Home automation question - building a new house with Braemar ducted heater
Need a thermostat that will work in Australia and be compatible with Z Wave devices for overall home automation solution…the provided Braemar thermostat is dumb and offers no connectivity options
Looked at Nest (compatability issues) and Ecobee (not available in Australia)
They are fantastic, have had mine since launch day (almost 2 years) and not a single problem. Have never owned another pair of wireless headphones though so don’t know how they compare to other options out there.
Decided to buy my first iPad yesterday. Got the iPad Pro 11 inch.
Really have to hand it to Apple - the hardware on this thing is amazing. So fluid, and the 120Hz display is nuts. Only downside was my wallet afterwards!
Only got it yesterday
I’ll mainly use it for multimedia - social media. etc (Honestly, a 9.7" iPad would’ve been more than enough), but i am also planning on using it for testing apps (software development).
I was not a fan of wireless headphones… until last night… when for some reason, I suddenly decided to pair my B&O H4’s to my 2017 Sony TV (which has Bluetooth audio) and they worked better than I thought they would. No dropouts, and no noticeable degradation in sound quality compared to wired.
The B&O aren’t as comfortable as my Bose (which doesn’t have Bluetooth) but I may now look at getting a Bluetooth Bose headphone.
Not sure that noise canceling is a real benefit to me though, as most of my listening is indoors at home.
I prefer the design of Beats X personally, I have a pair and couldn’t recommend them more. One of the best things Apple has done in recent years was the purchase of Beats - they’ve eliminated the tackiness and upped the quality of the brand considerably.
Installed the latest IOS software (whatever version that is) on “The New iPad” (2017 model)…
Now I can’t get proper full screen streaming, as in when I plug in with an Apple HDMI adaptor, the iPad would always lock and go black saying “connected to TV” with a faint blue graphic.
Now it’s not doing that, just mirroring whatever else is on the screen, including (for example) website URL bar, borders. Have to use aspect/magnifying button on TV now to zoom, passable but not the best.
Better not be one of those ‘Apple have again changed something that wasn’t broke before and yep, nothing we can do, just have to deal with it’
