General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Most modern boilers can be activated by a simple relay (it's how the thermostat calls for heat).
A basic switch plumbed into hass can be set up as a thermostat entity, that isn't too horrible to use.
And you can add a physical thermostat capable of sending values locally to hass if people want to be able to spin a dial on the wall.
To be honest, I do a lot of my automation invisibly: The target temperature is automated, the only physical button is a "30 minutes heat" one I installed.
