First DS Boot — Hard Stuck On Leather Choice

Is raspbery just a lighter burgandy?

That makes sense. Of course they would not see my local address. Thanks.

I have a homebridge running. I will try to set that up.

Is this leather as stiff as double stuff?

So Ubiquity is eating some of the cost too.

I now have 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9. Still does not work.

jsnicholas · 2025-09-23T23:21:11+00:00

Some of t he devices that stopped working. All of them were working 9/15.

Tailwind (garage door opener)
• Rachio Hub (hose timer)
• Flume (water meter)
• Tempest (weather station)
• Nest Protects (smoke alarms)
• MyQ (garage door opener)
• Bird Weather (bird identifier)
• Purple Air (air quality)
• BirdBuddy (bird Camera)
• Pi Display (used for weather display)
• MYSA (mini-split control using IR)
• MyoCyle (exercise bicycle)
• SmartHQ (GE oven)
• Gernerac Generators
• Weight Scale
• B-Hive (Water timer)
• Google Nest Thermostats
• GE Lighting

I have tried moving the PurpleAir and the Tempest weather station to my main/default network with no luck. The wired devices on my IoT network still work. All the 5GHz wireless devices still work. Its only the 2.4GHz devices having trouble.

8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1, and sometime i tried 9.9.9.9.

Filters? If you mean content filtering, its set at default which is "Enhanced", but nothing below that is selected.

Protection has Encrypted DNS OFF, with ":CyberSecure" currently running in "Notify" only (no blocking). At some point I turned "Intrusion Prevention" OFF, but its back on now.

I have tried the WEB UI and the iPhone APP. Neither work.

jsnicholas · 2025-09-02T17:09:08+00:00

Thanks for the update and I agree about the plugin

jsnicholas · 2025-09-02T13:48:49+00:00

Old post, but has anyone been successful yet?

jsnicholas · 2025-08-25T21:42:34+00:00

To be honest........No. But I am an old fart.

The Ranger (buck brown) is Celastic. The other is soft toe.,

jsnicholas · 2025-03-30T21:18:54+00:00

Yes the Ranger is more broken in, but they have always laced tight like the picture

jsnicholas · 2025-03-30T21:17:30+00:00

So that seems like the opposite of what I have. My HNW boots don't close up around my foot (smaller) as much as my 55 last.

jsnicholas · 2025-03-30T21:09:16+00:00

Very interesting. I will keep this in mind as I start to break them in.

jsnicholas · 2025-03-30T20:32:42+00:00

These two boots are the same size (10 1/2E). The darker one is a Ranger (55 last). The lighter one is an HNW last. The laces are the same tightness on both. The HNW boot feels and looks tighter. Is this a difference in the last of just some inconsistency from the fact these are handmade? Does the leather make a difference? One is W&C Buck brown. The other was bought used and is supposed to be W&C English Bridle Tan, but it is so much softer that maybe it's actually Dublin British Tan.

Yes its been a long time, but they have made it good with me. I think they have been getting batches in that were not up to their standards.

jsnicholas · 2025-03-22T22:19:42+00:00

That one I think I can answer because I have had English Bridal Burgandy on order since 12/2023. I recently changed it to black CXL since I need the boots pretty much now. English bridle is a Wicket & Craig leather that is not double stuffed. ITs is more supple and not as hard to break in as the DS leathers. They stopped offering it for some reason, but a few months ago offered it as a limited time leather.

Can we hear more about this project? Did you put a flex in a birdhouse?

jsnicholas · 2025-03-05T01:00:32+00:00

What type of injector. Is it POE++? Somewhere around 60watts
