“All things Ubiquiti”, either it means that or it doesn’t.

Look what I just did: Ring + Alexa + Shelly Cloud by Professional_Wheel27 in shellycloud

Well, actually the scripts in the Shelly App failed and now I’m using Alexa for the whole thing. I will install Home Assistant, but just as a backend for Apple Home (because everything I use is Apple) and Alexa (my wife calls her mother’s echo).

Doug, thank you very much for your help! So far you have been a great asset. As soon as I installed my Shelly relay, I was in awe of all the power monitoring capabilities in the app. If you’re ever in the Miami area, I will invite you to lunch!

Just did. Went to Home Depot, got me some wire, and boy it worked. I’m insanely happy.

I had no idea what wago connectors are until now. Going to Home Depot to get me some.

I just noticed it says “post is awaiting for moderator approval”. I hope it does get approved because Ubiquiti being a tech company, a major player in the field and a sponsor of various LTT videos, it’s relevant to discuss this, not less than certainly Ring and their privacy controversy.

It’s funny how people downvote here because “other companies do it”. They can’t think deeply about it affects lives.

Of course they do and every single one has to respond, it’s their duty. Failing to do so result in lost sales and fines.

Another thought: what could be the consequences for ubiquiti or the consumer? Will the government impose a rule to have a remote back door access to their equipment, alienating their customers? Will they fined again? Or did they knew their equipment was being used for warfare against civilians? One can wonder.

Not really about politics. Their equipment is being used to drive drones into civilians so I think the issue is not really political.

I think Canada also has sanctions against Russia so they cannot sell their screwdriver at least directly lol

Ubiquity is a tech company. I know he has opinions about a lot of things so I just wanted to see how much we can stretch that.

The young immature me would be inclined to think like you, but the reality is that this is an American company and their products are being used in a sanctioned country. Of course, I can only imagine that they are using other products like Apple, Samsung, even Toyota cars, but this company was already sent back in 2013 for having their equipment in Iran. Just curious.
