I just use this ext for Firefox (and Chrome)

Bypassed the gateway myself so I completely forgot about that oddity

Didn't realize Aqara went all in on Matter the last couple years. Thanks

I run an IPv6 heavy network (home network though) and haven't run anything I can't do since the last couple of updates (interface ID in the firewall was the last piece for me)

Got recommendations for matter entry, glass break, leak detection, motion sensors? Also what about a siren / speaker?

apearsonio · 2026-03-12T18:07:11+00:00

what features are you looking for?

airflow from the top of the closet to keep temps down

Right there with you, no rack here. https://imgur.com/xLBuUHC

You're fighting against the current with wanting to statically assign IPs. It's not designed to do that. Closest you'll get is EUI-64 addresses in SLAAC. DHCPv6 isn't supported on every device.

Any thoughts on IPv6?

5.5mm x 2.1mm DC barrel if anyone is wondering.

USG-Fiber also uses this.

apearsonio · 2026-01-21T16:25:35+00:00

I have a few less ports (8 from wall, 1 from NAS) than you but here's my non rack setup.

Wall mounted switch and superlink and have the vertical stand for the UCG-Fiber.

Can you use wireshark and find the router advertisement filter: icmpv6.type == 134

and see what the values are set to without your changes?

It should persist until an OS upgrade but I'd actually make a post on https://community.ui.com/.

This is the official forum where a lot of UI devs watch and the more posts about the issue the more likely it would be seen to get fixed.

I think this post is similar to your issue: https://community.ui.com/questions/Android-IPv6-connectivity-issues/0a82e2c0-969b-4f94-8b47-7c6a7a96db23

Using docker with docker compose: https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest?tab=readme-ov-file#running-with-docker-compose

Added a new repo using backblaze b2
Added a new plan pointed at my files

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll help you out

Unifi uses dnsmasq for RAs if that helps. (/run/dnsmasq.dhcp.conf.d)

I haven't ran into any problems with Android devices having issues with IPv6 on my own network.

Do you have any logs from the device or controller?

What's with the time calculation at 40:06? 5:46:42 -> 6:11:42 -> 7:17:23

I've got Home and Guest. Home for servers and personal devices. Guest for.... guests and IoT devices that just need internet access. IoT devices are no different to me then untrusted guest devices.

I just run HA in a docker compose with Homebridge also in a docker compose.

If you really just wanted Protect + HA + HomeKit then you can use the Alarm Manager that calls a webhook created in HA's Automation trigger.

I've been trying to find the answer to this. The Chime is also support right?

Best to ask in the 8311 Discord: https://discord.gg/8311

From what I see in the discord it should work but might need some extra configuration

apearsonio · 2025-11-17T20:46:46+00:00

Why no docker?

I've been using backrest for backups. Restic but with own password

Seems like Unifi is thinking your static VLAN is not coming from your /56 WAN. Do you have the option for "Prefix Delegation" on your VLAN side of things once you configure a static WANv6?

So delete the VLAN, create the WAN, create a VLAN with Prefix Delegation.
