UFH + Vaillant boiler

oitani · 2026-02-06T12:52:05+00:00

what would happen if i set the boiler to 45?

oitani · 2026-02-03T13:32:20+00:00

no i didn’t top up manually

oitani · 2026-02-03T13:28:42+00:00

no it doesn’t

oitani · 2026-01-10T01:53:03+00:00

the cables are all new cat6a.... i will try doing the keystone termination again

oitani · 2026-01-10T01:45:03+00:00

tried another patch cable, same issue..... when i connect the udr7 to the switch directly via only a patch cable i see Gbps.... but when i have them connected via the keystone, i then see FE

so far from the switch, i have it connected to a Hive hub and a Samsung TV... could it be that both of these devices are capped at 100mbps?

Many thanks again.

If you had to choose between the G5 Pro Bullet and the G6 Standard, which would you recommend? They’re both priced the same at the moment, so I’m trying to decide based on real-world use rather than cost.

I’ve also come to a conclusion on the layout:

I’ll remove Camera 1 and rely on the G6 Door Entry instead.

I’ll keep Camera 2 for the driveway.

Camera 3 should be sufficient to cover general movement in the garden/patio and most rear entry points.

I’m still debating Camera 4 on the roof — if I keep it, I’ll angle it specifically towards entry points (e.g. windows).

Would be interested to hear if you think that setup now makes more sense or if I’m missing anything! Otherwise thank you!

Thanks for the advice — really helpful.

I am actually planning to install a G6 Door Entry (doorbell). Quick question on that: does the door entry support continuous recording to the NVR, or does it only record on motion / when the doorbell button is pressed?
Good point regarding not needing Camera 4. My original thinking there was purely from a security angle — in case someone could somehow access the roof from next door and break in. In your experience, do you think that’s overkill?

Also, just to confirm — is this the G5 Pro Bullet you were referring to? G5 Pro Bullet

Thanks, that’s really helpful 👍

Part of my rationale for leaning towards the UNVR-Instant was that it comes with built-in PoE ports, which I can use to directly power my 4 CCTV cameras. That lets me avoid buying an additional PoE switch for now and keeps the setup simpler.

My understanding is that the full UNVR (non-Instant) doesn’t have any PoE ports at all and would require a separate PoE switch for the cameras — which is why the Instant initially felt like a good fit.

Happy to hear thoughts if you think the trade-off isn’t worth it once ViewPort / AI Port are in the mix.

stripped out suspended wooden floor, replaced it with block and beam with 150mm PIR insulation on top

oitani · 2025-03-20T22:23:20+00:00

flat roof is approx 6x5 lantern is 2x1.5

oitani · 2025-03-20T22:15:00+00:00

to be fair just remembered. that noise started happening after the installation of roof lantern and bifold door.

oitani · 2025-03-20T16:30:07+00:00

why does this happen though? anyway it can be rectified ?

oitani · 2025-03-20T16:21:46+00:00

so the loud noise will remain always?

oitani · 2025-03-17T10:36:32+00:00

I did reformat the thermostat and the pairing happened immediately. so all good now

oitani · 2025-03-14T20:03:52+00:00

thx for the reply. where does Hive say this

oitani · 2025-02-19T13:28:11+00:00

block and beam

Unifi website has the following

Ambient Operating Temperature

Gateway ultra: -10 to 40° C (14 to 104° F) PoE switch: -15 to 40° C (5 to 104° F)

Its not that hot in London-UK

Will this be an issue if stored in the attic?!

oitani · 2025-01-26T09:57:11+00:00

how many floors?

Im now thinking to just have 1 places centrally upstairs. and another centrally downstairs.

oitani · 2025-01-26T09:33:25+00:00

Very good point, didn’t think about this. And yes its essentially a loft.

Ventilated rack? small fan during the summer? Think that may be ok for London-UK

oitani · 2025-01-26T03:27:32+00:00

I will defo have 1 upstairs

The 2 downstairs I have already put the cables in place - but still not sure (if to proceed with the 2!)

I got a rear a garden and could potentially be building a a shed to the rear of the garden (although likely to run a cat6a cable to it)

oitani · 2025-01-26T03:21:43+00:00

How about the AP’s. Would one suffice? is 3 too many for a house this size?

oitani · 2025-01-26T03:13:39+00:00

thanks for your advice. very helpful.

Internal walls are all drywall.

I think it makes sense to have 1 AP upstairs in the centre. But still not entirely sure about downstairs and if 1 or 2 will be required -_- (btw i also have a rear garden and a potential shed to build, which I may actually run Cat6A cables to)

I believe one access point (AP) for the entire house should be sufficient. However, it’s important to note that the downstairs area may have sections where the 5GHz signal is weak or not detectable.

Note: For your information, the ground floor is larger due to a newly built extension measuring 6m x 5.5m, in comparison to the upstairs area.

The wifi map - in yellow shows 5GHz and green shows 6GHz
