September 7, 201411 yr comment_399527 Or tragic. Whichever the outcome But Stuart to a degree, if they end up burnt to death in a house fire or electrocuted there's only one person to blame. Clearly an electrician has told them what needs doing but rather than spend £100 to get the job done right they want to spend £8 saving a massive £92. Thing is, dead it's not much use to them but diynot knows best eh. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/37343-wiring-a-pir-and-a-magnetic-contact-in-parallel/page/3/#findComment-399527 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

September 7, 201411 yr comment_399529 Not going ahead with a quote is one thing, but, worse than that, the forum means they never speak to the electrician who tells them the forum advice is a pile of ****, or even several if they don't believe the first one...

September 7, 201411 yr comment_399530 It's frightening. I'd have that website banned and the likes of it. Breakers trip for a reason and that reason needs to be found and put right. Going to wait until someone touches the light switch and ends up on the other side of Pluto? I had an electrical problem of my own however found a fluke wasn't necessary to diagnose I have a six way extension behind my pc in the house and each morning my wifi was offline and it's plugged in to the same extension so took a look and the switch was off. Flicked it back on and same happened again the following day. Puzzled put it back on and sure enough day after same again. I listen to the radio via tune in and the stream just stopped so I goes to investigate and the cat is sat with its paw on the switch as it's a thoroughfare to the cupboard where he's started sleeping www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/37343-wiring-a-pir-and-a-magnetic-contact-in-parallel/page/3/#findComment-399530 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

September 7, 201411 yr comment_399540 I'd say a piece of 4x2 for the cat. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
