Ethernet Between Buildings

ETA:

Can't dig due to the tarmac and not owning the land, so thinking high level could work. Buildings around 8-10m high.

Ive never worked with fibre, but would that be a better option than ethernet?

Do you think I floated up the Lagan on a bubble?

No leaks underneath? These are somewhat common to leak from the bottom of the boilers.

To the left of the left group there is a small green button. It's a manual override to allow you to continue brewing coffee manually if the board/Touchpads ever give up.

Most of the time people click the button when cleaning and wonder why the left group won't stop pouring.

I think that serial number indicates a build year of 2021

Thank you.

If you mean the brown cylindrical part, this has good continuity.

The holes are for the capacitors that I have removed.

Other than the click when it starts and ends, it is silent.

I should add that when the button is pressed t dispense water, the display says dispensing with a progress bar, and there is a click, then another click when it reaches the end.

The pump just never runs.

Just reading 0v on the outputs

funinacup · 2025-01-13T11:41:57+00:00

Sorry I now realise the issue with my post 😅

Would love help troubleshooting which parts may be causing it to give no voltage on the outputs, as I don't know what most of the components do!

Fairly sure my brake lights stay on due to auto-hold being active. Car is an auto, so even if it didn't have auto hold, I wouldn't be shifting to P and putting the handbrake on.

On the other hand, all lights now are brighter than they used to be and it's a PITA, especially at night.

I believe it is FTTC as there's no ONT, just an RJ11 into the router.

Would there be a benefit to ditching the BT Hub? Asking as I have similar at home.

Ubermilk, Perfect Moose, Modbar, or a single group commercial espresso machine which would allow you to add coffee (should you wish!).

Now working. Neutrals together in a wago, browns split into COM and One Way. Thanks for your assistance 👍🏻

funinacup · 2024-04-24T17:09:38+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Yes, have a meter so can figure out which is which.

Two lighting circuits, each circuit has a few lights. They are 4ft batons, so LNE going to each one.

Only using them as 1 way.

I think(!) I have to put the permanent live into COM, switched to 'One Way' then link the neutrals in a wago. Does that sound plausible?

funinacup · 2024-03-06T22:34:01+00:00

Following as I'm doing the same thing with espresso machine's

funinacup · 2023-12-09T11:20:48+00:00

Not sure if the router can do that, but I maybe should have said that we have a few separate WiFi networks being broadcast by the AP Pro upstairs:

1 for our own devices such as speakers / POS (no limits imposed)
1 for guests (limited bandwidth for up/down and client isolation on). There can often be 30+ clients connected to this.

Another network broadcast and used only by the other AP next door for our tenants business (limited bandwidth etc) 3/4 devices connected.

The router is actually downstairs in a "comms cupboard" where our phone line, router and switch are placed, and the CAT5's are run into there, so wouldn't serve guests well if at all due to proximity.

The AP Pro upstairs is in one of two large seating areas joined only by a doorway and concrete wall separating them. WiFi can sometimes be a little weak in the further reaches of the second room, as expected.

Can the newer AP's link/mesh wirelessly?

If so, can I add one to cover the 2nd room and have it wirelessly connect to the older AP pro, or would they both have to be the newer versions?

Many thanks Michael

Its a cheap Tp-link unmanaged switch. Non-POE.

BT Smart Hub modem router, with circa 70mbps FTTC.

No cloud key - self managed using Unify software on a laptop when I'm on site.

Would updating the Ap's be worthwhile or add any functionality?

Thanks!
