I've always loved plumbing but I'm slowly becoming more disinterested in the industry, sadly  That's that double edge sword PB when do you stop taking that awkward job on because of forced change, makes the challenge a hassle. The industry forecast to lose the most workers due to technology and working practices are not plumbers, so no out for you through that door Tom's going to leave open! www.fastcompany.com/3067279/you-didnt-see-this-coming-10-jobs-that-will-be-replaced-by-robots |

People of my generation were told that we would have a lot more leisure time than previous generations. A lot of peeps where indeed retiring in there mid-50s - just twenty years ago! The retirement age for men will drop to 60 because machines would be doing all the work by then. It's not working out that way though is it? |

£18 here B!! rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142555330203There’s lots to go wrong with these controls, not only the actual controller, but then there’s the software & the computer that hosts it. I’m a bit of an electronics saddo, so like this kind of stuff. I’m interested in Opertherm etc, but unfortunately the kind of work I do limits my involvement with installs using this. I may buy this Chinky WiFi control & stick it in Puller Towers. |

Evening Dick - that price is for a none WIFI version - if you find one for that price I could use it for a tester as a sign of life remote alarm activation device. |

Not suitable for Boiler, furnace, AC system and water floor hearing.) says henry the mild mannered janitor

I think it’s WiFi connected B, but not an RF controller, but hard wired to the boiler. I think???!!!! Do you need a PIR sensor for an Alarm mate? |
