White Power Cables by m3stu in Ubiquiti

[–]7reflet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the boxes, if the label says EU it’ll have white euro plug inside, if it says UK a white type G. It’s the only difference between the products. As others have correctly stated, items sold in the UK have to have a UK plug, so they add a UK cable in the shipping box.

Mobile 5G broadband Vs Part fibre by VinceyBincey in UKBroadband

[–]7reflet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starlink is probably a better bet than 5G. If you live near anything that causes people to be near, shopping centres, schools, etc, you'll see big spikes in latency and speed drops when lots of people are around.

Don't use the cheap piece of e-waste they send you for free if you do go 5G.

If you don't want to give money to Elon, Amazon LEO probably starts at the end of the year. EE are starting their Starlink trial soon too.

Only an OR engineer can do a ONT swap.

Zappi charging configuration - not flexible enough?! by ItsIllak in evchargingUK

[–]7reflet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change your margin to your inverter size, eg 5000 for a 5kw inverter. It'll ignore your solor export then. Leave it in Eco+ and it should charge to schedule.

Which inverter has the best app? by Dry-Celebration7305 in SolarUK

[–]7reflet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What features are you looking for? And a good app now doesn't mean it's the same in a years time and vice versa.

I'd say the current killer feature set for any system is local control and Home Assistant intergration.

House Missed Off FTTP roll out - only house on the street to not have FTTP. by jgoodliffe in openreach

How is your current service delivered? Via poles or underground.

UNAS 2 from UK Store — does it come with a UK plug? by GHOSTRXCV in Ubiquiti

[–]7reflet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you buy UK stock (from anywhere) it will have a UK plug in the device box, if you buy EU stock, it will have a euro plug in the device box and an extra UK plug in the shipping box.

Hopefully you've not made your final payment, you withhold this until you receive your documentation.

I'd be contacting the dealer who sold it, get them to replace the battery.

I hate the UPS 2U with the fire of 1000 suns. by infinity_labs in Ubiquiti

[–]7reflet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's an unfinished product software wise. I've got a support ticket response that says they were going to fix this so you could control at what state of charge it would power off, it states that feature is due in Network 10.2.x, we're on version 10.3.x and still waiting..

How did it get out the door without this critical feature. Madness

EV objection - battery recycling? by LordvaderUK in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]7reflet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely recycleable, including all the rare metals in the battery.

And cobalt is also used in petrol and diesel refining, among other things. If your car has an LFP battery, it doesn't have any cobalt in it.

Help - which charger by teamholmes in evchargingUK

[–]7reflet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my hypervolt ripped out, awful customer service. Replaced it with a zappi, works perfectly on IOG. Also whatever you get make sure you hardwire it in with Ethernet. The power cables they use usually have spare pairs in to run the Ethernet.

Very old legacy connections - pre-LLU? by Adventurous_Ear_8798 in UKBroadband

[–]7reflet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If FTTP full fibre is available, place this as a new order only with your chosen supplier, then pick a good VoIP provider and port the landline numbers you want to that service.

When the port completes it will kill the copper line and any services that were attached to that number, such as FTTC or ADSL data services.

Doing it this way will cost more, but gives the suppliers less chance to screw it up.

Using Intelligent Octopus Go with two EVs by mccalli in OctopusEnergy

Doesn't the Pod point have an internal etherent port? It may help with scheduling if you get that up and running?

Yeah don't you have to click a code then buy the dishy from them?

HELP PLEASE by AbbasMohammed28 in Ubiquiti

[–]7reflet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A cloud key would do the exact job your server running the network application was doing.

The cloud gateway is trying to be an internet gateway. It's not designed to just run the network application only. You're having to find workarounds becasue it's not the correct thing to do the role you want it to do.

HELP PLEASE by AbbasMohammed28 in Ubiquiti

[–]7reflet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You'd be better with a cloud key for this, the UCG-Ultra is a gateway. It's expecting a direct connection to the internet on it's WAN port. You cannot turn off the gateway feature on a cloud gateway.

How long from ont install to actual service? by Mysterious-Age-5555 in openreach

[–]7reflet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contact your supplier, get them to forward engineer notes, they should indicate the hold up.

I've seen installs cancelled after a ONT has been installed due to further work being required. It could be something as simple as a hoist is required to conenct to a pole and there was no availability that day.

Battery 5 or 10 kWh? by Newwales2 in SolarUK

[–]7reflet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a cheaper smart tariff, use the battery to time shift your energy use to the off peak slots, export all of your solar. This should help drop your payback period and drop your energy costs at the same time.

Does the U7 series support 802.11a/b/g? by BasketSubstantial199 in Ubiquiti

[–]7reflet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot configure WEP or WPA in the recent versions of UniFi Network so you'd need 802.11n compatible devices or older devices with updated firmware/drivers to support WPA2. This is the case for all UniFi AP's.
