Hi all. I have an HDHR up and running off a PoE adaptor thanks to some previous threads here.
I'm trying out a new Televes antenna with an onboard amplifier that appears to take 12V over coax from its own AC adaptor. Since I've already got a PoE switch onsite with some excess capacity, I'm wondering if I can take 12V PoE and adapt it to 12V over coax for the antenna without running AC power. It seems like something like this could be adapted, assuming 12V-over-coax is standardized?
Hi all. I have several Mitsubishi mini-split units with wi-fi interfaces (PAC-USWHS002-WF-2) attached. One of them lost its connection (which happens occasionally), but when I went to reconnect it, I couldn't get the wi-fi interface into pairing mode.
I held down the Bluetooth button for 10+ seconds, and also tried to reset, but it doesn't seem to respond to either physical button. Meanwhile, its green Power LED is on, but it isn't responsive or connected to the network. Is there an uber-reset procedure I could try? Thanks.
Hi all…we just had our panels migrated to Enphase microinverters, and the installer added a SunPower PVS6 monitor. We plugged it into our network via Ethernet, but the unit is still broadcasting its own Wi-Fi network ("SunPowerXXXXX"). It's stomping on my regular 2.4Ghz network…does anyone know how to turn this off?
Also, (and perhaps related), does this unit have a web UI? I have its IP address, but can't seem to connect to it from the LAN. Thanks…
Hi all…
I'm in a situation where we have single-zone, boiler-driven radiant heat, paired with several Mitsubishi mini-split air conditioners. I think I have an idea of how to build this out, but would appreciate a sanity check…I'd have to scrounge these bits on eBay or amazon.co.uk, so returns might not be an option.
Ideally, I'd use a wireless thermostat hooked back to the boiler to activate the radiant as appropriate (its existing thermostat is wired, but I'd like to relocate it and wireless is easier). Meanwhile, it looks like I need a Smart AC Control for each AC unit.
I expect that those Smart AC Controls can control each room independently, but collectively k
Hi all. I have two separate devices, each connecting to the same 2.4Ghz-only IoT SSID, which are cycling every few seconds between a proper network address and a 169.254.x.x APIPA address. I've tried assigning them fixed IPs, and the behavior persists using the fixed IP.
I would understand if they got an AIPIA all the time (DHCP issue), but has anyone encountered this sort of bouncing? Some particulars:
Hi all. I got my Deebot T8 home this weekend and followed it around the house while it built its first map. It appeared to finish after 90 minutes, and went to return to its dock. It got right in front of it, stared it down, and then spun around and wandered around the room for a while before giving up and asking it to be placed on the dock. Since it couldn't dock itself, the map was useless.
I tried again, and failed similarly. :(
Given the T8's generally awesome reviews, I imagine there's something off with my particular unit or configuration. Is there anything I should know about its dock-finding tech that I might be inadvertently interfering with? I'm guessing it uses some combinatio
So…I'm dealing with a mid-century room that's 15Wx35L, with parallel dual-pane glass side walls, a cork-covered concrete floor, with no opportunity for treatment beyond the existing furniture and rug. I've been able to tune things reasonably well (at least for the MLP) through a combination of speaker placement, minDSP'd subwoofers and Dirac Live. But recently I've been thinking that my (highly directional) speakers aren't a particularly good match for the space.
While quarantine shopping, I stumbled across the Ohm Walsh series. From what I've read, they're quirky but surprisingly good…but most imp
So I've been fortunate to have an Early Access UDM-Pro (October 2019), and I'm trying to track down a document/thread/etc. that lists the best way to bring it out of beta to match the shipping configuration, and sync with shipping firmware updates moving forward. It appears that upgdrading to the new UniFi OS will do it, but I could use a sanity check. Has anyone done this? And out of curiousity, are the "Coming Soon" items finally enabled?
Also curious whether anyone has confirmed whether there were significant running changes to the UDM-Pro hardware between October and today.
Hi all,
I have a small residential setup (2 Switch-8s, 2 AP-HD-IWs, 1 nanoHD), and I've just upgraded my USG-3 to a USG-PRO-4. I've updated its firmware to the latest version.
I have a gigabit AT&T fiber connection, and have been playing with IPS. I know Ubiquiti says my config is limited to 250Mbps, but anecdotal reports have hinted that it can hit ~650Mbps. In my tests (from a wired client to speedtest.net), I get about 930Mbps with IPS off, and 330Mbps with IPS on (in its default configuration).
I expected IPS to slow things down, but I don't quite understand why there's such a range using similar equipmen
I just picked up a NAD T777v3, which shares its VM300 HDMI board with the M17, T187, and others. I've been seeing some HDMI weirdness, and this was discussed briefly in the recent Audioholics M17 review. So now I'm trying to figure out whether my issues are just NAD quirks (with which I'm unfortunately somewhat familiar) or if my particular box is broken.
Specifically, I'm seeing weird CEC responses (goes into standby when told, but then turns on again, then finally goes off for good), some handshaking problems with TiVo Bolt and Apple TV 4K, and occasional video glitches when piping 4K content. Cables are all 48Gbps Belki
Hi all…set up a new UniFi residential system, and the way things worked out I have an In-wall HD unit that's getting its PoE from a downstream switch, while getting its uplink via one of its external switch ports, like so:
WAN > USG > Switch 8 > (in via switch port) IW-HD (out via PoE port) > Switch 8 60W -> CloudKey
Theoretically, this order shouldn't make a difference, but the controller doesn't have much per-port detail for the In-wall's switch, and this setup appears to confuse the Topology map…so it's difficult to confirm my intuition.
Practically speaking, things appear to be mostly working, but I'm having trouble with my VLANs getting DHCP and WAN and I'm wond
Hi all,
I have an eero mesh running in the house, but I have a need to split my network to isolate IP cameras. It looks like I can put a USG upstream to do the routing and have the eeros in bridge mode…I'll lose some of the eero's special features, but the USG appears to have equivalent functionality for what I really need.
My question, though, is how much of the fancypants status/monitoring/control I would get in this configuration…I'm not sure how much of the fancy is dependent upon Ubiquiti equipment all the way down. For example, will I still get per-client throughput? The ability to group individual clients? Per-client deep-packet voodoo? Charts and graphs and infoporn? Thanks for any
We have a small pool that's limping along on a Pentair SolarTouch that controls a Pentair variable-speed pump, booster, cleaner, and Intellibrite light. I'm a smart home geek, and the pool is lagging far behind the rest of the house's systems.
I'd like to automate things to the point that the system:
Hi all…I'm the administrator of my MIL's estate, and we're trying to determine whether we need to file a 1041.
She was employed at the time of her death, and she died in 2015 three days before she received her final paycheck in the mail (for work performed before her death). I've since filed her 2015 taxes, and her W-2 (and, by extension, 1040) included this final paycheck.
As I understand it, we won't need to file a 2016 1041 for her estate if it doesn't receive more than a $600 exemption. The paycheck was for about $1,100, and is the only income received after her death.
Can I leave things as they are, with the final paycheck accounted for in her 2015 1040 (which means we don't need t
