I have this same exact drain you have. I just purchased the house and cleaned the inner metal part of the drain and found a leak in a ceiling on the first floor.. what should I look for..?
So after the Y connection can you continue one leg with more light sections ? I would be adding two or three more sections to one of the legs after the Y is installed .
Yes, but they will mirror the other leg.
What about if you have a switch like that, but the tab is already broken on the left side. How would you wire it then so the pilot light comes on when you flip the switch?
Same way as the first method, just add a pigtail to each screw and the line to the light.
Thank you. 🙏
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
I never use the outdoor keyboard to close the garage door. I always use the inside wall controller to close it! Also the Chamberlain wall control looks cheap and doesn't have a vacation lockout feature, which is important.
Thanks for the info
What would you do in a situation where you have an existing light fixture that you want to replace with a ceiling fan but the box that's currently in the ceiling is very loose with old wiring and will not support the weight of a fan? And you don't have attic access?

I wanna do this so bad but I need my own crib first 😭
That’s a start.
Total pain in the arse when you convert to smart switches and find that every other switch box is missing the neutral wire.
There are limited options for smart switches that do not require a neutral wire.
Can I run power to a Switch then to the wall run the same way you did the plugs?
Yes. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/5D4itWGtTVQ/видео.html
Could you put a gfi breaker in panel instead of gfi outlet ?
Yes indeed! Much more expensive though.
Nice Job,, THank you..
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
If everything is on the same circuit does it really matter if you connect the 2 black wires on the two brass screws or if you pigtail them and connect to a single screw? This is the only confusing part. Thank you.
Pigtailing is necessary when you have more wires than screws. Otherwise it’s optional.
Hello, What length do I strip the wire that will go around the screws on the receptacle?
Around 1/2-3/4”
Thanks for the explanation of different mounting box options, helpful for my project!
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
Dang, sold out
More on the way!
Thanks ... Very informative!!!
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
I use the Dolphin Premier. Yes, it's corded. That wasn't a deal breaker for me. It offers a filter option, (the bleated one) that gets the fine dirt. The bag filter option is great for fall leaves. The last one is worthless to me. Fine dirt will pass thru that one, as well as the cordless model top filter.
How do you clean the pleated filters? Have you had to replace them?
@handydadtv I take them out and hose them off after it's done running. I've had this unit for probably 6 years or so. I've had no issues yet with it. Our pool was never this clean when we used a Polaris with a boost pump.
Also, I bought the caddy that's for the robot. There's a cord holder to keep the cord from tangling. The caddy is on wheels to make it easy to move it around for storage.
@George-fb7fj How is the cord holding up? I have a 5-year-old Dolphin Triton and the rubber on the cord is funky.
@handydadtv it seems to be ok, for now. I put it in our salt pool once a week. Then store it in a plastic shed. For more context, I live in TX.
That's a beautiful pool and relaxation area dad!
Thanks 😊

I was at a funeral and I kept getting alerts about someone in the house. There was nobody here. I also have the blink camera by my kitchen window facing the front door and there wasn't anyone coming in the home. As you can imagine that's scary
Yeah very scary
Great vid, this exposes HA entities in Alexa. How about the opoposite of that? Is there a solution for that? I want plugs that are in Alexa to be exposed to HA to be controlled in HA automation. Is that possible without HACloud? Case in point, i have a bunch of these Linkind doggone plugs that cannot be integrated with Tuya/SmartLife, but instead only work with an app called AIDOT, and work perfectly in Alexa. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Not possible
great tutorial and very easy to follow. So much thank!
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
Is there a way to wire the switch outlet combo so the switch powers the outlet, plugging a water pump outside for my rain barrels, system would like to plug it in to the bottom outlet and be able to turn it on with the switch, I would get my power source from a existing outlet in the house on a exterior wall, please help, thank you
Yes. Watch this. ruclips.net/video/i_Dwokzgs8w/видео.html
Just moved into a house. Have an outlet next to a light switch. When the light switch is off, my outlet tester says the outlet beside it is wired correctly. When the light switch is on, it says hot and neutral reversed. What is my problem?
Not sure. Get a voltage meter and figure it out or call an electrician.
@@handydadtv Thanks for replying!
Came here for the car fixing advise, stayed for the dad jokes
Sadly I don’t have many
Watched several videos on this topic. This was the best one by far. Thank you.

