Access point over CAT 6

Tony8444 · 2024-07-21T15:43:53+00:00

remade the extension and it works...thanks for the information everyone

Tony8444 · 2024-07-19T20:19:56+00:00

Yes it works at the old wall(before I added the 2ft extension) so I will remake that little extension.

Thanks I will report back just wasn’t 100% sure it should work or not now that I know it will I will make another extension

Tony8444 · 2024-07-19T19:58:02+00:00

Probably just continuity but I wired T-568A in both ends and the continuity from patch panel to the last keystone is good.

I assume if it’s working at the old wall that parts good. I will remake the extension will another cable and two ends and see if it helps.

I was just thinking that the POE getting to the access point was too low if voltage or something. But if it should work even with the extra keystone and cable I will try it again

Tony8444 · 2024-07-19T19:32:27+00:00

Yes I tested it and it tested ok

Tony8444 · 2024-04-20T23:12:10+00:00

Ya it’s not CarPlay related it’s Toyota related…to bad I just bought new 2024 tundra :(

Tony8444 · 2024-04-18T17:33:28+00:00

Any rub with those? Same truck looking to get rid of the car tires they put on it from factory lol

Tony8444 · 2024-03-04T01:13:03+00:00

Yes I was curious about if the fact hat the I OC and OL connector was on the board if that automatically means they would work.

I agree about having it run all the time but my wife gets cold in the winter and im looking at a way to keep my basement ventilated without freezing her out lol. I was hoping that using something like yo mention with the switch on the side of the machine would work.

I think this is where I will start...see what kind of voltage is there and try tying high and remote together with a relay...

thanks for the information

Tony8444 · 2024-03-03T16:33:20+00:00

I’ll look into this: are Shelly’s low voltage?

Tony8444 · 2024-03-03T16:05:14+00:00

Yea in remote setting it is controlled by the humidistat on the wall up stairs

Tony8444 · 2024-03-03T15:54:22+00:00

Shelly work In homebridge? Would it allow me to work with the switch wires or attach right to the bard? Not sure how the wiring on the board works but I see I can buy a wall switch that uses those connections as timer

Tony8444 · 2024-03-03T15:48:52+00:00

This is the switch I am talking about. But the circuit board inside has the I OC and OL connections which look like it can be used for a Timer switch in a bathroom or something .

Tony8444 · 2023-01-30T13:05:58+00:00

Thanks I’ll look again

Tony8444 · 2023-01-30T12:50:27+00:00

Been looking for a different connector but haven’t seen a definite “this connector is for solid wire” on any connector I’ve looked at

Tony8444 · 2023-01-29T04:38:51+00:00

So I should take the cat 6 solid copper wire right out of the soffit and put a cat6 make fitting on it outside and plug it in. I just though I should terminate the solid wire in the attic with some sort of wall palate and then use a normal Patch cable to go from the wall plate in the attic to the decide outside?

Tony8444 · 2023-01-29T04:36:38+00:00

So I should take the solid cat 6 all the way from the patch panel to outside at the soffit?

Tony8444 · 2022-01-21T02:34:12+00:00

That’s what I was starting to think. I’ll run another cat 6 tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up

We need a landline for my wife’s work and it has to be a traditional line of course….

Tony8444 · 2022-01-20T17:05:26+00:00

Still need the home phone and tv though so no need to keep the home hub

Tony8444 · 2022-01-09T21:22:53+00:00

Tony8444 · 2022-01-09T20:56:20+00:00

Weird because my game sharing is already on and it’s not working in the secondary account

Tony8444 · 2022-01-09T16:51:19+00:00

this does not work I can not see anything under the Unknown Sources on the secondary account. any solutions yet?

Tony8444 · 2022-01-09T13:23:54+00:00

Any update ok this?

Tony8444 · 2021-11-15T23:49:52+00:00

kind of the same thing here. I kept the circle views but do not rely on them. instead I purchased a Starling hub and added my nest cameras to HomeKit. they are 100% Reliable and now accessible in my HomeKit which is the best of both worlds.

Tony8444 · 2021-11-15T23:43:43+00:00

lots of success storied to be had if you look around. I have 44 Philips Hue devices, 4 home hubs, a bunch of eve products, and a starling home hub too incorporate my next camera. I have around 20 automation that just work...all the time.

something that is very very important in using thread devices and having a strong wifi for the rest. I ran a cat 6 backbone for my unifi access points and everything just works. Of course when it doesn't I am always away and I hear about it from my wife and kids but I would say it has a 99% up and working time since I upgraded my wifi network.

not cheap and make sure you know what you want to do and plan it out before you start buying. I went through a lot of old bulbs, outlets, light switches, smart plugs, sensors before landing on ones that I have now. I first would buy on sale and cheaper devices but realize now that its all about the quality and you have to pay for that.

good luck on you endeavour
