    Brilliant @Jamesnorthway 

    Excuse me whilst I just deal with a @Blastoise186 :face_palm_tone1:

    Access can indeed be granted, but first you must cross my palm with silver and reveal the truth that is the secret password. The question that reveals the password is… Who is the moderator who last posted in this thread?

    With one truth, you may pass… :wink:

    With two you may know more… :sunglasses:

    Three, commands me… :smile:

     

    :joy:

     

    I was going to see if @Jamesnorthway got this, but then 

     

    Let’s tag @Tim_OVO and get you in the Treehouse with the rest of us.

     

    Spoiler alert! 

     

    James I’ve given you access when I first saw your comment, I’ve now tagged you in a topic in the private area. Use the email notification to navigate to it, or see the ‘Smart Home Trials’ area here.

        Welcome @SallyP !

        @Tim_OVO has already gone home for the night and I don’t have the ability to grant you access myself. But I’ll make sure to let him know that you’re waiting. In the meantime, please feel free to explore the rest of the community. We’ll be here if you need a hand!

          Hi @SallyP and I hope to meet you in the Smart Home Treehouse tomorrow :slight_smile:

          There’s been quite a lot of discussion between other Trialists about the need to have their homes well insulated and draught-free, whilst still retaining adequate ventilation. As a result I posted some ideas about ventilation strategies.

          That subject has now been expanded on further in a separate Topic here on the main [color=#3b6889]F[/color][color=#298070]o[/color][color=#138b55]r[/color][color=#339931]u[/color][color=#54a03a]m[/color] called Ventilation in your home.

          So that’s something you can see tonight until Tim opens the Treehouse for you in the morning.

            Welcome @JMB !

            I’m Blastoise186, one of the forum volunteers. While I don’t have moderator rights, I do have the power to summon someone who does.

            I’ve sent up a flare to ask @Tim_OVO to get you set up. Once you’re able to access the private area, you’ll see a new category appear on the homepage.

            You’ll also be able to access it via https://forum.ovoenergy.com/smart-home-trials-146 .

            In the meantime, please feel free to explore the forums and see what else we have to offer. :)
