Gemmill 44243 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Does anyone remember when Lightwater Valley used this song on an advert, but instead of "Peace in the city" the lyrics were "Lightwater Valley"? Can you feeeeeel it? Can you feeeeeel it? I've been looking for the Lightwater Valley version but can't find it. Just checking someone else remembers.

Gemmill 44243 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Anyone got any Smart Home shit going on? The storm last week killed my doorbell so I bought a Ring Video one to replace it. Then got the bug and bought a Ring security system (alarm basically) which arrives tomorrow, along with a camera spotlight for the back garden. (my wanker old school alarm needs a service and they want me to pay £300 for a three year contract, when I can get a full Ring system for cheaper and no service bullshit to deal with). And I've ordered a quote for installing Nest to control the heating. And I bought my first smart lightbulbs, although that one is cos I let my lass measure for a cabinet in the spare room, and she measured so that the cabinet completely covers the light switch. Where if I just replace the light bulb with a smart one, I can tell Alexa to turn the fucker on (or use my phone), taking the switch right out of the game. Who's with me? If nothing else, CT is about to drop 2 grand after reading this post. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21792 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 yeah, big tech doesn't have enough on me already. i think i'll install some cameras so they can literally spy on me in my own home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44243 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 How dare you. You can get a ring one that comes with cameras for inside, but I'm not that daft. Motion sensors and door contact sensors is all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5164 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) I've had this on the radar for a while, don't see any reason not to since it's inevitably the direction of travel that society is going to head down. Quite keen on the idea of intelligent lighting systems generally as I'm quite mood sensitive on light. As for being spied on, they know everything anyway man - and what could possibly be going on in your home that is more shameful than your internet search history?

Gemmill 44243 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The lightbulbs thing looks canny, aye. Mad that you can get a single bulb that does colours, warm lighting, cool lighting, and all dimmable, controlled via either an app or voice control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4172 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 We have a simplisafe alarm etc. Mainly because this place didn’t have an alarm when we bought it. Put a motion sensor camera out the back because our old garage was broken into and all my tools nicked, first thing the polis asked was did I have cctv footage. Also I can see which horrible cunt cats are laying cables in my garden and throw stones at them specifically rather than a scattergun approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All controlled by a pc and alexa enabled including lights, cameras and all AV equipment. Still need to do my central heating though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok you are hiding behind the cabinet excuse but ffs, walking into a room and saying Alexa lights on or clapping your hands…. I love a gadget as much as the next idiot. Sonos arc and surround speakers, worth every penny. A fucking video doorbell Fine if you live in Beverley hills but howay. Some fucker has one in our street cos I keep hearing that irritating jingle. As for Alexa, the only thing I use it for is timing cooking or pausing and playing TV. If I’m sprawled on the sofa it’s much easier to say pause / play than sit up to get the remote. Ive lately being trying to convince myself there is some point to a smart watch Just know @Dr Gloom has one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
