My Dad has 2 Roku's in different rooms and he's really not tech savvy. They work great for him and we haven't had to replace either of them in 5-6 years.
He's quite a heavy TV user so the build quality is good. I would recommend them.
Hopefully that helps.

I'd love an activitypub based alternative to Instagram. What do you use for posting photos? Did you say PixelFed? I might have the name wrong

Actually, I read the bug report and it seems my phone is still on the previous version of the app. Good to know this though, thanks!

Didn't have any problems like that on my phone. I'll check the storage and make sure though. Thanks for the warning

Still very much at the research stage for now but if I do go with Tado I may give you a shout for the discount code. Thanks!

Just did a quick search for Tado gear and it looks like Screwfix is well stocked with it here in the UK. That makes it very tempting

Thanks for the tip. I am also considering this approach. It might be a better solution

I find myself browsing posts on the Home Assistant community site about which are the best radiator valves to get in the UK.
*sigh* You have a lot to answer for OggCampers!! #OggCamp2024
Quick background: I played around with HA about 5-6 years ago and gave up or got distracted but attending #Oggcamp has revived my interest. Seems a lot has changed and improved since I last tried.
