I have a Nest iq outdoor camera for my front drive, which it seems has been discontinued. So I can see there's a Nest Indoor/Outdoor Camera (battery) available, but I also see Nest wired one available. However, if you go on the Google store, thats not an option. Can anyone explain? I've also...

Hi, We are looking to get some lights on the front of our house that we would like to come on when it starts to get dark, but not after a specific time such as 23:00. I know this is do-able with Philips Hue lights, but as the better half would like 7/8 up and down lights, this would come in at...

Hi all, I have started a job on my old house and as is always the case what you think should be a simple job reveals stuff you never expected and now wish I had not started 😂. So got a new door installed yesterday and we decided the vestibule tiling looked awful next to it so needed to be...

I've recently had my garden landscaped, and as part of the project I wanted to incorporate some subtle lighting to help extend the occasional nice day of weather the British summer brings us. I've never had much luck with solar lights, so I decided to go with Philips Hue as we'd used them...

Greetings, I have a wired, outdoor subwoofer that sounds distorted. The two outdoor speakers connected to the subwoofer sound great. I paid attention to polarity left/right when connecting to the receiver. It is a new OSD FORZA8 outdoor omni subwoofer. Thinking it might be defective, I...

I know extended warranties are usually a not so great investment but I’m buying a sunbrite veranda tv and given the fact that the tv will be outside does the geek squad warranty make sense. It’s $400 on a $2k tv!

My cousin is getting married in a month, just before the proposed removal of final restrictions. As such no music is allowed to be played indoors and no dancing and such. However, the location is in the middle of nowhere using old farm buildings. One building is a barn without walls. The venue...

So, I’ve not used a projector for a few years, so I’m not as up to date with the technology as I once was…though I suspect I might be looking for more of a reminder. Read on. We’re ‘re-doing’ the garden. SWMBO suggests we could watch films outside in the autumn/winter. She’s seen those little...
