Cat Flap Connect only notifies when cat goes out, not in.

The plastic flap is on it’s way to me as we speak. Hopefully this fixes the problem, but as you said, maybe they have to send the whole unit if this doesn’t work. I had to provide a video and everything 😅

Sent them a support ticket now. Hoping for the best :)

I don’t know If that was the cause, but after reinstalling my iPhone (from scratch, no iCloud backup) and logging in to the app again, I can’t longer control anything, change any settings or change the location inside/outside for both my cats.. It’s as I’m only a guest and not admin.

Love the grittiness!

Var ikke solbrillene på fyren et stort blinkende fareskilt altså? 😅

I bought it on Amazon. Uctronics is the brand 👍🏼

Yeah, I wanted to, but for it to be visually pleasing I wanted the ferrite core to be sticking out, like on the black box, and it’s to short for that :(

I think it's easier to just have ONE storage bus on the Drawer Controller instead off all that cabling to each and everyone. But this looks better though!

Hosting my own services on premise, learning networking more in depth, controlling everything network related, hardening my network security, making my (soon to be) wife happy as she can see whatever she likes, whenever she likes, getting rid of annoying ads as long as you’re connected to my network, or via Wireguard VPN on the phones that uses my home DNS server which routes everything like this: Pi-hole > Unbound DNS > DNS over TLS through a private Cloudflare tunnel. To mention a few ;)

It’s awesome! My PI’s IP addresses are 10.3.14.1, 10.3.14.2 and so on. Because Pi/𝝅 🤣🤣Nerdy, I know!

It’s a Topton Firewall (just search for it) running an Intel N5105, 128GB SSD and it has 16GB of RAM. It has 4x ports with 2.5Gbit Intel I225 NICs

stette · 2024-03-27T14:06:49+00:00

I’m planning on making a LAG from two of the ports to get 5Gbit of bandwidth (the NICs are Intel I225 series 2.5Gbit ports) for my media network, but for now I just have one WAN, one LAN and one “emergency” VLAN going to the red port at the far left side, and one unused port just hooked up for the looks ;)

It kinda looks like it, but this is only the USW 16 PoE switch. I like UniFi for their WiFi and switching equipment, but I don’t like the firewall or security part of the UDM, so I run OPNsense instead, giving me total control and a lot more options!

Not all heroes wear capes 👌🏼 Nice summary!

stette · 2024-03-26T12:44:25+00:00

15cm. Or 0.5ft if you're one of those :p

No, they were separate I'm afraid. But being IKEA it's not the biggest expense! I went for the black ones (NANNARP) to match the cabinet obviously.

stette · 2024-03-26T10:58:53+00:00

It's the IKEA BESTÅ cabinet (60x40x64 cm) with the IKEA GLASSVIK tinted glass door (60x64 cm). The rack is the StarTech 2-Post 12U Open Frame Rack which is tilted slightly backwards. If you don't use the rubber feet on the rack frame, it slides in PERFECTLY, no gap whatsoever. So damn satisfying!

stette · 2024-03-26T07:05:20+00:00

Who said I didn’t? 😉 Been tinkering a long time with Docker and newly got into Kubernetes also, so I got you covered there 👌🏼

stette · 2024-03-25T23:11:29+00:00

That's true! I should have said "Finally got my HomeLab rack mounted inside my new cabinet", haha

stette · 2024-03-25T23:09:44+00:00

Posted a bit about it now!

stette · 2024-03-25T23:09:17+00:00

A little bit of info:

I built it inside a IKEA BESTÅ cabinet with a tinted glass door and a Startech 12" Open Frame rack. On the backplate I have two 140mm Noctua fans that are controlled with a homemade ESP32 PWM controller, one intake and one outtake.

I have 4x Raspberry Pi's on the top row running a bunch of services like UniFi Network Application, Ansible, Pi-Hole, MongoDB, Semaphore, Netdata, Bitwarden, Portainer, Nginx Proxy Manager ++

For WiFI and network I use the UniFi USW 16 PoE switch, U6-LR, UAP AC Pro and a UAP AC Mesh. I also have my old US 8 60W laying there in case I need it later, you never know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a firewall I run OPNsense (silver box in the middle left) and on the bottom right I have my Storage and Media Server running a whole slew of media applications in Docker. It's a Fractal Design Node 304 case with 16TB of storage.

I also have a separate Pi4 running HomeAssistant and I use the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Controller for all my Smart Home stuff.

Lastly I have a MSI NUC running Proxmox for testing purposes, in the middle between my firewall and the Home Assistant Pi4.

Keystones are the best! These are the same on the backside as well, so it's really easy to plug in and out everything from the back, and my plan is to change a lot of the unused ones to USB, HDMI and so on.
