but i didnt go all in on the unifi

terse bobcat Nov 22, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

I wish i discovered HA before i bought the cloud key

stray perch Nov 22, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

I would get Unifi, but when my current router flashed with Tomato works, feel bad replacing it

terse bobcat Nov 22, 2018, 4:34 PM

#

haha that is fair, I work at MSFT as a Hyper-V / Azure architect, so i am biased on what technologies i use based on what i see out there in the real world

#

I have a hyper-v core (free verson) shuttle PC running 1 vm for sophos with SR-IOV (gives you line rate network throughput) and a ubuntu server for kubernets and containers

#

i can do infrastructure, but i suck at the coding side of HA

#

that is my stretch goal for the year haha

stray perch Nov 22, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

ah, cool. I started using Hyper-V on my PC at work for virtualizing, instead of Virtualbox. got a few bugs but there's workarounds

terse bobcat Nov 22, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

if you have any bugs, shoot em at me - likely it is just a configuration or behavior issue

#

as much as i love MSFT - one thing we don't do other big companies do

distant stream Nov 22, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

i loved hyper v, switch to proxmox just to learn it and stayed as most 99% of my lab is linux based but hyper v was great when i used it on server 2012

terse bobcat Nov 22, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

is we build products and tell customers how to use em. other companies build products based on how customers use em

#

hyper-v was trash before 2012 R2

#

<---- vmware certified architect (VCDX) so i can honestly say that

distant stream Nov 22, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

haha

#

see ive never needed replication or enhanced sessions or anything like that

#

liked the ease of use for the networking side

#

wish templates were a thing but w/e

terse bobcat Nov 22, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

yeah but here is the thing, "ease" is just skillset. some ppl keep telling me HA is easier than vera. that is a skill thing

distant stream Nov 22, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

easy enough to copy a vhd

terse bobcat Nov 22, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

but - there are areasons vmware never realeases public performance metrics

distant stream Nov 22, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

l,ol

terse bobcat Nov 22, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

vmware - out of the box - runs for compatability with minimal skillset

#

which i admire

distant stream Nov 22, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

yup

#

def appreciated here

terse bobcat Nov 22, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

hyper-v implies you have a dedicated virtalization team that should know thier stuff

#

ya know how many vmware admins that cant tell me how RSS works? or how resource gorups work? or what numa spanning is? haha

#

vmware is AWESOME for the smbs because of this 😃

distant stream Nov 22, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

for someone with minimal windows knowledge i was pleased with how easy hyper v was to get up and running

stray perch Nov 22, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

As my company is currently migrating to Windows 10, still got Windows 7 clients, so have to run Win7 guests.
Sometimes you boot and the login screen is completely blank, (Control +Alt+Delete) fixes it though.
Other issue is when running windows 7 sometimes it glitches out, while using and screen goes to the Starting windows logo and stays there.

terse bobcat Nov 22, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

that is just patching. most hyper-v chaps never update integration components

#

and ya know we only support 6 months out of date

#

because most hyper-v chaps dont know how to push integration componets via WSUS

#

so they never get patched 😦

#

anyway - think the wife just broke a pie plate! If you ever have any MSFT questoins, I can help. SOmeday, ill know enough about HA to be useful there too 😉

does it have any key features over alexa?

proven spruce Nov 23, 2018, 9:32 AM

well, i mean the google equivalent of fire tv and echo in one

#

dunno the google names exactly

proven spruce Nov 23, 2018, 9:56 AM

#

every android tv (fire tv equivalent) has google assistant (alexa) built in

#

the only issue is some of them cannot wake on voice and you need to press a button on the remote instead

chilly lance Nov 23, 2018, 9:57 AM

#

i'd like to have a device that sits next to my projector and listens to voice

proven spruce Nov 23, 2018, 9:58 AM

you can always combine google home mini and a chromecast to achieve similar functionality

#

google home mini listens and does and chromecast displays stuff

orchid rose Nov 23, 2018, 9:58 AM

#

ye, I have both even though I rarely use the chromecast

#

mini is probably a safer bet when it comes to voice recognition as well compared to some random mics in a tv

chilly lance Nov 23, 2018, 10:00 AM

#

i'm a bit weary that google will disable voice activation on the whole because of security concerns

