I looked at an old ESP Entryview 3 Multi system this morning with a faulty monitor unit, doorbell in one flat not working. After connection check both ends, and swapping two ports didn't result in a doorbell working I gave up.
As far as I can tell I haven't a hope of getting a compatible spare...

Hi, I need to replace an old extractor fan in a house I rent out. The bathroom has a lot of black mould on the ceiling and I'm wanting to prevent this from happening again. A fan with a humidistat that turns on when it gets too humid sounds like a good idea but is it as easy as just replacing...

Hi, would appreciate some wiring advice in replacing an old outdoor lamp with a Philips Robin 4.5W Wall Lantern with PIR.
I believe the previous lamp had an override which meant it could be left permanently on which I'm guessing is why we have 4 wires coming from the house?
I'm puzzled how the...
