I just went through this battle and ended up ordering a set of sensereo MS-1 (matter over thread and home assistant ready) to replace the battery-only detectors in our basement. Our main floor is nest protect hard-wired.

While this product isn’t UL certified, it is EN certified and the functional difference seems to be 85db at 3m vs 10ft. And their website says they’re working on a UL certified model.

They do have a hard-wired interlink model too: https://sensereo.com/ms-1-interlink/ but that’s smoke only. And again EN certified but not UL.

But at least it’s an alternative to the x-sense products.

The reviews of the official replacement (FA SC-5) are mixed to awful.

Cousin had a 1.5h hellfire and brimstone service with an altar call in an unairconditioned church on a weekday afternoon on the Midwest prairie on a hot August day 120 miles (~192km) away from my house.

Weak perkolator coffee, grocery store sheet cake, and bite-size sandwiches (limit 2) served in the basement afterwards.

We were asked to clean up after ourselves and break down the tables and chairs after 30 min. Church doors were locked and we were ushered out after another 30min.

Last cousin wedding I went to.

Consider adding rice hulls to the mash!

I’ve found it helps immensely with preventing a stuck mash/sparge.

2 ten-packs would be a real score.

If you want to blend some French in there: À la board.

I know their tools pretty well and own a few, but I had no idea they were way out here!

Had no idea vevor was making brewing equipment! I really need to get back to it. My 15 gallon spike solo setup is languishing in the garage.

Don’t forget the mandatory quarterly drug testing at the shittiest understaffed LabCorp “branch” at least 45 minutes from both work and home.

Totally hazarding a guess here (cunninghams law?), but the 3rd panel of four is typically the end of the story/action with the 4th being the resolution of or reflection on the drama.

Can confirm.

Looks like £85 for the cheapest 2 coin set delivered internationally. £29.95 + £12.50 international shipping per coin (and it’s a set of 2).

It’s neat and all, but I’m gonna have to pass at that price.

In general, no, you’re not crazy for considering active speakers. In fact, most desktop PC orientated speakers are active.

I think your specific selection is a bit suspect for nearfield audio and definitely for full spectrum listening (the 80hz bottom end of the frequency range will leave you looking for bass if you care at all).

To extrapolate on your metaphor, this is more like buying a farm tractor as a commuter vehicle. Sure it has wheels, an engine, and a steering wheel, but it isn’t exactly intended for on road use.

I went with active studio monitors for my desktop PC (Adam Audio T5V and a matching subwoofer) after fighting with interference from various other electronics and the mini amp I was using.

These are amazing speakers, but also quite large. They have standby mode and both xlr and rca inputs. They are wild overkill for what I do with them, but it made me happy.

I would consider their desktop system if I were to do it again to save some space. https://www.adam-audio.com/en/desktop/d3v/

There are dozens of other even cheaper options with great reviews that similarly fit your needs.
