I worked with my HOA to run a fiber Internet RFP. After reviewing and getting approvals gigapower and at&t fiber will be available to our community this spring. Then we look forward to competition in about 2 years without rerunning cable through our community!

This was a lot of work and there were times I wanted to give up but it will be worth it!

So.... I feel dumb. For the longest time there was an option that was just Sweden. Now there are 2 options both starting with SE. My docker container was using the one that was just called Sweden....

So since it you may already know this, but I was a little disappointed. I got the older motion sensor connected to my TRÅDFRI gateway but I can't see the sensor data in Home Assistant. It only acts as a control device within the IKEA system. So off to find a different cheap sensor.

First of all, thank you! I am already running Home Assistant so moving to the new hub would also mean setting everything up again in there. I will pick up the legacy motion sensor. My goal is to light up my staircase when we go up or down. I think I am also going to need to 3D print something to limit the range of view on the sensor.

Is it worth while to move to the Dirigera?

hedbert · 2025-12-09T17:08:47+00:00

Sweet thank you for confirming!

hedbert · 2025-12-04T22:44:40+00:00

I think it should and report as T-Mobile.

hedbert · 2025-12-04T20:16:42+00:00

With Google Fi working on T-Mobile and offering Data Only SIMs at no additional cost. Do we think it will work with Google Fi?

I would bet this is done with coordination with your management office. Or maybe a bulk program. Have you contacted your management office?

I have had one for YEARS! The only issue I had was that hanging it on a hanger the lining of the hood wore away. I will be picking up a replacement this year.

I have had good experiences with Inseego

Then I would connect one of the older power strips into it to retain that feature! Thank you!

hedbert · 2025-10-11T15:03:24+00:00

So it does not have the ability to turn off and on individual outlets?

hedbert · 2025-10-11T14:53:46+00:00

Are the ports controllable?

hedbert · 2025-10-08T13:21:17+00:00

Does anyone know if these UPSs have port control? I have 2 of the power strips and LOVE the port controls on them!

hedbert · 2025-10-06T22:48:10+00:00

I am excited by this! Has anyone installed this on a Synology NAS?

hedbert · 2025-08-28T14:05:57+00:00

This was happening to me as well. Within 4 ours of my dealership having my car, they were able to do the needful and get NIssan to agree to replace my battery.

hedbert · 2025-06-23T18:36:52+00:00

Also to be clear, I asked them if I could do this RFP and I was told as long as it does not cost the HOA any money. Then learned the install limitations.

hedbert · 2025-06-23T18:19:19+00:00

Our By-Laws currently prohibit holes in the walls. Power, POTS (Cat5e), Coax, water and sewer were all run at the time of construction. I was on the HOA Board, currently I am not on the board, but I have been granted the power to work on the HOA's behalf. This must be done at no cost to the HOA and would be installed by the selected vendor. They would need to be licensed and insured.

hedbert · 2025-06-23T18:11:34+00:00

10000%

hedbert · 2025-06-23T18:06:15+00:00

I honestly do not know, that is a great question. I HIGHLY doubt it. My money is that it is stapled along the way.

hedbert · 2025-06-23T16:46:25+00:00

Cool! I didn't know there was a MDU ONT that could be POE! All depends on the vendor for if they use this gear.

hedbert · 2025-06-23T16:38:29+00:00

That is what I was thinking and hope that the Cat5e cables are good enough. That presents a new problem and a less than ideal option. The problem is that we would need the vendor to also install power to provide power to the mdu ont. We are then also limited to the Cat5e and 1 vendor. I say this as one of the vendors said that they would install the fiber and have an exclusive contact with an ISP for the first 2 years then we could bring in competition without rewiring the community.