#

i think they disabled it for a while on their boxes and recently on the pixel phones

proven spruce Nov 23, 2018, 10:00 AM

that would just completely destroy the concept though

i think its only targeted on mobile phones

since you keep a lot of personal data on them

@proven spruce you were talking about remote-ftp plugin for Atom before. I'm getting permission denied errors when trying to save via SFTP connection. Any idea how I escalate permissions?

proven spruce Nov 27, 2018, 12:00 PM

#

there are a couple ftp remote plugins

#

but the basic idea is to setup your server and login with a username that has permissions to edit HA files over sftp... its basically winscp built in

#

i'm using the ftp remote with less downloads than the first one, cant tell you the name since i'm at work now

ruby finch Nov 27, 2018, 12:02 PM

#

with winscp I can tell it to sudo command on save

#

but I can't see a config option with this SFTP editor

oh actually, I see a "remoteshell"

chip is prolly fine it just desoldered from the board

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 1:30 PM

#

if i got a unifi edge router, connected to a "normal" switch from another brand, connected to a unifi switch and unifi AP, can i still set up vlan's propperly? and restricting devices from eachother? or will the "normal random brand switch" ruin everything?

#

not sure how it works, does all internal network traffic always go through the router also or will it just go to the normal switch and than that does not know about vlan rules?

#

or is it because of the different subnets that it always goes to the router?

#

i prettymuch want to set up afew vlan's, 1 for my "main" network, then one for IoT devices that requires internet but not reaching my main network, then another for IoT that does not require internet either (sonoff and nodemcu stuff for example, that would only require connecting to a specific MQTT port on specific ip of the main network"

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:06 PM

#

It depends if the "normal brand switch" passes the vlan data correctly assuming you're using 802.11q tagging

#

You could also tag the uplink port from the normal brand switch with another smart switch. ie, plug all of the isolated stuff into the normal brand switch, and then when that uplinks to the edgeswitch, tag that port with a vlan.

VLAN and unmanaged switch

#

basically, what @languid sphinx said, but with more explanation.

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

thanks i'll look into this 😃 i was thinking of doing what you said there jquagga of using unmanaged switch for an entire vlan and then have that to the edgerouter, but came to the issue i need to go router -> unmanaged -> both IoT stuff and main network stuff sadly 😦

hearty depot Nov 27, 2018, 2:44 PM

#

@west moss What youre doing - or where started the discussion?
intresing because ive got the same setup

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:45 PM

#

@west moss And also, which edgerouter do you have?

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:45 PM

#

well i want to secure my network abit, dont want random IoT stuff to have internet access, nor have access to my main network where i got NAS and servers

#

internal servers that is 😃

#

dont have the edge router atm, looking to get one, but beeing able to do this stuff is one of the main reasons, so wanted to make sure it would work first 😛

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

I try to buy things which are mostly local control so I have iot things on the main network. They are blocked from accessing the internet via firewall rules though

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

but from what i understand, id my "normal" switch support 802.11q i should be fine either way right?

hearty depot Nov 27, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

I made some firewall rules for this (mostly the dash buttons)
Thinking bout vlaning stuff - but atm there is no need - I like it that I can acsess my IOT stuff

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

jqugga thats what i have atm to, blocking all IoT stuff with firewall, and also try to buy as little cloud using crap as possible

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

@west moss yes but you wouldn't be able to control which vlans items plugged into the individual switch ports of normal switch are on

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

but tbh, i'd preffere them seperate from my main stuff either way

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

That's fine, but you have to set up routing between the vlans if you want to say, control your iot gizmo from a device on your main lan (or have your home assistant machine on both vlans)

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

but my edgerouter can assign new devices to a vlan? and then the normal switch will keep them on it?

