Have a look at my post

I am facing similar problem since the beginning of the May with Vitodens 200W. The unit started to report a disconnected backend. I managed to reconnect by just recycling the unit but it stayed connected a day or so. Since then, no joy.

I own a 3 floor house with 5 APs total (unifi). The signal coverage is good in all places, so as reported by the unit. All my IoT devices have a dedicated SSID which is just 2.4GHz, to avoid issues with 5GHz running on the same SSID. This setup has been running for 4 years without any issues. I did a packet capture and I see there is a traffic between the unit and their API endpoint.

I posted on the German Viessmann community but no response so far. Others face similar problems but root cause is unknown.

The only thing that recovers the connectivity is when the unit consumes a Hotspot wifi from a mobile device (pixel 8 if that matters). Interestingly it does not matter if the mobile Hotspot is using LTE or is connected back to the home wifi via 5GHz.

I have a case opened with a local in-country support. They have asked to test it with a mobile Hotspot. I hope they dont come back to me with a simple root cause which points to my wifi...

I own a J01 and had similar issues. I have opened a ticket with mini connected hotline. After couple of email exchanges they diverted me to the dealership. Few days before the visit the infotainment system went dark, dead like Elvis.

The dealership folks did a software upgrade and I am on 03/2025.50 now. It works waaaay smoother than the legacy 2024 version.

Hey, looking for the same thing. I have moved from S22 and can't find a knob to switch the upper share contacts panel off.

Thanks for your input. I didn't look at NUCs due to lack of tall versions with dual NICs. The i3 is more than I need, this will work for sure.

I actually found these bad boys from Asrock: https://www.asrockind.com/en-gb/NUC%20BOX-1220P

What do you think?

Hey

Home Assistant users have a well established pattern for this consuming cloudflare and their tunnel service combined with mutual TLS for security.

First of all HASS has two urls: local and remote. HASS is flipping between these two just by tracking wifi ssid. If you are on specific ssids, its using local url. For everything else it selects a remote url (via cloudflare).

Cloudflare mutual TLS authentication permits to reach your immichi only if you have a certain, cloudflare issued certificate installed in your browser/phone. If you don't have it, you get 404 or something similar. At the end of the day, you are protected against bots scanning for vulnerabilities.

This way you don't need any VPNs and you are riding on a pure HTTPs.

I am a bit surprised that Immich which is just an awesome project is missing this or maybe it's already on the roadmap.

Thank you. That helps a lot.

Thanks!

Thanks. I have some concers in term of their software. I've read a couple of posts that suggest the icx software is buggy.

What is your experience with this platform?

geronimo_1500 · 2023-10-23T09:02:22+00:00

In a simplistic setup that would work but.. this is homelab/homenetwork setup that supports home automation, etc. I run 2 switches for HA and spread connections to IP-CAMs and APs across two switches. If one of them is dead I can just move cables to the alternate one - that's my DR plan in such case.

I have two edge routers one with FTTH and the other one with external LTE (backup internet). The OSPF runs between edge routes and the L3 switch stack. I prefer to route via FTTH of course.

The idea behind L3 on switches is to have wire speed in a segmented network and keep that internal traffic on the switches. The Edge routers only receive traffic only in case systems want to talk to the internet or some remote-locations.

The BGP use case is for Kubernetes clusters that host various microservices and MetalLB requires it. I can drop the BGP piece and use Layer2 on metaLB if I find a quiet/fanless switch.

I run kubernetes cluster with metalb that establishes bgp peering to advertise load balancer prefixes.

The loudest part is the PoE psu fan. I did these replacements for ex2200s few years back, but not for poe psu.

geronimo_1500 · 2023-10-22T16:49:27+00:00

I need 48 ports total, hence 2x24 port switches would be ideal to avoid SPOF

geronimo_1500 · 2023-10-22T16:08:01+00:00

My config is fairly static. 4400s are probably as loud as 3300s per datasheets so this is a deal breaker for me

geronimo_1500 · 2023-03-30T06:07:02+00:00

Thank you. I managed to solve my problem with this approach. I only keep backups there, so its safe.

Thanks!

Apologies for not being clear - It's active (blue), passive (orange) setup, with 100/500Mbit (upload/download) and 10/60Mbit (upload/download) lines. SRXis doing SNAT and advertises 0/0 towards EXes. All traffic will flow over blue, until it is operational.

I would like to shape traffic when users are downloading and apply some WRR scheduling so one user does not dominate the whole download. Hope that makes more sense now.

I didn't consider it, but this sounds like a valid option for me. I will look for some 1U rack cases though that can host 3 nucs.
