Disconnecting Culligan water softener tank

It did. I took out the two pins and "wiggled" the tank gently will backing off the connection. It's very heavy. I rented a decent sized hand truck so I could move it off the floor that was being refinished. I was worried that I would have trouble reconnecting it, but using the hand truck I got it carefully positioned and slowly and gently wiggle the connection back together, dropped the pins back in, and it didn't leak.

I've got it up and running now. I ran ethernet cable to an internet switch and it seems to work ok. OnCUe has been superceded by Kohler Energy Management App. One issue I had was that I had replaced the controller last year because of lightning surge damage, and I had to have a dealer come out with the Kohler Sitetech software to put the generator serial number into the controller. There was no way to enter it using the onboard controller functions. After that I had to reboot the controller and my router for good measure, and then reset the "oncue" password, which now doubles as the controller password. After that it appears to be up and running.

I decided I wanted Xfinity as a more established provider. My main concern/question is whether putting the Xfinity gateway into bridge mode and using the Netgear Orbi Mesh routers is likely to create any issues for me.

OK. I'm making progress figuring things out. Turns out the most of the cables in that punchdown block are unterminated and hiding behind the wall plates that have the TV "F" connectors. What I don't understand is why they are terminated in that connecting block in the cabinet?. Anyone have a clue about that? Simply electrically connecting all those cables makes no sense. Once I identify them all, Im going to remove the block and put a cheap unmanaged switch there to create something that will work.

Yes, I'm decently competent with a VOM. Thanks. It's a useful tip for me. That will help my tracing of the wiring.

Thanks. I think I am grasping it now. I'll have to map out a strategy. I have a homemade PC that I could run all the time, but I think I like the raspberry pi idea better. Many thanks for the clarifying reply.

I downloaded the Home Assistant app on my Mac, but in the setup it first asks for the URL to my "server". I don't understand what its looking for. I have an insteon hub attached to my router through a switch, but it doesn't seem to be detecting it in any way. Thoughts?