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

No, the unifi switch would assign them at the point of entry OR the unifi UAP can tag devices when they connect to say a second access point

#

The latter is what I have setup for guest networks here.

mighty summit Nov 27, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

devices don't get assigned to a VLAN, network ports do

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

my plan was to:
main network -> can acces all vlans and wan
IoT1 network -> can access MQTT port on home assistant local ip only
IoT2 network -> can access internet and MQTT port on home assistant local ip

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

If the main network can access the whole vlan, then the devices on that vlan can also access the devices on main network unless you set up firewall rules

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

:/ i realy dont wanna throw out my 24port switch 😦 pretty freaking expensive those are 😛

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

Which, realistically you can do with or without the vlanning

#

Once 802.11bz gets affordable we'll all be replacing our switches anyway heh

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

firewall rules would only work if all traffic came throu the edgerouter

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

802.3bz rather

#

Your devices can have a local firewall

hearty depot Nov 27, 2018, 2:53 PM

#

I "replaced" my modem with the edgerouter - the ISP router in single user mode

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:53 PM

#

lthough your way would work with vlans and the edgerouter routing and acting a firewall between the vlans

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

so basically, my best idea would be to edgerouter connects to 2 switches, 1 that is unmanaged and runs my "main" network, the second is a unifi switch that connects to both IoT devices, and unifi AP (and possibly other main network devices)

#

i could solve that with just buying 1x 4port unifi switch tbh, would be the most cost effective

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

If your unmanaged switch will trunk vlans (support 802.11q that is), then the UAPs could go on the unmanaged switch too. They tag packets at they leave the UAP

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

problem is how the wires are drawn

#

i got 1 wire from my server room up to the attic, then there i would put an unifi switch, this swithc would go to 3 ip cameras (IoT devices that should be on seperate vlan) and 1 UAP

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 2:58 PM

#

The unifi switch will support trunking so, it can tag all of the data as it leaves that unifi switch. The question then is, can the unmanaged switch which I'm assuming is down by your internet access / router pass those packets along without messing with the 802.11q tags

#

Or you can buy an edgerouter with an integrated switch

#

Plug the feed from the attic into port 2 and the unmanaged switch into port 3

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 2:59 PM

#

yea that last option is what i was thinking

languid sphinx Nov 27, 2018, 3:00 PM

#

The ER-X is the cheapest option there and works fine unless you have an internet connection over 500Mbit or something

west moss Nov 27, 2018, 3:00 PM

#

edge router goes both to attic and to unmanaged switch, then the unmanaged swithc goes to my patchpanel that feeds into the other rooms of the house (my "main" network)

#

and on attic both unifi switch and UAP would handle vlans and such

wet pilot Nov 27, 2018, 3:04 PM

#

could swap out the dumb switch for a managed one?

#

sounds like you have a lot of ports though

ruby finch Nov 27, 2018, 3:05 PM

#

Any chance of some help with the following syntax?

    "remoteShell": "sudo su -",

This is the remote-ftp plugin for Atom. I copied that line straight from WinSCP but it doesn't work. Any idea how I can use sudo to escalate file-write requests within the "remoteshell" bit?

wet pilot Nov 27, 2018, 3:23 PM

i'm not sure atom supports that

mighty summit Nov 27, 2018, 3:33 PM

mighty summit Nov 27, 2018, 3:35 PM

but you still neet to get the POE into the netork cabling...or else your splitter will have no effect

@mighty summit I can run power, and a network cable, but I need to supply both power and lan to one usb-c input on tablet.

mighty summit Nov 27, 2018, 3:45 PM

#

@solemn gust your startech dongle does that.

solemn gust Nov 27, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

Sounds great, I get it now. Was trying to do with POE, but that is not necessary for my spot, just supply the ethernet, and then a reguar usb-c charge cable into Startech device?

@hearty depot i fixed many of those gpu's by taking em off and reballing em correctly then resoldering em

#

@last plaza yup thats digi modes i got a couple of those hats and a tncpi

#

@hearty depot the problem with those is apple cheaped out having the boards made and they warp with heat and rip the solder balls off the board

hearty depot Nov 28, 2018, 8:01 AM

#

Pew.. I defenitly dont got the equipment needed for reballing - I dont mind to leave the dedicated GPU behind - Thinking about removing the r8911 (when I understood it right the voltage regulator)
I would love to know if i have to patch the kernel afterwards when I do this

which ubiquiti router do you all recommend?

hearty depot Nov 28, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

ER-X-SFP 5 to 6 ports ad the SPF could get useful in the future

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 8:26 AM

#

so the ER-X is powerfull enough?

