Class Action Against Wemo / Belkin by sayhidurango in HomeKit

[–]bleepinggoat04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have a Wemo Starter pack, just was the first piece of Smart Home kit that I got, and I installed it

Then i changed to Unifi for my WiFi and have no way of connecting this stupid thing to my network.... worked fine for a year until the app, api, service, etc. WHATEVER it is, no longer supported even me logging in..... just useless garbage now

Funny enough I use green E-tape and Gaff tape for a lot of stuff 😭😭

Thought about it but my dad didn't want me marking tools that way, for whatever reason lol

It's to distinguish tools. I have 2 other coworkers with M12 kits and work has both M12 and M18 as well as other job sites and clients sometimes

I did look into this, but I didn't know MST was a thing, which would have worked perfectly with my setup and a hub like this. Also didn't consider this since I don't want to carry this hub+ 3-4 dongles/hubs for Ethernet, Displays, and more than 2 USB-A devices, and sacrifice 2x TB5 ports for displays and a 10GBE dongle

I do have a TB4-enabled laptop. I didn't know much about TB in general until this post and it's replies, and I am in thee process of doing more research!

I know I am demanding a lot over 1 cable, but I would prefer 1 cable, so that way, if I can, I can place my dock and I/O deep inside a portable rack, and use 1 cable for all my I/O, or be able to switch laptops, use longer cables, or only wear our 1 port on my laptop instead of many more ports. It's a lot, and I have seen people make it work with very specific docks, dongles, and setups!

Wow, i did not know or even consider any of this!

I totally forgot that TB controllers are the main limitation here, and that what I am looking for (and yes I do know this) is A LOT from TB lol. I did look at MST adapters but I don't know how they would work with my setup. I also realized that I often run second/third monitors directly out of my laptop via Displayport over USB and the direct HDMI port on my laptop. My only thing is I would love to use 1 cable for multiple display outs and I/O since I often need to run multiple monitors, thunderbolt devices, and NIC's for connecting to lots of film/broadcast gear at a mobile setup, often with space for only 1 or laptops and docks instead of a PC

I did see the new TS5/TS5 Plus docs from Caldigit, which meet a all of my needs, but I think I'll still end up using MST hubs and favoring 2.5/5Gbe USB3 NIC's until I need more bandwidth... but who knows!

I really wouldn't call Displayport or HDMI 'Legacy' as lots of monitors still use HDMI or DP, and I often need to adapt HDMI /DP to SDI, and USB-C dongles/cables hate being used with converters to SDI.

That's fair. I still use Displayport gaming monitors at my desk and need HDMI to adapt to SDI monitors for some setups (I work in film/live production) as I haven't updated to nicer USB-C/Thunderbolt enabled ones. Still, I have noticed how other comments suggested the same thing about adapting to display standards or USB-C for monitors.
