@noodle @decryption @voltagex not only that but some do transparent band-shuffling and client-sorting, thus move them into dedicaded bands according to their capabilities, as to not throttle down the entire wifi just so a #Pi0W can keep up, instead rmdelegating narrowband & embedded devices onto narrowband channels based off their MAC address.

  • So it's all transparent to any client and the AP does the heavy lifting.

Still the original argument is valid: People would be better off buying a cheaper #UniFi setup and having proper cabling installed instead.

Hardwire anything important. Especially security systems and cameras. Yes it’s a pain. But it’s worth it. Unifi isn’t perfect. But it’s surprisingly good, and keeps getting better. And the prices are fair.

BONUS: If/when that ecosystem goes to hell, the cable is run for whatever’s next.

Mastodon 🐘McNadoMD (@mcnado@mstdn.social)Apparently ICE is jamming wifi when coming to door knock, which knocks out many video feeds like Ring doorbells and Simplisafe cameras. You don’t need to hide shit as a federal agent unless what you are doing is reprehensible and illegal.

My blog post documenting my attempts to get #Unifi #CCTV working on a #raspberrypi has just gone live. It's a bit of a read but I'm hoping it might help folks that are looking to do something similar given a lot of the online documentation and forums appear to be old and with out of date info.

So I've made some improvements, reducing the streams from 1080p to 360p seems to help a lot in terms of it not massively lagging but the quality of the stream is still pretty bad and the latency is terrible even on "Low latency mode". I think I'm going to have to go back to the original plan which was to try to get it to work in-browser using the #Unifi native viewer in the web browser which is a lot less ideal and a lot less streamlined but the feeds are already lagging 15 seconds behind and dropping and I can no longer see an obvious bottle neck on the pi's side...

Hi Internet!

Are you like me, and have a big dumb contrived unifi network at home?

has the controller ever shit the bed on you, or have you ever lost your controller? I was running mine in docker on a syno array, which had btrfs issues and the partition 'crashed'. so no more controller.

so i took an aluminum bat to chatgpt for several hours yesterday in addition to a bunch of manual editing and came up with this: a unifi probe shellscript

So looking at my home networking, I've got three main options

1. Keep opnsense as the router, possibly even keep the switch but add a 2.5gb switch
2. Go crawling back to unifi (less likely, $$$)
3. Swap the core out with Microtik, including router and core switches

The third option is really interesting to me, but I've heard people talk about limitations that they've encountered with Microtik so I'm really curious how people feel about them and what those limitations were

I got my remote security rig assembled and configured. Kill-a-watt confirms 25-30 watts. I ran it for a day to check kWh measurement against real time and it checked out.

So yesterday I fully charged the EcoFlow, plugged the "rig" into that, and pulled the AC plug. The readout suggested a 22 hour runtime. That's less than the 33 I calculated, but there's overhead and waste associated with DC to AC to DC, plus heat and cooling fans.

Anyway it ran for 20.5 hours before I plugged it back in. Still had 13% battery and ~3 hours runtime. Very positive test, I'm pleased w/ the results.

I’m not sure if anyone cares, but my remote “security rig” is very cool. It consists of a CloudKey+ w/ SSD, a Flex Switch + utility powerbox, Verizon home 5G router, and two G5 turret ultras. All in draw is 25-30 watts. If powered by my 1kW EcoFlow Delta, that’s 33 hours, with zero solar input. I’m happy with how it turned out. #ubiquiti #unifi #unifiprotect

We’re going to be unexpectedly moving across town soonish. (Not bad, not good. But an upgrade) So I bought a bunch of stuff I had planned to buy anyway to secure whatever temporary structure we eventually put on our land. But instead it’s going to the other place to monitor during renovations. Ubiquiti and a $30/month Verizon 5G gateway, FTW. #Unifi #UI #Ubiquiti

A map UniFi calls topology. It shows which devices are connected to which. In this case, I have a UniFi flex five port switch connected to a cloud key+ and two G5 turrets. The other two ports are data and POE++ injection.

The latest version of the #Ubiquiti #UniFi mobile app has some UI tweaks. Overall things seem a bit more compact so you can see more rows at once. But most notably, it brings the color coding in sync with the web interface. Anything in the -60 range used to be orange, but now it’s green up to -75. Probably a good move since you rarely do much better than -60 on 6GHz unless you’re like ten feet from the AP.

Three new gateway devices from #Ubiquiti #UniFi today!
- Cloud Gateway Fiber <store.ui.com/us/en/category/cl>
- UniFi Express 7 <store.ui.com/us/en/products/ux7>
- Dream Router 7 <store.ui.com/us/en/products/ud>
The Express and Dream Router are upgraded to Wi-Fi 7 and all three have multi-gig WAN and LAN. Looks like there some solid options for pretty much anyone who's using a desktop / non-racked UniFi router.

This morning the robins were so loud and in sync that Unifi protect thought it heard a carbon monoxide alarm, and pushed emergency alert.

We have CO detectors, so I was concerned. You can imagine my relief and delight to review the recording and find happy birds instead of an actual emergency.

Following up on this old toot. We ended up getting a G4 Instant and adding it to our Ubiquiti system. I’m powering it with a USB power bank and unplugging when not needed. It has two-way audio and I’m more inclined to trust Unifi than some rando baby monitor that is unlikely to get regular security updates.

Bonus: I like that the camera has other uses for when a monitor isn’t needed. Like spying on the dogs, or chickens.

I wrote a little bit about the install of the UniFi G5 Turret Ultra on my blog. Not much that I didn’t already say here.

໒(⊙ᴗ⊙)७✎▤ Battey Me · Installing UniFi G5 Turret UltraToday I installed the UniFi G5 Turret Ultra. My partner purchased it for me during the holidays, but I have not had the time to install it until now. Overall the installation process wasn’t too difficult—the hardest part was deciding which type of conduit to use for the exterior of the home. Ultimately, I decided to go with PVC because I did not have the tools needed to work with metal conduit—I would have needed a pipe threader, cutter, and probably a chain vise (though this last one is probably rentable.) Once I got all of the materials, and a new drill bit to drill into the crawl space, I headed home to start the install.