#

i was looking at the EdgeRouter Pro 8

#

i'd preffere if it was powerfull enough to run openvpn (both as client and server if possible)

#

or atleast as client, and then pptp vpn server

hearty depot Nov 28, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

IPsec Site-to-Site is in place - I think enabeling the Vpn server is just a click

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter 4 looks pretty nice also

#

yea think the ER4 it is, seems faster than the ER-X, and only 100$ more

#

and i can rackmount it for just 30$ more

hearty depot Nov 28, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

I always try go as cheap as possible (and hack it then in some way or an other )
only some times I have to buy the real deal

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 8:36 AM

#

as for switches, is there any advantage going edgeswitch vs unfi switch?

#

yea, but for a router i'd preffere abit more horsepower 😛

#

and i'll get the stuff at pretty darn good prices anyway 😛

wet pilot Nov 28, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

Gigabit connection here so I'm eyeballing the ER4

#

ER-X can only really do 1gb combined throughput

hearty depot Nov 28, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

Wrong Person to ask to be honest - I`m more then happy with my ER-X and the small Unify AP.

#

30Mbit/s Down max - so...

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 8:43 AM

#

the main thing i want from my switch is to have port-based vlans, can both unifiswitch and edgeswitch do this?

distant stream Nov 28, 2018, 8:54 AM

#

Yes

#

I run an er pro and an edgeswitch

quiet cobalt Nov 28, 2018, 8:54 AM

Procrastinating to the best 😄 got the Google calender integraded?

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 9:01 AM

#

well after some googling it seems the unifi switches support portbased vlans

#

@distant stream can you manage the edgeswitch from the controller like the unifiswitch? or is it only its own gui page?

hearty depot Nov 28, 2018, 9:02 AM

#

wasnt shure - so no awnser - its a unify.. da you need also the software?

quiet cobalt Nov 28, 2018, 9:03 AM

#

really don't need goodle calender but see got it but then tho oh I don't need it lol

#

@hearty depot alias: snake_feed trigger: - platform: time at: "19:05:00" action: - data: entity_id: switch.washing service: switch.turn_on

#

but HA keep coming up with errors

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 9:04 AM

#

the edgemax series seems more customisable, than the unifi stuff, but they also need to be configured in their own gui from what i understand, not all configured from the same controller gui like the unifi series

#

edgemax is the edgerouter and edgeswitch

distant stream Nov 28, 2018, 9:50 AM

#

They're is a unified controller for the edgemax series now

#

UNMS

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 9:51 AM

#

oh shit realy

distant stream Nov 28, 2018, 9:51 AM

#

I have not used it however

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 9:51 AM

#

any idea if it can do a mix of both? UAP's with edgemax switch and edgemax router

distant stream Nov 28, 2018, 9:53 AM

#

I do not think so

#

Just edgemax iirc

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 10:14 AM

#

ah well, guess i'll just go with edgerouter and then unifi for the switches

#

lets me controll everything except router in same controller

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 10:28 AM

#

Why are you mixing?

#

Unifi is edge with a nicer ui. Anything you can do on unifi.... just some of it requires ssh command (same as it does on edge) the basic stuff is on the ui

light trout Nov 28, 2018, 10:31 AM

#

Because he/she can? 😜

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 10:32 AM

#

from what i read the edgerouter can do alot more than the USG

#

and alot more from the gui atleast making it easier to manage

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 10:36 AM

#

If you are going unifi aps stay with unifi. Makes life easier. Double check what you "need/want" from the router and if you arent going to use the extra features in the edgerouter then why bother.

