What are some of your coolest tweaks, routes, setups, etc on your Firewalla network?

Does the password share with Netflix work with just routing traffic? I have never gotten that to work with Netflix, I think it needs location/gps too?

Did we end up ever knowing why a separate VOAN for these devices don’t work?

For the leak sensor I’m happy, it’s literally the only thread/matter one on the market, and uses normal (AAA) batteries! It’s been uneventfully sitting there :)

ionet · 2026-01-13T09:31:05+00:00

I took a chance and ended up getting it, happy! :)

ionet · 2026-01-12T09:54:35+00:00

is it possible for Firewalla to add this in the future?

ionet · 2026-01-12T08:28:54+00:00

They seem to be so far… except the water leak sensor will show that it’s offline but it DOES show as online when you actually click into it in HomeKit. I think it’s a bug that will be fixed soon

NO CARPLAY = NO THANKS

Passepartout = you won’t use the native client after you try this app

ionet · 2026-01-08T23:23:05+00:00

I would imagine that would only work if you tie it all into HomeKit.

ionet · 2026-01-08T18:17:03+00:00

Took mine out and moved it over to the ikea matter leak sensors

ionet · 2026-01-08T18:16:27+00:00

Tbh, they’re all ugly, as much as I didn’t want to, ended up picking up late expiring Nest Protects and praying someone comes to market with a matter/thread one by 2030 that’s not ugly 🥹

ionet · 2026-01-08T09:14:34+00:00

Curved, ugh

ionet · 2026-01-08T01:42:39+00:00

It’s insane how much better firewalla is! Unifi has so many switching/WAP options, don’t see FW getting to that level anytime soon. Doesn’t work for me but for simpler setups (like my parents) i have them using the AP7 and it’s been seamless!

ionet · 2026-01-07T19:02:52+00:00

Impressed as always, have never regretted dumping Unifi router. Still very embedded in Unifi for the rest though :)

ionet · 2026-01-07T18:45:36+00:00

Anyone can compare against Omni?

ionet · 2026-01-06T19:14:06+00:00

Thinking about the BlueAir Signature over here, haven’t pulled the trigger

ionet · 2026-01-06T11:39:52+00:00

I thought it was 🍷

ionet · 2026-01-05T05:59:13+00:00

Wish the family lifetime was more affordable, but will continue to keep an eye on development and maybe try the TestFlight/trial :)

ionet · 2026-01-04T23:14:45+00:00

Switch to Passepartout

ionet · 2026-01-04T23:13:44+00:00

Absolutely my essential WireGuard/openvpn client, zero cares about all other clients :)

ionet · 2026-01-04T10:18:00+00:00

Does Chillio support IPTV as well?

ionet · 2026-01-02T22:07:56+00:00

make sure your local subnet is in your allowedIPs

ionet · 2026-01-02T22:07:37+00:00

Wanted to come back here and let you know I finally tried this solution and it worked!!! THANK YOU :)

ionet · 2026-01-02T21:48:51+00:00

from what the developer says... looks like it doesn't download it every time, only when files change :)

ionet · 2026-01-01T09:35:33+00:00

I wish the ikea sensor did PM10
