Fogstar Drift is the companion app for Fogstar Drift lithium (LiFePO4) leisure batteries. It connects to your battery over Bluetooth and shows you exactly what it's doing – at a glance on the dashboard, in detail down to each cell, and over time in History. LIVE DASHBOARD • State of charge, voltage, current and power • Remaining capacity, cycle count and temperatures • Whether the battery is charging, discharging or resting CELLS • Every cell's voltage, the spread between highest and lowest, and when the BMS is balancing • A cell drifting out of balance is the earliest warning you get – long before the battery lets you down HISTORY • Readings recorded automatically while you're connected • Charts of charge, voltage, current and temperature over hours, days or months • Up to 90 days kept on the phone; export it all to CSV ALERTS • Low charge, high or low temperature, winter guard and protection trips • Set your own thresholds and quiet hours, so nothing wakes you at 3am MORE • Multiple batteries and battery banks in one app – see the whole system totalled, or drill into any single pack • Tools for real installs: battery recovery for a pack that won't wake, connection diagnostics and a timestamped event log • Report a problem in one tap – the app sends Fogstar a full diagnostic bundle with a reference number, so we can help without the back-and-forth PRIVACY No ads, no tracking. Everyday monitoring is Bluetooth only – your battery's data never leaves your phone unless you send a support report. Cloud features run on Amazon Web Services in Europe. Works with Fogstar Drift batteries fitted with the Bluetooth module. If anything isn't right, use Report a problem in Settings and we'll take a look.

NottsBinApp tells you which bin goes out and when, for every Nottinghamshire council — Mansfield, Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Rushcliffe, Newark & Sherwood, Nottingham City and Gedling. Enter a postcode, pick your address and see your collection days for recycling, general waste and garden waste at a glance. Features • Collection schedules covering every Nottinghamshire council area • Optional reminder notifications the day before collection • Next-day weather so you know if it's a rainy bin day • Handy bin guide for what goes in each bin • Report a missing bin or a collection problem right from the app • Works for the whole of Nottinghamshire, not just one town Data sources: NottsBinApp shows bin collection schedules published by each Nottinghamshire council. The exact source for each area is that council's official bin-collection system: • Mansfield District Council — https://www.mansfield.gov.uk/bindays • Ashfield District Council — https://www.ashfield.gov.uk/waste-and-recycling/bin-collection-calendar/ • Broxtowe Borough Council — https://www.broxtowe.gov.uk/for-you/waste-and-recycling/ • Bassetlaw District Council — https://www.bassetlaw.gov.uk/bins-recycling-and-waste/bins-for-recycling-and-waste/ • Newark & Sherwood District Council — https://app.newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk/bincollection/ • Nottingham City Council — https://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/binreminders/ • Gedling Borough Council — https://waste.digital.gedling.gov.uk/w/webpage/bin-collections • Rushcliffe Borough Council — https://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/recycling-and-waste/waste-collection/find-my-bin-day/ Some councils publish their collection data through the Recollect waste platform (https://api.eu.recollect.net). Weather information is from Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com). Privacy and data: NottsBinApp is built to respect your privacy. For looking up your schedule it sends only your postcode and address. The optional "Report an issue" form also collects your name and email so we can follow up with your council. There is no account to create, no advertising, no tracking, and the app never collects your precise device location (GPS). Full privacy policy: https://nottinghamshire-bins.web.app/privacy Important: NottsBinApp is an independent utility and is not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by any local council or government body. Collection information is sourced from councils' published schedules and may change without notice; it is provided for convenience only — always confirm against your council's official communications.
