An enjoyable Video by #TomScott that's well worth watching, illustrating the first attempts at creating a smart home at #Cragside during the 19th Century.

#PLANNING#APPLICATION#FEES
Homeowners should be aware of the new fees, as of 1st April these have increased from £258 to £528. The Planning Portal (a private entity used to submit applications) has a fee of £85, that makes a total of £613. Previously £328 and before that, £172.
Merely a brief comment to say that we are very pleased with the performance increases provided by the latest version of @SketchUp Pro. Credit due to the developers working hard behind the scenes, thank you.
We are fairly cautious when recommending smart home related devices, as they either they're either 'fly by night' products or have privacy concerns. The two we currently trust are @LocalBytesShop and @shelly_IoT when combined with @home_assistant.

If your business or property has existing #SolarPanels that are being replaced/upgraded, instead of sending the old panels to landfill, do consider giving them to Cody Solutions. They will be gratefully reused elsewhere in the world.

Please note, we are currently experiencing telephone issues. Apologies for any inconvenience caused, we regret this beyond our control and our telecoms provider is working hard to resolve this.
@GoveeOfficial Hello, I see this product has been withdrawn from sale, is it likely to return? We did notice the 3 pins were not properly aligned with a standard UK socket and the product would not fit flush with the faceplate. Many thanks, Chris
The Planning Portal used for submitting Planning and Building Applications is increasing the fee from May 2023. The new fee will be £64, up from £32.20.
In some boroughs & districts it is still possible to complete a paper application and avoid this fee.

Alongside our colleagues at the @TQ_Solutions , we are all deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Our thoughts are with the Royal Family and all that knew her.
You will be truly missed.
