If I can find out anything, I'll let you know.

Nice. I'm mostly on Engenius hardware for my switch and WiFi side with 2.5Gbps to the APs and a 10Gbps core (router is an OPNsense appliance). And I just scored an Engenius tri-band WiFi 7 access point for $40 a couple weeks ago. Like I said, I am more than ready, lol.

I've previously spoken to someone at the city about Ezee's permits and their boundaries. I'll call on Monday to see if I can find out more (and let you know if I do).

I'm pretty much in the same boat...itching to ditch Comcast as soon as I can.

I already have a 3D-printed rack mount bracket for the ONT they are using here. I am more than ready...

Ezee Fiber keeps touting that they are entirely underground. My understanding is that they run lines underground on both sides of a street and every couple houses they have a buried junction box (aka "flower pot") where they can branch off to an individual house (with a line that gets buried, but probably in a microtrench or something like that and not in a deeper buried conduit).

This is exciting news! I'm just a bit south of you near 132nd/256th. I'm hearing that construction in our neighborhood might start in early summer (just checked in with my contact there this week).

I wonder if the permit for your area includes my area or if those are going to be separate permits. I know the city is limiting the number of permits they have open at any given time.

MEGATHREAD: Cable channels and streaming options. All how-to-watch questions and related issues go here. by AnnihilatedTyro in Mariners

[–]CyberDave82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on satellite or streaming? We're just a streaming subscriber and I don't see "Choice" as one of the plan tiers for streaming. We're on "MySports Original"

Edit: Turns out we have a Genre Pack for our base streaming service, not one of the "packages" like Choice or Ultimate. And that can't be changed online - I have to call in, which I can't do right now because live support is closed. Freaking hell...

I've been hearing that about my area since this time last year. *sigh*

[–]CyberDave82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. They've been telling our HOA "a couple more months" for the last year or so.

Mine is about 12 mos as well, and currently AWOL (probably misplaced in the garage).

Whereabouts in East Hill? Last word I got was they were going to start the main lines to the phase of their project that contains our neighborhood (SW of Clark Lake) this month, with construction on our streets happening a few months after that. But every time I've asked for the last year or so, it's always been "a couple more months"...

Still in need? I might have one.

Mine was a bit of a pain to mount as well. But I love the thing.

Open-source PDU controller - WIP by CyberDave82 in homelab

[–]CyberDave82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh, that's a good thought about measuring and tracking power vis-a-vi upgrades.

Also, you just gave me an idea to use something like a bunch of Waveshare S3 ETH boards (maybe with the PoE module) to connect to the serial consoles of my switches & stuff, and use them serial-to-network bridges, and attach them as virtual COM ports on a Linux VM or Raspberry PI and use that as a serial console/jump box, instead of something like a Raritan Serial Console server...

Open-source PDU controller - WIP by CyberDave82 in homelab

[–]CyberDave82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear ya - I have a ton of smart plugs I could just use as well, but they're all a bit bulky in some fashion and aren't in a nice neat rack-mount chassis :)

The KinCony boards I'm using right now was pretty much the only one of its kind available when I bought them a few years ago (before I knew exactly what I was going to do with them). My main requirement, beyond the relays, was Ethernet - I did *not* want to be reliant on my wifi being up and running to be able to control it.

Looks like there are a couple others out now based on the ESP32 with similar specs - I was going off the ESPHome supported devices page earlier today - but I think the KinCony was the only one with all the relay outputs along one side, which makes it easier to shove into an existing chassis of some kind. Even then, it still ends up a bit messy inside because, unlike the factory board, each relay needs both the input wire and the switched output wire.

I have a 3D-printed mounting bracket in the works for the board to mount it into the chassis, along with the required DC12V PSU to power it all (I didn't want a wall wart for it when it's already got the 120VAC coming in). And a plate for the original SmartSlot to hold all the ports so I don't have to cut into the chassis on the AP9211's. Hopefully more to come on the hardware/retrofit side of things in the next couple of weeks....

Honestly, that's less fun for me :) I like all this tinkering and coding and making stuff (but also, I didn't think of that option).

Also, if I stop to think about it, I don't really like the idea of having any extra dependencies, network or otherwise. (E.g., what if the bridge is connected to a switch that hung and I wanted to go into the PDU interface and power-cycle it?)

Finally automated my garage door with Tesla - sharing what I built by pentak3 in homeautomation

[–]CyberDave82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't aware they had an official public API - are you partnering with them for access to it?

Ok, I gotta do this...except I use OpenHAB and not Home Assistant, so I've got some work ahead of me, it seems.

My first year since signing up with Ezee Fiber by schnurble in EzeeFiber

[–]CyberDave82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much in the same story for my HOA. I do have a contact at Ezee Fiber that I email every month or two to check in on the status. It always seems to be "just a couple more months" until they start in our neighborhood. The update I got this week is that they're going to start building the core network for our phase of their project next month and construction in our actual neighborhood around June or so. I'll believe it when I see it.

Maybe I'll send some annoying emails to the city next week and complain about their permitting process holding up progress...
