It sounds like you need a decent home network, like you said, put your router into bridge mode, connect a series of mesh wifi access points throughout your house. I have used TP deco mesh in the past, but moved to unifi because I wanted PoE rather than mains powered. The deco M9 was a solid choice, although not always great for range. I would run some external cat6 cable in hdpe pipe underground to the annex, or an outhouse and place a AP to cover the annex. A drum of cable isnt expensive and hdpe is just cheap irrigation pipe. Cheap range extenders and power line might seem like an alternative, but I think with a network, you just want to setup and forget, there's nothing worse than being pestered to restart the router or the extender keeps on dropping out, maybe you want to expand one day and you have to rethink again. I installed a cat6 infrastructure to points around my property, then I can run switches and AP's into that to ensure coverage, I can add or adjust as necessary. Unifi have an online tool to assist with network design, https://design.ui.com/wizard - I uploaded the floorpan of my house, provided a scale and I can visualize the wifi coverage over my land - I'm not suggesting you should go out and buy a unifi system, but you can use their online tools to see what would be a viable solution rater than use trial and error.

That's quite strange, with regard to working parties / village life (I never get asked anyway, my wife is just one of the "madam" Mia farang anyway) but when you speak to locals they are unaware of the hoops we need to jump through to get a visa, or the need for a wp, they just presume because we are married that we can just do whatever we want, and that most westerners dont do anything because they are loaded or incapable - I remember painting my road facing lounge and attracting an audience who watched in disbelief as they couldn't paint a wall with a roller themselves.

Yeah, I have seen them all so subs are available. I think one season was Google translate tho’ - The new seasons, S06 doesn’t have English subs, but I’m sure they will appear one day.

New series this week. Also, a new series of mocro mafia and the Danish, those who kill, but I'm unsure if it will come with English subtitles.

I’m pretty sure he means this https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11016042/ It also has a title In capital letters, putting 2 and 2 together. No, 🤦‍♂️ not the talented my ripely. Ripley is the story of a 50s / 60s (idk, seems to be a little vague on the time) grifter who takes a simple job in Italy. The locations are excellent, as is the tale, it’s quite slow and drawn out, lots of artsy shots, in a neo noir fashion. I enjoyed it, but I like stuff like this, a lot of folks won’t.

I think you mean RIPLEY? I’m not a fan of noir, but i really enjoyed the series. Not too sure if it’s the best since BB, but nice mini-series worth a watch.

If you have a VPN you can point it in the direction of Albania, the government prohibits the monetization of videos. Here is a list. https://isthischannelmonetized.com/data/youtube-monetized-countries/ Have you looked on apple iTunes or whatever they call it now for older films? I think you pay $1.99 or something, but cant be sure.

I just came to say, idk if anyone is still interested but there are 2 new 24 hours, they are naming them as “specials” on the tvdb sites, so the tv cappers or usenet put them up as S00, supposed to be e23/24 which might be you S17E02 - I also found e23 The devils chain, I downloaded that one too, as I think I also missed it.

Yes, I saw this on YouTube. its pretty cool, the sensor is still quite expensive from what I remember. You don't need to own a 3D printer to use esphome, but I'm sure you would find it useful. I have a broken down ender 3, it does the job well now. I use it all the time, for instance, I want to put my construction laser level on a light stand as I'm putting up shelving all over the place - I need a 1/4" to 5/8" - I could order one from amazon, maybe take 10 days, an a few $, the shipping probably costs more than the item or print one https://www.printables.com/model/171219-tripod-adapter-14-20-fm-to-58-11-stud in an hour.

This is the thing, although there are some Texas stores, the ones we used to visit were in petrol stations, they took over the spots in “Jiffy” stores left by A&W. So what will be next? I will miss Texas (kinda) because they were convenient and cheap, the food ok, you could park outside, eat, then get a refill coke to go.

What are you using for sensors? I have been playing with esphome using BME280 sensors, you could even use a BME680 to give you more environmental variables. I like the code but the project has been taken over by homeassistant, Sometimes it’s a little tricky to use without running HA.

Just because you isolate your system doesn’t mean you don’t get alerts. There is need to control how it’s exposed to the internet, and what communicates with the outside world. For privacy concerns, financial reasons, and that I don’t need to, I don’t use any cloud services, everything is hosted locally. This doesn’t mean I can’t control the ac from my phone while I’m driving home - Apple home / CarPlay is pretty good for this, cameras can be accessed via a reverse proxy - my traffic passes via cloudflare just like this website. You can put cameras on separate VLAN and use bridges within your firewall so that your network isn’t being accessed by other parties. Alerts can be pushed to messengers by bots on telegram or webhooks, or there is open source software such as ntfy, which will push notifications from your security system or any other system like your solar or power management system.

