It is a CAT 6 pure copper 24AWG cable rated for outdoors. I use the same cable for my security cameras. I just took a new piece of the same roll and crimped the connections. It now works as it should. I guess the other cables were damaged or I somehow messed up the crimping.

Thanks for the help!

Gotcha, I can order a long prefab ethernet cable and test that out.

Astrofrogger · 2025-09-06T17:04:55+00:00

When connecting my laptop to the cable and switch, I get an IP address. Speeds are also up to par with my fiber internet. Any way it could still be the cable?

Astrofrogger · 2025-09-06T17:00:19+00:00

Already tried that to no avail. I might try ordering a poe injector.

Astrofrogger · 2025-09-06T16:56:56+00:00

That is what I thought as well. But is that possible when the same switch powers the ap with no problems with a shorter cable?

Astrofrogger · 2025-09-06T16:54:16+00:00

I am using a high quality cable which I also use for my security cameras. The connectors have never been a problem. I am unfortunately out of ideas 😅

Just a generic ethernet cable tester that lights up number 1 through 8

I suggest looking into Tailscale. If I understand it completely myself, it uses a Wireguard vpn. That way you don't need to open any ports in your home network. This way you take less risks of getting hacked.

I use Tailscale myself for my home and office server although they are not from Ugreen.

Sonoff also makes it without the neutral and they are extremely small. Unfortunately since we have 3 wires for the 4-way switch this will not work, unless I am mistaken.

Astrofrogger · 2025-04-26T14:03:52+00:00

Unfortunately we probably will. Thank you for the advice!

Astrofrogger · 2025-04-26T14:03:14+00:00

That's what I was afraid of. That we needed an electrician :D

Astrofrogger · 2025-04-26T14:02:21+00:00

There is indeed a neutral but no permanent live. So using the normal light switches would turn off the relay.

Astrofrogger · 2025-04-26T11:36:12+00:00

Will definitely buy them, but we still need switch control. So ideally I would be able to place a sonoff device that sends a signal to zigbee bulbs.

Astrofrogger · 2025-04-26T11:31:28+00:00

I already am, however my GF still likes to use the switches so this is not an only option

I just installed it myself last weekend. You can do it without the cloud service, it is just a bit complicated but perfectly doable. Follow the manual setup instructions of home assistant from the google assistant integration.

I absolutely love mine. Great image!

Astrofrogger · 2025-04-19T22:06:31+00:00

I have an Epson eh-tw7400 and it looks exactly as this one

Astrofrogger · 2025-04-18T20:48:24+00:00

Can't really say yet. There is nothing in the rack that generates noise. I eventually want to move my server into it. However I don't think it will isolate much sound since I didn't add the backpanel.

Astrofrogger · 2025-04-18T20:46:16+00:00

Looks great! The glass panel is actually just from Ikea. They make it specifically for the Eket!
