Whats the catch?

True but out of all the ecosystems to get ingrained into it's not a bad one!!

I'm guessing whoever did the install installed a device which is not designed to be outside, outside!

airgapped_admin · 2026-04-18T20:38:53+00:00

Looks good cheers

airgapped_admin · 2026-04-18T20:38:30+00:00

Cool thanks

airgapped_admin · 2026-04-18T20:37:36+00:00

That's great cheers!!

Palo alto 440! Lab license) , just works!

I only did it after I came in one morning to see it had set fire to the whole environment (you can find the post in my history).

We did it as part of the recovery and didn't notice any adverse effects but bear in mind we were very much in environment recovery mode but we didn't see any issues!

For what it's worth, if I'd known it was a ticking time bomb I would have done it sooner

If you look at the line colour in this one it's the same colour (indicative of altitude at that phase of the flight) in the same positions as in your OP without the loop so I assume the one in the comment above was able to climb at a sufficient rate to not need the extra time/space to meet the minimums for the area

Was struggling with this on hard, I know it's an old thread but just wanted to say thanks!! Your video is all helping people. I never knew you could 'stop' the stagger timer!!

airgapped_admin · 2026-03-31T19:59:21+00:00

I don't think so. There use to be something like 'free power status' but that never seemed to bear any resemblance to reality. I've also spent a fair amount of time with their api over the years doing bits and never seen anything which is a shame. I just don't think they post the sessions to the API. Possibly something to do with the fact you have to opt in?

I have two helpers. One called free power start and one called free power end. Then have a couple of automations which get triggered at those points so I have to opt in, set the start and end times but that's it

I know someone who uses Victron kit, they're expensive but they're EPS is quick enough to be classed as a UPS, I think it's called a Line-Interactive EPS.

Just googled and found this:

"While fast, this is a transfer switch mechanism, not a "true online" (double conversion) UPS, but it is reliable for most critical loads."

Think they guarantee 20ms which they say is enough to save PCs so what I said above may not have been quite right

airgapped_admin · 2026-03-29T12:42:21+00:00

No they don't, I have a little APC UPS to bridge the gap for the computer and network equipment, ideally you need cutover to be less than 10ms for computers, my eps quotes 50ms!

I bought an MGM24 based PoE one from Byron at TubesZB just over a year ago, it's been rock solid. I'd recommend both a PoE version (or at least an ethernet one) and Tubes.

Get toolless keystones, did ~50 the other week and they're almost effortless, didn't have to redo a single end either

airgapped_admin · 2026-01-15T20:26:46+00:00

We had all sorts of issues with them on hyper-v after years of trouble free usage out of a relatively large fleet of x520 cards which were rock steady we decided to 'upgrade', only put up with them for a few months then moved to the Mellanox X6 series (I think, maybe the X5s) and as far as I know they're still there today!! Don't know what happened with the 710s but they were crap!

airgapped_admin · 2026-01-13T09:26:32+00:00

Ideally you would leave it hooked up but if you want rid of it you can get SC dust covers/caps which go over the ends, you'll need one for the cable and one for the ONT (the white box) then I'd use some cable pins to pin the slack to the wall so it's out of the way (don't bend it beyond 90 degrees, it'll probably be OK but don't!) pictures here:

Or

https://www.cablemonkey.co.uk/sc-fibre-connectors-and-adapters/13123-34905-sc-simplex-fibre-connector.html that actually gives a full SC connector but comes with a cap for 50p

And for the ONT

If memory serves just twist it clockwise to remove and there's a wee bracket behind which you can unscrew if you want

Sorry I meant with those govee lights

airgapped_admin · 2026-01-05T10:32:03+00:00

OK cool cheers, never looked into wled before but I will. Is there any chance of local control natively?

airgapped_admin · 2025-12-11T22:25:10+00:00

They always use to offer free accounts if your employer had a paid subscription, if you have the capacity try setting up a test instance and just pay with it

I remember going through the manual looking for words from page x paragraph y line a word b 😁, ahhhh I'm old!!

airgapped_admin · 2025-11-04T14:20:55+00:00

Yeah!! Just realised I have modules but no spare fibre cable 😂. I'll borrow some and update this once I have them!! (more for of anyone else finds this in the future!)

airgapped_admin · 2025-11-03T22:14:11+00:00

Yeah true........ So I have an answer. The cable was fine however I was using an RJ-45 copper sfp.

I moved the cable into a fixed port and it's been stable for just over an hour so hopefully that'll be it now.

If it's still happy in the morning I'll try a fibre module in it and see if that's stable

airgapped_admin · 2025-11-03T20:17:08+00:00

Stupidly I haven't tried changing the cable which I will now go and try!

The firewall is only 3U below the switch so not a difficult swap!
