Thank you for the info, this is a steep learning curve for me.You must not connect the 5v on any of your DIY cables or your very likely kill your devices.
You can only use the 5v on an Isolated USB to TTL UART FTDI like this.

Just a quick update.
The Ruuvi temp tags arrived today so I set about adding them into the system. All was good but as I suspected may happen the software forcing the Pi to search for the BT Fogstar connection kept rebooting and I then lost the three temp sensors. Turning BT off and on reset it but it timed out within 5 mins repeatedly and then it lost the Ruuvi connections.
Done a fresh download of Venus onto the Pi without the Fogstar "hack" and all the sensors now work fine. Obviously lost the Fogstar info but I can live without that on the Pi and log in on the App for the info.
Oh well..never mind eh ;-)

Where did you source the Ruuvi tag?

Amazon sadly.
I needed at least three and they were the cheapest by about 6 quid each. I despise buying off Amazon but sometimes needs must.
Yes, Amazon is the cheapest source I have found. Luckily I only need one - for the Fridge!
