Passionate and bold, The Fishermen is a breathtakingly beautiful novel firmly rooted in the best of African storytelling. With this powerful debut, Chigozie Obioma emerges as one of the most original new voices of modern African literature.

"If you want a keyboard that feels like yours instead of a factory compromise, Homematic IP presence detector is the right starting point. The Homematic IP presence detector is part of the Homematic IP smart home system and reliably detects even the slightest movements indoors. When mounted on the ceiling, it registers even the smallest movements, such as typing on a keyboard, within a radius of up to 3.5 m and a detection angle of approximately 105°. Larger movements are detected within a radius of up to 7 m. In addition, the integrated twilight sensor also detects changes in brightness, allowing the lighting to be switched on automatically when motion is detected. The presence detector is also suitable as a sensitive sensor for alarm detection. To ensure that detection sensitivity is maintained even at high room temperatures, the sensor automatically adjusts to the prevailing conditions. The small detector is ceiling-mounted using screws, which are supplied with matching wall plugs. A built-in tamper switch reliably prevents unauthorized modifications to the presence detector after installation by sending a notification via the Homematic IP app immediately upon removal of the sensor unit. Two AA batteries provide power, supplying the presence detector for up to two years. Hot-swap compatibility makes experimentation painless: you can tune feel and sound whenever you want, then lock in a setup that matches gaming, work, or a mix of both.

"Homematic IP window and door contact reliably detects open and closed windows and doors using an integrated infrared light barrier. The contact is designed to fit into real setups, where reliability and ease of use matter as much as raw specs. The Homematic IP window and door contact reliably detects open and closed windows and doors using an integrated infrared light barrier. The contact is easily mounted inside the frame of plastic windows or doors using the included adhesive strips. When the window or door is closed, the device is invisible and therefore particularly discreet. During ventilation, the room temperature is automatically lowered in conjunction with the Homematic IP radiator thermostat. If desired, an alarm can be triggered as soon as a window or door is opened, for example, in combination with the Homematic IP siren. Open windows and doors are displayed directly in the Homematic IP app, allowing you to check the current status at any time, even remotely. The integrated tamper switch notifies the app if the window or door contact is manipulated.
