    Only one condominium. With (possible, planned) 100% home automation.

     

    The above pictures are from a video, just examples.

    I want a big box for two reasons:

    In many small boxes all cables are cramped next to each other. It's difficult to get an overview and even more difficult to add or change anything.

    I prefer a big box which is half empty compared to a cramped smaller box.

     

    And maybe I will use a couple of current transformers similar to this to monitor which devices (i.e. which AC) uses how much power. They also need space.

    Sounds sweet bro! I wish you much success. ????

    Acer laptops seem good to me. Using one now, 11 years old, purchased secondhand in South America. It had a U.S.A. keyboard but as some of the keys eventually failed, I had that replaced with a U.K. one. Mrs bought a different model of Acer laptop in Thailand, dating from 2009 which works well too.

    Yea. Acers & Dells last forever bro. Just clean out the fan & heatpipes once a year & all set ????

    The camera thing takes the pee .. 

     

    I too bought a Toyota recently, a pickup, the final incentive that was offered after no more discount was the camera. I had already looked at the spec of the best xiaomi model and tbf the rep offered us 1500B or a camera - which would have paid most of the xioami camera.

     

    The camera arrived a month after the car, I asked to take the camera away to check the image, "oh, cannot" if you take away we won't fit for free for you. "Oh really?" I took the camera and then went to see a local fitter who has a good reputation.

     

    The fitter, although agreed, squirmed with the thought of the job, apparently if anything breaks during fitting then its not covered by warrantee and he couldn't afford to replace anything, then he told us a story of a new truck he fitted a camera to, it got to under 2 years and the lights stopped working, under investigation Isuzu blamed fitting an aftermarket camera by a non-approved fitter.

     

    We went back to Toyota and told them to fit it, the sales rep agreed with the story from my guy and their fitter installed it for free. They made a decent job with the wiring but the fitting kit was a bit big, I was distracted by these plastic bars in and around my rear view mirror and on the back screen, I pulled the cameras off, cut them back and remounted myself and made them more discreet.

     

    The quality of the camera is pretty poor compared to the Xioami.

     

    When I saw "free servicing" on my Honda CBR, the first vehicle I had bought new I was shocked to find that I had to pay for oil and whatever, its just the way it is. The labour is free, trouble is, there is no expertise, its just some hedge monkey who graduated from the local tech college who is following procedure. Prolly gets paid 400B a day, so they are hardly giving anything away.

    Yep. The <deleted> was going to put the oil filter on backwards during my CBR's first service. I just wanted the stamp on the book. Told the dude. That's backwards. And as Thais are never wrong. I'm like okay. I'll be back in 20 mins for a new engine. Up 2 you. Never saw that guy again haha.

    Dude get a life. You obviously haven't been here long enough to understand that you are damned if you do, damned if you don't. I vent my frustrations here at times because when I try to do it with my wife she doesn't understand. Try working in a Thai school to see what is going on. You will be segregated and looked down upon by Thai admin that wouldn't be allowed to clean toilets in a school back in the west. Before asking questions like yours, live a little then express yourself. Why am I still here? Cos I have 2 cars, a cool motorcycle, a pretty wife and I can go to the beach when I want to. Life is still cheaper here, but not for long. 

    Couldn't of said it better mate.