There have been so many times that I have passed overturned cars on straight dual carriage way, like how do these guys manage it?

lol .. yes, I can appreciate that, maybe it seems that I'm talking in a different language. I just mentioned a lot of things because the first posts in a thread like this are always about privacy concerns, whether it’s Chinese devices calling home or data harvested by google - I have none of this, most of the software mentioned is open source and / or hosted locally. The next thing is as @OneMoreFarang pointed out, home automation should be automatic, if you need to pull a cellphone from your pocket and decide what platform you should use then it’s not automation, it’s replacing a switch with a cellphone. I like automation - its a good topic, I like to hear about how others integrate smart homes into Thai lifestyle, for me it’s a lot of DIY because I don’t have an unlimited budget or access to some things that are available in the states or a Europe.

What do you mean? This is my home setup.

I use automations, which I trigger with a whole heap of cheap aqara pir sensors, tuya occupancy, espresence, nothing is allowed to connect to the internet, I just use a local server. I use node-red behind the scenes, the general aim is to have everything automated but I use Apple home as a front end on a wall mount ipad to keep it simple for visitors or when automations don't fire. I have Alexa’s but they don’t connect to the Amazon servers. I use HAA to flash sonoff relays, I’m not a fan of company firmware for privacy reasons. I have been playing around with esphome building sensors, i don't need a HA dashboard, but it’s good to log environmental data for future garden automation and display using grafana. I’m haven’t fully moved into my new house but it’s all good fun.

i agree, after the first year everything is a formality. Especially if you can afford to keep the 400K in the bank. There was a post in out local Khon Kaen fb group yesterday, the whole application took 37 mins from the time he walked in the door. I guess a lot depends upon the local office. I have done so many now, the IO doesn’t ask questions and I sit in silence. It’s just a formality, I don’t begrudge the morning and previous afternoon, it’s just 8 hours out of the year.

But the thing was, I stopped, just like I would have done in the UK, both parties stop and sort out the problem. The police were already there controlling the traffic at the junction so I had no choice to involve them. I don’t know how 3 ambulances got to the site so quickly, then two or three bikes of family. I tried to pull the policeman to one side and say, look this isn’t a problem, just tell them to leave but they thought I was trying to pay my way out. The police would not control the situation, even when the sons were in my face shouting at me. The situation escalated so quickly and the family started demanding money. The bike was old, and all scratched up, I probably caused a scratched bar end and broken mirror. In the end I presented all my documents, the policeman had my license in his pocket along with the woman’s ID. I then noticed there was no tax disc on the bike, I asked to see the woman’s license and mandatory insurance, suddenly everyone looked at the ground. I had 500B in my pocket, I offered it for a new mirror and the polceman advised her to take it and everyone go there own way. Im Just saying, you learn through experience and I would consider bolting if I was ever to be involved in another accident, not because of irresponsibly but for personal safety.

I had an accident once (whilst riding a bike) would probably go as far to say I caused it, but the other bike wasn’t paying attention to the road, it’s probably something that happens to you a hundred times a day and you just avoid it, but this woman dropped her bike. The police were on the scene within seconds, I put my hands up and said, I will make things right - the woman’s family turned up and started needlessly shouting and pointing and getting in my face, the police did nothing but to try and extort cash from me on behalf of the woman, three ambulances showed up for a tiny cut. Things got so out of control and I worried for my safety. After the experience I made a decision that should anything happen like this in the future, I perhaps wouldn’t behave like I would in the UK, that I wouldn't immediately stop and admit liability but would possibly assess the situation and maybe flee. I’m not trying to be the guy that says “I wouldn’t stop at an accident” but the whole thing was a mess, it really demonstrated how things can go wrong here within a short time.

I clicked this because I have seen some interesting items on Temu and a little confused about shipping, etc. so not just jumping upon your post. I ordered one item from Decathalon online, which I returned and exchanged for a different size. There was some issue because i needed to complete a Google form or something, the guy who called a couple of times and sorted out my mess was amazing, quite honestly the best customer helpline experience I have had in Thailand. When I first spoke to the guy I didn’t believe he was Thai because of his accent and his sensible manner. I don’t have cause to buy from Decathalon, but I’m surprised by your comment.

What channel would they be on? .. tbh, the whole system is redundant, tv shows used to air on certain days on a weekly basis, nowadays they are all released to the cloud on the same day (mostly) if those channels are free then they you can just watch them in your web browser, if you want to keep a copy in your computer hdd, I can tell you how.

Oh yeah, that doesn’t stop for the first two series. Series 3 is quite different, more of a plot away from the sex scenes.

Currently watching S03 of Industry I remember that is wasn’t given the best reviews, but I binged on the first two series.

Can that run on windows 95?