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 10:37 AM

#

well i wanted to use the dnsmasq on the edgerouter and from what i understand you cant on the usg

#

and also more advanced firewall ruling

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 10:37 AM

#

Just FYI I have a USG and 1000/1000 internet the USG is a limit and if I turn on the intrusion prevention thing I drop the speed significantly

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 10:39 AM

#

because i want to link my external url to my internal ip, so requests to my external url from local network never actually leave my router and goes out on the web

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 10:42 AM

#

Head over to the ubnt discord will be some pretty schooled up people over there. I only use the basic features and I would prefer the XG (I just cant afford it) so I could use it to its full potential while keeping throughput

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

yea the xg aint cheap 😛 quite abit overkill for my private network to tho 😛

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 10:52 AM

#

Intrusion Prevention kills the hardware... Turning it on on the usg slows the throughput from 1000 down to 80+-

#

The XG slows to 1000 (which is why I want it)

#

Warning: Enabling IDS/IPS will affect the device maximum throughput. USG: 85 Mbps, USG-Pro: 250 Mbps, USG-XG-8: 1 Gbps.

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

waht exactly does the intrusion prevention do?

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 11:14 AM

#

Terrible example lol... just google it. But it pretty much is what it says Intrusion Prevention system

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:15 AM

btw unifi, what do u guys with devices that only work with wps?

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 11:16 AM

wps button sry

afaik is there no option or anything to emulate that

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:18 AM

#

there are devices that only work with wps? never heard of that

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:19 AM

#

some stupid aircons e.g.

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 11:19 AM

#

There are but WPS is insecure. Which is why unifi doesnt support it.

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:21 AM

#

well the psk is a onetime thing.. surly you can take the time to enter it ones

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:22 AM

#

hm i add another ssid with a short passwd and disbale it after the backup

#

I think that's the most convenient solution

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:23 AM

#

that would also be one solution

#

dont you already have a guest ssid btw? that would probbly use a simpler psk?

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:23 AM

#

nope

#

an iot net and my wifi

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:27 AM

Guest networks 😛

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:32 AM

oh they usually get full access

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:34 AM

whats the point of a advanced password if you give it to everyone -.-'

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:34 AM

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 11:36 AM

#

Lol... but that is just pointless... I have this super secure wifi over here.... or you want full access just connect to that one the password is password

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:36 AM

#

^what he said 😄

#

Might aswell print the password and put it up on the wall 😄

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

if I enter the password for them?

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

your still giving them full acces to your network man... and also passwords can be fetched ones saved i believe

#

you realy dont want untrusted devices on your main network

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 11:38 AM

#

If it is android they can view it. if it is apple they can share it.... Also fuck having to put it in every time. People should be able to just show up and use it. Without having to worry about people you dont want in your network being able to do anything other than browse the web

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:38 AM

#

don't you give full access to closest relatives?

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:38 AM

#

hell i dont even use my android phone on my main network.. its on the guest network.. i got no need for it on the main

#

why?

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:39 AM

#

the need to have access to HA and the nas for example

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:39 AM

why would my mom with 0 computer skill need to access my main network with her virus filled devices?

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 11:40 AM

If they dont live in the house they only get guest because why do they want to do anything other than internet? And for people who live in the house they get 2.4ghz with a seperate ssid and password while I hog the 5ghz

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:40 AM

#

put it on a seperate vlan, and then if you need some kind of access, then alow only that to only the specifik ip and port

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:40 AM

#

yeah but for that I need a managed switch

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:41 AM

#

put stuff like printer on 1 vlan, then have that accessable from both main network and guest network, then even guests can borrow your printer, but they cant access your NAS and such

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 11:41 AM

#

Unifi allows specific ip's to be available to guest network.

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:42 AM

#

yeah but before that i need another ap

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:43 AM

#

you're basically allowing anyone with any kind of computer skill into your network, without knowing anything about the security of their devices, they could be full of malware for all you know

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:43 AM

#

they are not

#

3 laptops and 2 phones

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 11:44 AM

#

Ok.

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:45 AM

#

but you guys are right, network security could be optimized

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:46 AM

#

well the main thing to keep in mind is that hte chain is only as secure as the weakest link... your network can be superduper secure, but if you forget just 1 simple thing the whole thing is completly unsecure and can come down like a house of cards

#

and its also not only about things not getting in, its also things not getting out you want to think about... for example i see no reason why my TV needs internet, so i block it off

quartz ether Nov 28, 2018, 11:48 AM

#

No netflix?

