advice on smart appliances
Just how good are smart appliances? I’ve heard a lot about the internet of things and how with more and more connected devices, we can have more control and ultimately simplify everything in life.

Pull cord socket fell off
I tried to replace a pull cord, I cut the old one off and tried to unscrew the socket to loop the Bree string through, realised after it was much more complicated! I unscrewed a smaller white socket inside the socket and the lights went out and I accidentally dropped it with little pieces everywhere and have no idea how I can reattach the pull cord. Probably just need a new one? Issue is now the light was still on whilst it fell out and i can’t isolate the bathroom and turn that off only.
Driveway gate electrical fault
If there’s some kind of fault with the electrics, power cut, etc. how can I get in and out of my driveway gates if they are automated/electric? Is it harmful to the gates if I were to try to open them without the use of power? Is this dangerous?
