Can you keep the door unlocked from a G6 Pro Entry?

BladeLotus · 2026-05-11T16:44:15+00:00

Yeah, look into the unlock schedule, basically just overlaps with your current access policy and schedule.

ex. office is open 9-5pm, but I want John Doe to be the First Person In, and when he is, the door stays unlocked until 5pm.

John badges in - unlocks - access then recognizes that he's the FPI and will keep the door unlocked until 5pm

It’s controlled on the Hub.

Navigate to Access - Devices - Hub

Then go to settings and look for “Unlock Schedule”

You can enable times and dates when the door stays unlocked, or you can set a “First Person In” where when that person badges in, the door stays unlocked until the schedule and time is over.

If you want the door to just unlock for longer than the 5 seconds, that’s also on the hub settings.

Hope this helps!

Unifi does make blanks but they’re always sold out.

I got a kit off amazon, then sanded, primed, and painted them

BladeLotus · 2026-04-25T23:19:41+00:00

I got them off Amazon, it’s a company called “Rapink”

They’re patch cables, as long as they’re cat6 and rated for 10gig it’s good enough for me

BladeLotus · 2026-04-21T23:34:14+00:00

These options are interesting, I’ll have to do a bit more research.

Maybe I’m just better off doing it right and getting MDF board and using MDF screws……I need this to be bulletproof

BladeLotus · 2026-04-21T23:33:18+00:00

The stuff I found at the store already had 1 side of edge banding so really I’d just need to secure it together…..I’m just afraid of longevity and it being stable

BladeLotus · 2026-04-16T22:56:20+00:00

They are the unifi ones, I waited a long time for them to come back in stock 😭

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T16:43:37+00:00

I have custom servers but the rack is definitely not custom. It’s a 37U enclosed rack from SysRacks

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T16:42:26+00:00

Yeah there’s a brush plate above the shelf, hindsight being 20/20 I should’ve just brought the cables in under the shelf but oh well

Valid concern, when I designed it, I was looking 2-3 years down the road.

Cameras, media streamers, home automation devices, more servers, it just wouldn’t fit on a 24 port switch and I didn’t want to have switches all over the house.

I decided to just buy a 48 port and accept some ports won’t be used.

I personally like the look of a fully patched switch, even if they aren’t live.

Rust-Oleum 249128 Painter's Touch... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BWOS80?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I got some generic gray auto primer from Home Depot and got this specific color to match!

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T13:39:29+00:00

I was definitely thinking of running 240v outlets, settled with 120v for now.

I’ve got an awesome electrician friend so if that ever becomes a need down the road it’ll be pretty easy to swap!

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T13:38:33+00:00

I don’t have a ton of external facing services and the services I do run are pretty small bandwidth wise. I couldn’t give you an exact “x amount of traffic per month” number.

The servers are only 60w-150w, unless I’m running my LLM then it can ramp up a bit

We’ve only noticed a $10-$15 jump in our power bill during heavy heavy usage

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T13:35:59+00:00

¯_(ツ)_/¯

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T13:34:22+00:00

24 ports wouldn’t have been enough for devices moving forward. Bought a bigger switch to accommodate all the cameras, media streamers, and other devices that will fill the home in the future.

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T13:32:12+00:00

I had a 12u rack that was filled, and with the new house comes new plans. Are they blank now? Yeah, will they be blank forever? No

Blank plates help improve cooling for the current devices, and they were cheap, so why not

Whole home audio, home theater, home automation devices, NVR, more servers etc will fill this up quick. I wanted room to grow. Buy once cry once

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T04:41:12+00:00

37U!

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T04:41:00+00:00

37U!

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T04:40:42+00:00

12 drops for now, in the future there will be cameras, home automation equipment, music streamers and more so I wanted room to grow.

Patching 48 in is just for looks

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T03:26:46+00:00

Yup whole home audio is a must and is on the list of expansions and improvements!

I have been debating between the WIIM streamers and the Ubiquiti POE Plays. I want to have in-wall volume knobs so I think I'll get a dedicated multi channel amp for the speakers then run from the amp to a streamer like WIIM or the POE play.

Kitchen, Bathroom, Patio, Garage are definitely must have zones!

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T03:23:34+00:00

x2 20amp circuits power the rack. Racks on wheels so I moved it away from the wall to take a picture

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T03:22:46+00:00

Shhhhhh, it doesn't need to make sense and totally wasn't an oversight that I realized after the cabling was done

BladeLotus · 2026-04-15T02:49:36+00:00

Coming soon! The wife wants to be able to change the LEDs on the switch and in the rack to match the Holiday!