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:48 AM

#

maby it autoupdates firmware, and that cloud serice gets compromised, then my tv is a security risk

#

i use a HTPC for stuff like that

#

and youtube and so on

gloomy canyon Nov 28, 2018, 11:49 AM

#

yeah same here no device has internet beside the kodi

west moss Nov 28, 2018, 11:51 AM

#

i also got bandwidth limits on the guest network, so if someone would get in to use that just for free internet, it will be superslow, then i manually need to swap the device over to another user group in unifi controller to give it more speed

They didn't fold it in two - that's pretty good for the UK Post Office

ruby finch Nov 28, 2018, 6:42 PM

It was DHL. Looks like it was dropped and stepped on to me

#

Not sure you can see too well but the corners of the box are all squished and broken

clever mortar Nov 28, 2018, 6:43 PM

Yeah, it looks it. I'd certainly be complaining about that one

pure vine Nov 28, 2018, 7:02 PM

@clever mortar im planning to get a larg items lock box out the frount of my house for the postman to put large items in, as the issue is that our letter slots in the uk are too small for most items

#

also becuse weve had hermies put a parcel in our food waste bin

clever mortar Nov 28, 2018, 7:06 PM

#

Yeah, we've had parcels left in the recycling bin a few times

#

Mostly it's HDNL/Yodel we've had issues with, the rest of them (even Amazon) aren't too bad

pure vine Nov 28, 2018, 7:07 PM

#

I might make a sulution where the box is locked until either the postman scans their ID for their company or the parcel barcode is scanned and confirmed or just leave it as a normal box and put a camrea in it

wet pilot Nov 28, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

if there are steps to open it, i can't imagine delivery folks would use it

#

if anything, i'd set a rule to lock 1m after open/close

pure vine Nov 28, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

I might just make a system like those magic vanishing boxes

#

so opening it looks empty, but when you close the lid, it allows the parcel to drop into annother section and then it looks empty when it is opened again

#

there will then be a locked door that i will open to get them out

wet pilot Nov 28, 2018, 8:03 PM

that could work

ruby finch Nov 28, 2018, 8:33 PM

vague ginkgo Nov 28, 2018, 10:35 PM

@ruby finch if you're in the states, getting a USPS, FedEx, and UPS account is great for that too. You can have that in your delivery preferences and have it be remembered even if the shipper doesn't specify it

pure vine Nov 28, 2018, 11:44 PM

i would have a ring, if it wasnt soo slow

#

currently looking for a DIY solution

quartz ether Nov 29, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

Everything still depends on the driver... all our packages get instructions on where to leave them. Almost always someone is home and yet they still just drop a card in the letter box and leave no knocking or anything. I had a $400 package left in the letter box when it was a signature required but had said no sig if left at the front door. (I have a ring but they dont make it to the door to use it)

#

With ring if you set the zones for motion up correctly you can get notified before they even get to the door. (I have it so when a car comes up the drive I get a notification)

you can also mount premade smaller antennas in the attic

also as a ham you can mount a ham antenna as per fcc regulations they cannot deny you a ham radio antenna

it might help if you volunteer at your local EOC

does he have antennas up?

at 1200w there is a good possibility you can kill a small person

sorry to hear that... I am in process of redoing my whole set up. moving from a hassio on rp3 to a virtual machine with a virtual environment install

debating ubuntu or debian as the base os for it

I just did that myself, from pi with hassio to home assistant on ubuntu

so much faster with restarts

I didnt do a VM on the pc though,

#

not really sure what the point of doing it is though so probably should have

#

seems so many people do that

royal hatch Nov 30, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

well

#

my original reason is that I had linux stuff running on ubuntu... and I wanted to get blue iris (windows only) running as well

#

but I only have 1 physical machine

rose comet Nov 30, 2018, 12:07 AM

#

ah

royal hatch Nov 30, 2018, 12:07 AM

#

so I had to use virtual machines to get them both on there

rose comet Nov 30, 2018, 12:07 AM

#

makes sense

#

I went with docker and so far everything I need can run on docker containers in linux

royal hatch Nov 30, 2018, 12:08 AM

#

nice... I have used docker a bit... but I have come to the conclusion for most of my purposes it just complicates things, but it really depends what it is.

