Hi
Have a client that wants some smart switches. I’m changing there down lights to rapid LED DLs and then they requested this.
“Whichever one that can connect to grid connect or something similar? Just something that might allow us to turn the lights on or off remotely?
Don’t think they will pay top tier for like pixie or something like that.
Any recs would be great.
Cheers
Hi
Got approached to do this as an electrical contractor. Anyone know if this would work? I am very keen on more leads!
Not sure if it would be worth the money? Anyone have experience with something similar and has it worked?
Cheers
Hi all
Electrical contractor here. I have a previous client wanting the following done. (have done work for him at his property previously (decent client)).
After any advice on how to tackle this one?
Client has a dual occupancy property at Holland Park West QLD with 3-phase supply.
Upstairs and downstairs are rented separately. Current issue is the sub-boards are effectively swapped: • Downstairs sub-board is in upstairs garage • Upstairs sub-board is in downstairs laundry
Client wants the installation reworked so: • Downstairs circuits + solar are relocated/terminated in laundry board • Upstairs circuits + hot water are relocated/. terminated in garage board • Each tenancy only has access to its own circuits
They also want future provision for separate Energex metering/accounts for each tenancy if not possible immediately. Potentially set up for 2 meters / 2 NMIs later. Existing meter already in laundry, may only need additional meter position for upstairs.
In the meantime, they want private kWh check meters installed: • Upstairs usage meter to exclude HWS • Downstairs usage meter to exclude solar generation So they can split bills accurately.
Other requests: • Investigate/repair garage ceiling light (upstairs circuit) • Confirm solar inverter size • Confirm solar array size on roof • Check if solar system appears to be operating correctly
The garage ceiling will be removed soon for a week and will allow access for re wiring.
FYI - I have no solar experience.
Hi
I’m quoting a job in a new tenancy (vet clinic) they are using a lot of existing power and data and I’m just rearranging and adding power and data. There is a data rack in the tenancy but I’m not sure how to get these ports live and working? I had a look around for the nbn incoming but couldn’t find it.
How does this type of thing work in the commercial world? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the rookie question, I mainly do resi but have done plenty of commercial for other companies and never had to deal with the commissioning side of things.
Thanks!
(Sparky here) So to update this meter board in QLD(for a client) I believe the process is to update to side hinged meterbox such as a Hagar VYMBQ for example.
Move all the meters into the new board and supply a main switch that feeds the sub board (In decent condition behind the current meter box)
Then after all that submit and EWR to Energex to reseal the meters. After this the supply contractors can come swap the meters out for new digital ones.
Is this correct? Is this how you would go about it or would you delete the sub board and move it all into the new meter box?
Cheers!