Instructions unclear. My pinky is now fried.
Not funny
ummm no magnets came with mine
and no reflective blanket
You must not have used my link
Doing the good work Chris. Good Job.
Thanks 😊
Do the hinge and latch points rub on your skin? I am very sensitive to noticing things like that and I think overtime it might irritate me unless it’s really well machined and not noticeable.
Not at all. I love it and wear it all the time now.
my contractor put a box on a drywall, i think they call it an old style, he said the beams are unreachable, but will this hold a 20 pound chandelier? i am afraid it is gonna fall on our head one day
If you mean “old work box”, I wouldn’t hang anything heavier than a flush mount ceiling light.
We watched it on our local PBS station, but just 3 seasons and then it disappeared….hope your methods works for us!!! Well, crap…gotta use a VPN … I’m out, need to find another way 😢 I just downloaded the Peacock app and there is no option to sign up for free, it’s pay monthly/annually or nothing… so for me, nothing… thanks, Peecock…
Sorry
Why 5 way Waygos when it is only 3 wires for each color? would a 4 waygo work as well?
They don’t make 4 way.
I got a outlet that I want to put outside. I took out the receptacle inside and it got four wires going to it.
You need to use wire nuts to splice all the wires with your new wire, and pigtails going to the existing outlet.
do the instructions explain that if you are going to use the Ethernet connector, that the Emporia box should probably be kept outside the panel, since you aren't supposed to run Low Voltage and Line Voltage in the same enclosure, without a suitable separator of some kind? I'm not an electrician, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, last night, and this came up when I installed a gang box with both AC, Ethernet and coax (from different conduits, but into the same box).
Makes sense but I’m not sure.
Scotts and then milorganite works best for me.
They work well together.
Would not be good for a pool

@jimakcelik6486 I just installed a Chamberlain that was cheaper than a Genie.
Who else had their jaw drop when he said "The breaker is off so I am safe, but I have to be careful not to touch these plates as they are still live" and then spent the rest of the video cringing and waiting for a big flash bang moment. ( which would have got one hell of a lot of hits by the way but wouldn't have been nice ) 6:14
Yes it would have gone viral but it would have been my last video.
Just came across this video while I was trying to figure out why the same unit I have is no longer collecting water. Despite me cleaning the filter and doing all the maintenance as suggested in the owner's manual. I'm disappointed in GE. I paid almost $300 for this thing and it barely lasted 3 years. This country no longer builds quality products. It's all about profits, so cheap manufacturing overseas with cheap labor.

I know what does those 3 buttons you don’t know. The walking person means walk away delay. The next one is safe home. It keeps it safe when you are not home. The last one is natural breeze
Thanks
You are welcome!
This is a great video. I do have one question. In my case, I only have the 2 black wires in the box and nothing else. What do you recommend?
You have no neutral. Find another power source.
Why can’t you just use 14/2 for that’s… it’s not a three way switch szoo what the point
Why do I need a neutral in every switchbox? ruclips.net/video/yoYf4ctZToA/видео.html
simple tutorial! 👏Thank you
My pleasure!
so if water submerges the lightbulb outlet, nothing bad will happen to that lightbulb outlet?
No, that’s wrong. The outlet is not made to be submerged and it’ll ruin the electronics for sure.
@@handydadtv Thank you, okay but let's say a toaster is connected to the lightbulb outlet and it is dropped in a tub of water, would the first gfci outlet trip and disable the lightbulb/toaster outlet from shocking people in the tub?
@gotwrekt Yes
Thanks for the explanation. It is always good to learn from someone’s mistake.
