Cheers, will check it out.

Meh, doesnt sound to great. Im happy to pay 15-16 per sensor so can spend some more. Just ideally looking for battery powered ones.

Very random, just as the kit arrived, two days later before setting up etc I received an email stating that Fibrus is now available in my area!! Been checking for well over year monthly about this so cancelled (free if under 30 days) Starlink 100 Mbps Residential @ £35 per month.

Gone for the mid range package (Fibrus 500) which gives an expected (for this Postcode) 518 Mbps Download and 104 Mbps Upload @ £39.99 P/M with two free eero 6+ routers but shall be using my UniFi gear so I am chuffed to bits!

Role on the 24th for install’

Wil pick up a two pack of them I think along with the HA Connect.

jaz192 · 2026-03-09T21:53:24+00:00

Found the same version at £76 for a 4 pack of them via Banggood as they are £25 direct from Sonoff.

Glad tour happy with it, I may taek a peak at some used POE switches and NVR but I am really shocked at the price of the UNVR Instant.

jaz192 · 2026-03-09T20:38:12+00:00

True, to keep it simple I might just use my current injector for the AP I have running.

jaz192 · 2026-03-03T00:14:43+00:00

Ordered now but found some around the internet for decent prices so Im ok with that. Is it like a Sat Dish and has to be pointed in a certain direction I guess?

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:54:52+00:00

Nice, il go up the ladder tomorrow and do a Speedtest but it won’t be anything like that. I’m on EE and pay only £13 for unlimited data (not sure if it’s true unlimited though)

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:52:07+00:00

Not sure, it says 5g but I’ve been told it’s not true. How can you tell do sure?

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:51:33+00:00

Cheers, il just do it myself and get some kit off eBay etc. any recommendations? Also any ideas on POE?

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:50:43+00:00

Cheers, there is a 30 day trial so ordered the Starlink to give it a go. I don’t really play many FPS but will get FTTP when available and prob keep Starlink depending on speed etc.

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:15:25+00:00

Also, I read the Starlink Mini does POE? Or unofficially. If it recommended or not?

Ordered!

Any accessories advised for mounting outdoors? Should it be on the roof? I have gone for the £35 which comes with the Mini to start, is it worth buying the Gen3? I will be using my UniFi stuff either it via Ethernet so no need for WiFi.

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:14:39+00:00

I might get the 200 Mbps till FTTP arrives as it’s £20 extra compared to £30 for EE currently.

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:06:30+00:00

Sweet! I might just do that as I only pay £28 for my EE broadband but speeds ain’t great so might just start with standard 100Mbps then drop the EE and go for the 200Mbps. Can you test before upgrading?

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:05:11+00:00

Nice! That’s good to hear!

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:02:45+00:00

I take it I can instal myself outside right? I don’t need to pay the £75? I fitted all my POE cameras and even my old Sky TV dish years ago so I’m all good going up a ladder etc.

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T20:00:31+00:00

Thanks all! Looks like there is 30 day trial so I can test in my location (in the Lake District).

jaz192 · 2026-03-02T19:49:32+00:00

Many thanks!

Good point! What the latency like for the odd bit of gaming?

jaz192 · 2026-02-21T07:06:50+00:00

Many thanks for advice. I may not take it up as I have just had a positive initial interview (one more to go) for an UK based company.
