A shout out to @Reshen, thank you for the great service, I will definately do business with you again. Loving my A6, I am a very happy customer 😁

@Reshen Do you have an update on the remotes yet? Thanks.

@Reshen Have the remotes arrived and do you have a price? Thanks.

At the risk of being burned at the stake, here is my 2 cents. I have found the easiest way to create an amazing soundstage is using my 7.2 surround sound setup with the output on the amp set to stereo from all channels or rather front, rear and atmos speaker on left channel and repeated on the...

@Reshen Will you have remotes too?

The Paloma has no problem with mixers, all the taps in my house are mixers.

if you havent already, I suggest you join www.energytalk.co.za Its another South African forum and the members are a very helpful bunch and will get you sorted in no time. There are a few members who are very willing to assist with node red and have even copied their flows which you can just...

Your GX device can also use node red to achieve the same results as home assistant. It has the functionality built in and may just require a firmware upgrade

I use home assistant to read the MQTT data sent by the GX device to switch a Sonoff POW smart relay flashed with Tasmota to do the switching of the geyser. The Sonoff also has a temp probe so I can see roughly the temperature of the water inside the geyser. I also use home assistant to...

This is yesterdays graph. Here you can see the green graph steadily rise as the battery bank takes all the available solar. Once the batteries are full, the geyser switches on automatically, that is the square spike in the red line. This raised the temperature of the water in the geyser from 25...

Diversifying your energy sources is always a good idea. I installed a Paloma 26L gas geyser 5 years ago and I am still very happy with the solution. I have a 5 kVa Victron and I installed a 2kW element in my existing electric geyser and had the Paloma installed after it. Any excess solar is...

I've bought the Klipsch R-41PM powered monitors for near field listening at my home desk. Will be delivered later today. I'm going to use my Macbook into Schiit Modi 3+ DAC into the Schiit Vali 2 and the pre out into the Klipsch. Super excited.

What happened at Capitec?

@mars267 I’m no legal expert, but the problem as I understand it is that the law requires a habitable room to have a window to ensure sufficient light and ventilation. Also when you decide to sell, you will not be able to sell the unit with the dry wall modifications and it will likely have to...

Just. WOW! I am very interested in your DIY projects, mind sharing more details and perhaps some photos? Is the ss amp purely DIY of your own design or was it a kit? I wouldn’t mind trying my hand at a DIY tube amp kit if such a thing exists.
