Hotel Arctic’s igloos in northern Greenland give guests a front row seat to a steady stream of massive icebergs.

Once it’s in place, the Lyric T6 connects to your home network via built-in Wi-Fi, and is configured entirely from the smartphone app. To get started, you simply need to configure its three heating modes – Home, Away and Sleep – and set up multi-user geofencing, so the Lyric can automatically detect when no one’s home and shut off the heating. If you prefer, you can create a custom heating schedule you can, but annoyingly this disables geolocation.

Crestron was one of the first professional smart home manufacturers to support Amazon Alexa, although Amazon’s voice assistant is still yet to launch in the UK. Despite that, the company couldn’t confirm whether Google Home support is on its roadmap.

This patented manifold drainage system reduces the need for traditional wider grating. It is composed of a PVC channel with outlets every 200 mm connected via downpipes to corresponding sockets in the pipe below. This allows the channel to be installed level while the pipe is given sufficient fall to be self-cleaning. The system is then completed with a stylish Slimline stainless steel grate, available in 38 mm or 65 mm widths in wedge-wire or, for a more budget-conscious option, a punched hole or slotted version.

Serviceability features: When connected to an Ion system control or Observer communicating control, system information is displayed on a touchscreen. The system self-configures for optimal performance. Features large, one-quarter-turn knobs for easy door installation/removal. Bright LED makes diagnostic flash codes easier to read. Blower assembly is mounted on rails for easy, upfront installation/removal.

If you’ve ever lived in a building with manually controlled central heating, you’ll probably understand [Martin]’s motivation for this hack. These heating systems often have old fashioned valves to control the radiator. No Nest support, no thermostat, just a knob you turn.

While most Alaska visitors arrive in summer, Borealis Basecamp, tucked into a hundred private acres of black spruce and birch forest 25 miles north of Fairbanks, makes a solid case for a wintery foray. Ten domes, each with 16-foot-long, clear viewing roofs, provide a cozy hideaway and optimal viewing for the nearly nightly sky parade of the aurora borealis. The fiberglass habitats resemble those used by polar researchers, but feature heated interiors, private bathrooms and porches, and locally-sourced birch countertops and European-style interior design. Take an aurora photography seminar or dog sled excursion before tucking into a King Crab dinner in the dining yurt with views of the distant Wickersham Dome and the snowy White Mountains.
