After recently introducing a large series of new outdoor lighting products to coincide with summer (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), Philip Hue have also introduced new Hue White and Colour Outdoor lightstrips. These lightstrips come in 2 metre and 5 metre versions and are designed specifically for outdoor use, being ‘completely weatherproof’ according to the meethue website, which goes on to state "The LightStrip can withstand small puddles and water jets from any direction, so do not worry if rain is unexpectedly predicted." The strips, unlike their indoor counterparts, don’t have an adhesive backing, but rather use a series of provided clips and screws, to attach to a wall or fence.

Fortunately, the other two members of the gang do have some brains. The Honeywell Voice Controlled Thermostat has the ability to adapt to your accent so that it can better respond to your wishes, and there’s no part of Nest that can do anything with audio like this for the time being. That may be crucial for some use cases.

As we have a combi boiler, we went with the single-channel kit. This ships with the neat relay, plus a wireless thermostat and two radiator valves. The Room Thermostat is a small square box with an LCD panel, decked out in white plastic. It’s fairly unobtrusive, so you can place it anywhere without it dominating a room.

People choose steel or cast iron because of the look and cost. The choice of metal has no impact on the stove’s performance.
