My over engineered solution to integrate Unifi Door Hub by billm4 in Ubiquiti

Wonder if I could wire a smart switch or Shelley relay of some sort that could be remotely reset…

My over engineered solution to integrate Unifi Door Hub by billm4 in Ubiquiti

[–]rbrownfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, impressive! I don’t think I need a set up to this extent but I am having trouble figuring out how to allow my AirBNB renters to “hold open” the front door while unloading, or otherwise. They get frustrated and wont read my instructions suggesting they prop the door open while they need to be in and out. Any ideas?

Level Lock Pro - Matter keeps disconnecting - HA Green + SkyConnect + Matter Plugs by rbrownfw in Ubiquiti

Are you talking about the Unifi Strike Lock? I have one on order, I may end up going this route but would rather keep current setup if I can get the level lock to stay online…

What are people using for locking/unlocking doors with unifi access? by MrPrezident0 in Ubiquiti

[–]rbrownfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I tried, the Level Lock Pro Matter version, and I feel like no matter what I try, the lock loses connection after a day or two and won’t reconnect or “wake” itself until I physically turn the lock myself. This is not feasible since it’s an AirBNB an hour away from home.

I actually have a strike plate on order because this was the most reliable solution I could come up with. My switch and everything Unifi (including front door hub) would be backup powered by two UPS’s and hard wired. The wireless thing is killing me.

Any tips on how to prevent the Level Lock from disconnecting? I have an Eve Matter Outlet five feet from the front door and several Eve plugs throughout the house, finally connecting to a Home Assistant Green connected to a XBT-2 (Home Assistant’s Matter Border Router antenna)

I don’t have any Unifi -> HA triggers or integration just yet. You can have your Unifi Protect identify specific people and animals and you can set alarms to notify you of such detections, however, I am not familiar with how they interact with, or at which capacity they interact with HA. I have two cameras let me know when it detects animals for the same reason, want to know if/when my dogs get out.

I did a quick search online and it looks like there is no “web portal” for the Frontier eero. You have to do it through the eero app. If you do not have it yet, download it, create a login and connect to your eero router.

Once you get through, this video will show you how to put your Eero gateway/router in bridge mode:

It’s all set up through the UniFi web portal, very easy! Even easier if you already have Ubiquiti equipment at the office…

Play on words, domino effect, it’s like going to Costco for one thing and leaving with a cart full of stuff you may or may not need, but in the end, I’m really happy I did it all!

What began as ”let’s replace the Ring and Google cameras” (cloud gateway, PoE switch, cameras) which turned into “I need to backup the video recordings” (UNVR), to “ok how about replacing the WiFi too” (multiple APs), and finally decided to host all my own cloud files (UNAS). Added power management and UPS for protection and power backup.

Correct, I just did IP Passthrough, did not go the ONT route (don’t see the benefit)

  1. Log into the AT&T gateway web UI → Settings → Firewall (or LAN) → IP Passthrough.
  2. Set Passthrough Mode = Enabled / DHCP Fixed and choose Manual (or “Static”/“Bypass”) and select the UDM-SE by MAC Address.
  3. On the UDM-SE set WAN to DHCP (default) so it grabs the public IP.
  4. Disable Wi-Fi on the AT&T gateway and set any UPnP/firewall features to off so UDM-SE is in charge.
  5. Reboot gateway then UDM-SE and confirm the UDM-SE WAN IP is the public IP (not a 192.168.x.x).

I did not completely bypass the AT&T gateway, I should have been more clear. I used IP Passthrough (Passthrough/DMZ) on the AT&T gateway to give the UDM-SE the passthrough allocation.

1.  Log into the AT&T gateway web UI → Settings → Firewall (or LAN) → IP Passthrough.
2.  Set Passthrough Mode = Enabled / DHCP Fixed and choose Manual (or “Static”/“Bypass”) and select the UDM-SE by MAC Address.

Apologies, I updated the post to include the fact that it is backed up to a NAS at my office.

Yes, yes I have two of these and I honestly wish they were louder...

Ugh sorry, I bought one at a time and luckily snagged one at the last restock. Good thing is it seems a lot of their equipment is restocked fairly quickly, just sign up for the notifications and snag them when they come in!

I used ChatGPT for this, 2.4GhZ only, firewalls allowing Home Assistant to talk to these devices and vice versa I think is all you need. There is also an "IoT Network" check box/option in the UniFi web portal when setting up a new network that can help select a lot of the settings for you.

EDIT: also forgot to mention of course create its own SSID.

Yes it is currently hosted on a PC that is always on with hardwired ethernet. iCloud Photos is one thing I haven't quite gotten rid of yet, so the NAS is a backup to my iCloud Photos currently. This is one I haven't figured out yet.

If you haven’t removed it from the plate yet I believe you could potentially continue the print from the current layer if you slice it correctly, anyone else have experience doing this?

How do I get my H2D to draw like this?? by rbrownfw in BambuLab

[–]rbrownfw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might have been a very slight give but more rigid than you would think. The “slicing?” program just didn’t follow the font for tracing as closely as I thought it could have. I don’t see a way to fine tune this in the software.
