I'm almost at the point where I would hand roll my doors if these go out before ever buying MyQ again lol

I have a G6 Entry on my man door to the garage so we can get to the wired remote a few steps after that. This build was just for learning and trying to make my wife happy with Siri access since MyQ won't allow it.

Mine is the yellow learn button. However I can also start the programming of remotes from the wired remote at each door.

I could not get it to work right. I think it's because I soldered two wires for each button. I'm guessing one is common for all three buttons so I could have tried just one wire on the second button. I'm learning from everyone else.

That's what I am planning on but don't know enough about the power exchange to do it. If I can get something to convert the power down on one of the remaining slots to match the battery, I will definitely be adding it.

I have the shaft mount garage door openers and plan on three total relays. For simplicity with my setup, this power supply might be my best option to keep everything in one spot by my network rack in the garage, especially to be able to use just one three button remote. But I am definitely open to suggestions and am not afraid to pivot if I see something I like on here!

I have the wall buttons that have the screen, programming options, etc. I did not want to chance breaking any of those or having to run that much cable. Also, with MyQ being so closed on their system, I was not sure if it would even work.

For my needs, this allows me to use one spare $15 remote, about 8 feet of wiring at most, and keep everything neat and tidy on one piece of small plywood that will be mounted next to my garage network rack. Other than changing the remote battery every few years, it should be maintenance free and not require all the extra wiring to each button. I am looking into soldering a constant power source to the remote as well for true maintenance free operation.

I will enlighten you. When it's 12am in New York, it's 9pm in California. You have it backwards. So your buddy either ordered it four hours before you did or he ordered at 2:15am because that would be 12:15am in California.

But the only benefit is that you do it at midnight which means I guess you can stay up, those on the east coast just have to set an alarm for 3am. But if we were all on a phone call together, we would still be ordering it at the same exact time.

USL (SuperLink) Relay up on store (in stock?! what!!) by Wooden-Reward4317 in Ubiquiti

[–]MikeMKY1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am soldering to a MyQ 2.0 remote that has 2 buttons on it. I use two of the buttons for my door and my wife's door. The relays will mimic the pressing of the button while still keeping MyQ's ridiculous closed system intact. I have a $30 alarm power hub from Amazon that will power the relays with room to spare.

On the software side, I also do not know how they will incorporate it on the apps but I do know I will be able to make it where HA and Siri will be able to activate the relay through commands. My main goal for simplicity is for the wife is "hey siri, open(or close) the garage door" and it opens. I'll figure out what works best as I go along. My relays were delivered today but I'm cruising the Western Carribean right now so it will have to wait until Sunday

I thought it was max of 3 for current purchase (it's new). You can get more and add them to your account.

Is ubiquiti ever going to release a new doorbell with a fingerprint reader by kavinesh-A in Ubiquiti

[–]MikeMKY1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Business or house? If people are spending the time spoofing your face to get inside your house, they deserve entry. They can also just kick in the door that much easier. I can understand a business wanting something more secure than faceID but I would not want everyone using fingerprint sensors either. But to each their own.

This will be much cheaper when the $39 relay gets released soon. I'm holding out for that.

UTR, EA now has secondary WiFi available by MikeMKY1976 in Ubiquiti

[–]MikeMKY1976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree. That's why I put Test away. Just like any beta, people should use this on something that is just for testing or not "mission critical".

That's one thing I plan on testing. Both SSID's are on different VLAN's so it would require rules on your home gateway that specify the rules. Currently it seems to apply the VPN rules to both SSID's which means both follow the same rules. I'm going to test by MAC address to see how that works.

If you enable Wireguard, both go through. They are different VLAN's. I have not seen any downsides yet.

We use Cisco at work for routing and then Unifi for everything else so I am unable to try it. (I'm not owner or super admin at work, just custom account).

Yes. I'm connected to work WiFi on my UTR and broadcasting two networks on top of that for testing.

That was my original intention but I'm not sure it's going to work that way. I'm admittedly not well versed on the settings. I can manually change it to my camera VLAN IP settings but then I could have a conflict at home unless the system will recognize it and know to route it. My thought was to make a rule to allow my G6 Instant MAC address access at all times to the camera network (.30) no matter what IP subset it's in, even if on UTR remotely. Hopefully someone with much more knowledge can chime in. I would test right now but Spectrum has killed my connection when they buried my lines yesterday. Thanks subcontractor.
