high. I have seen several videos on youtube and it seems we cant screw up on hardware and setting...

Hi, I live in an independent house and wanted to have CCTV installed. Came to know that IP cameras are better although they cost 2-3 times traditional CCTV set. Anyways I bought a Dahua setup after I did some researching on the net. I got 4 bullet cameras and one dome camera along with 8...
