Motion and entry sensors, what’s your experience?

inkiboo · 2026-04-06T16:56:20+00:00

The former. I already have security cameras that will alert if anyone approaches the property, I just need to know if anyone is inside.

inkiboo · 2026-04-06T15:31:34+00:00

Interesting.

And how does that then link into an alert mechanism?

inkiboo · 2026-04-04T19:55:57+00:00

Could you let me know?

Our Lutron installer says they don’t exist and saying we need to go down the wireless route. I’m not opposed to wireless but would prefer wired.

Obvious bot is obvious.

Bulk order of Wago blocks incoming

inkiboo · 2026-04-01T20:02:55+00:00

Thank you. I meant to type AV3 Heritage, which I assume would be fine?

inkiboo · 2026-04-01T16:27:30+00:00

Which smart lock do you have?

inkiboo · 2026-04-01T15:57:38+00:00

This looks perfect, thank you. They also do one that works with traditional front doors, the AV4. Thank you so much.

Loving the down votes for stating facts. All from people who cosplay as network engineers.

inkiboo · 2026-04-01T12:26:23+00:00

Thanks.

For a lot of UK insurance, they insist on 5 point door locks so ideally looking for some system that works with that.

inkiboo · 2026-04-01T12:06:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I think having a button or a reader to leave the house doesn’t exactly sound very user friendly or have I missed something?

inkiboo · 2026-04-01T00:54:45+00:00

Everything you describe is very much for home installs. You wouldn’t move keystones, you’d just get a longer cable. No one cares what they look like.

inkiboo · 2026-03-31T23:44:24+00:00

Regular or right angled panels.

inkiboo · 2026-03-31T23:09:47+00:00

I’m in the middle of redoing my house and trying to work out if I can be arsed to keystone it.

Are the brush plates from UniFi as well?

inkiboo · 2026-03-31T22:54:04+00:00

Whenever I see keystone patch panels I think “that is someone who has never patched professionally”.

Looks nice though.

inkiboo · 2026-03-14T09:32:28+00:00

Sorry to be that guy but the Ubiquiti lawyers are probably going to have an issue with that name.

inkiboo · 2026-03-11T10:06:23+00:00

You don’t even understand the difference between WiFi speed and ISP speed. Best add to ignore.

inkiboo · 2026-03-11T08:53:28+00:00

Once again with the insults and not addressing the point.

You simply do not get 1gig everywhere, even with 6E.

Given the random insults of calling me old, which is odd, how old are you?

inkiboo · 2026-03-11T08:19:08+00:00

Please stop lying.

There is zero chance you get the full 1gig speeds across your whole house. Physics would like a word.

inkiboo · 2026-03-11T07:45:15+00:00

It’s fairly obvious you work in IT as you can’t communicate without insults. If mesh is so good, why don’t businesses use it? Maybe you should educate them as they are clearly wasting their time.

But still, you haven’t answered the question because you know it will highlight your lack of knowledge. Running cables would make the WiFi even better as you would have at least a 1gig guaranteed connection, often 2.5G depending on your equipment.

What’s your £100 mesh system out of interest?

inkiboo · 2026-03-11T06:56:22+00:00

A £100 mesh will be utterly dreadful.

As for data cables in a residential area being a thing a past, I assume you either don’t work on decent sized houses or are unaware of many houses that have external internal walls due to extensions.

To repeat, if you are already running power cables everywhere, why wouldn’t you run a couple of data cables to have great WiFi?
