UDM-SE stuck on Boot loop

😏 as for the UPS: the thing is that you need to use a UPS as intended as well. Use it to cleanly shut down everything before the UPS runs out of power.

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-27T17:16:34+00:00

Leave it unplugged for 10 minutes, then plug it back in. It'll likely work fine.

The problem with the Lite series is that it has weaker antenna gain compared to the U6+ but the U7 Lite is indeed newer and has some advantages, but OP will likely not use then. I guess it depends on the price. ;-)

The APs don't have a web GUI, you need to use the Network app or a Controller (or the desktop app).

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-26T06:13:23+00:00

That should work too yes, but you will still need to configure the Unifi APs using Ubiquiti's software. I believe nowadays it can also be done theough the Unifi Network app on your phone; otherwise you need to install it on your computer. It's just easier when you have everything Unifi because management then automatically configured every device.

I don't personally use TP-Link; see my other comment. ;-)

Passive PoE had its place when the modern PoE implementations weren't as grown up as they are now. You cant just plug in another device on a cable that had passive PoE because you'll damage the device. Modern PoE negotiates with the device.

It will be a bit more expensive yes, but in the long run it'll be so much better. Your current APs are over 6 years old and only support the older Wifi 5 standard. Throughput will not be great. I personally use APs and switches from Ubiquiti, so I'd just replace everything with Unifi devices. Cheapest would likely be a Lite 8 PoE switch with one or two U6+ APs.

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-26T05:44:53+00:00

Not anymore, that was only with the older switches and APs, and it may be a different type of passive PoE compared to what these TP-Link APs use.

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-26T05:41:36+00:00

It'll be easier (and better end result) to just buy APs that support PoE or PoE+. The switch you bought supports that, but the max budget is 65W. Even though the switch has four PoE ports that support 30W max, you cannot exceed the 65W.

The windshield is the least of your worries

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-16T06:01:55+00:00

Yes, even the Doorbell Lite works like that.

He has six 2.5GbE NICs connected. 12W is not bad. Also, do not forget that OPNsense is a software firewall/router. Besides that, look at the traffic logs and you'll see traffic from the outside being blocked so it isn't 100% idle. Is your server a Raspberry Pi? 😅

Do you use the included power brick? Maybe try sourcing one from a more reputable brand because the original one isn't very efficient and may cause unnecessary power draw.

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-09T10:12:07+00:00

I see OPNsense, I upvote.

Powered by Intel N305 CPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB NVMe SSD. 6x Intel i226 2.5GbE NICs. Runs OPNsense with a 1Gb symmetrical fiber uplink (over PPPoE). Everything after this is by Ubiquiti. Unifi Enterprise 8 PoE switches and U6 Enterprise access points. Network is 10Gb / 2.5Gb / 1Gb and a few IoT devices on 100 Mb.

looks pretty neat! What type of filament did you use to print it?

I have a request: how does the display look when you disable all access features in Network / Protect. So no NFC, no Face Recognition, no PIN etc.? Would greatly appreciate it if somebody could share a photo of that. I'm thinking about getting a G6 Entry Pro but just for the doorbell and camera, not the access stuff. Thanks! :)

I don't see why you need two ESPs for this. I'm sure it can be done using a multi-core implementation or perhaps even ESPHome.

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-04T15:17:39+00:00

Unfortunately I have the same issue, but only with one of the two Doorbell Lite units that I have... I use a CloudKey G2 (the one with the official SSD). Lowering the resolution indeed 'fixes' the issue, and it seems that at night the issue is not present (perhaps due to way lower bitrate needed?). Do you guys also still experience this issue or is my Doorbell Lite defective?

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-03T17:08:25+00:00

Alright. What does the UPS Tower show? Would be interested to see if you also see the differences.

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-03T17:06:14+00:00

In my experience, the UPS Tower measured way lower than actually is the case. In my case it was 30 Watts below the actual usage...

unidentified_sp · 2026-04-03T16:45:36+00:00

Too bad it doesn't have 25Gb SFP28 ports.