#

that being said I am planning to use docker... but not as much as I was before

rose comet Nov 30, 2018, 12:09 AM

#

I felt that way too until I setup portainer, then I was like... oh okay this seems worth it now

#

plus I really just did it to learn something new

#

but yea, I have 3 google devices and 3 amazon devices, trying to just call it and pick one

#

then ill be trading the rest for their counterpart on CL

I really just use them for multiroom spotify ocassionally, and room specific automation announcements + of course voice control

royal hatch Nov 30, 2018, 12:10 AM

don't like things listening to me all the time

@quiet cobalt that's actually @solar stag 's Lovelace. You should DM him.

@hearty depot hangouts is actually super easy, you just gotta set it up with the integrations, and the app specific password

@vapid mirage are you using HA Cloud or the Google Assistant component?

modest herald Dec 1, 2018, 8:24 AM

Is it a good idea to run Home Assistant as a central hub for home related activities (not just automation)? I get that to a point it's build to solve that problem and I can have iframes to pull in other information, but is it a good solution for that? I'm talking bulling in panels for banking, pantry inventory, etc ... or am I better off using a more generic solution and pulling panels from Home Assistant into that?

wet pilot Dec 1, 2018, 8:26 AM

#

Might be better going the other way

#

And a lot of sites block iframes these days

modest herald Dec 1, 2018, 8:38 AM

#

Fair enough

#

Might be able to to get away with things in the Lovelace frontend

modest herald Dec 1, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

Yeah, that's what I was thinking ... I had a pet project from about an year ago that kind of was doing something similar to what lovelace does/looks like, but just wondering if it's worth doing anything more on that or just jumping onto lovelace for it and worry only about the data feeds and live with whatever is already available for the UI ...

clever mortar Dec 1, 2018, 8:42 AM

#

Well, Lovelace will replace the stock UI in 0.84

#

Making your extra features work with Lovelace should in the long run be your best approach, because if it's integrated with HA then you can use the full power of HA with it

#

People have already built a banking component (for one UK bank), and there's a shopping list component that may make a good starting point for an inventory one, and so on

does that matter if I have a Hikvision h.265 / h.265+ and Blue Iris that supports it?

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:26 PM

#

nope

#

go for it if you want it

#

as long as you have the hardware for it

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:27 PM

#

I don't want to pigeonhole myself if something goes wrong in the future, but it seems like if I can go the h.265 route I'd get a better picture for less storage

#

so sorry for the n00b question, but do I need particularly good hardware for Blue Iris? The camera does the encoding, right? Does it cost more for BI to process an h.265 stream?

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:28 PM

#

you want hardware with native h265 decode

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:29 PM

#

ah

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:29 PM

#

aka any chipset from intel in the past 3? years

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:29 PM

#

that's good to know, thanks. I'm super overhwlemed trying to set up all my smart home stuff before dry wall goes up on my renovation

umbral yew Dec 1, 2018, 9:29 PM

#

hi peeps

#

just getting into HASS

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:30 PM

#

I think I'll get a separate rack mount server to dedicate to my BI

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:30 PM

#

@tropic hedge don't be, just run the cables

#

decide later

#

simply plan out the camera spots and do your runs

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:31 PM

#

yah, planning out camera spots now

#

which is also kinda tricky

#

(hooray sketchup!)

umbral yew Dec 1, 2018, 9:31 PM

#

abount to flash to RPi; looking for options. the board I'm planning on using is the same one I used for my Google AIY kit, so has that expansion board. planning on setting it up on my lounge TV, since I have a speaker set there I wanna hook into

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:32 PM

#

@tropic hedge the new UBNT cloud key might be a nice option

umbral yew Dec 1, 2018, 9:32 PM

#

is there a way I can use my HASS hub as my google home assistant - not just link to a unit I don't have (yet)?

#

& what can I push out over HDMI?

@fair monolith For what (FWIW I'm going Ubiquiti for the WAPs, gateway, and router)

#

err gateway and switches

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:33 PM

#

@tropic hedge see https://unifi-protect.ubnt.com

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:33 PM

#

ah, yah. Any benefit to ubiquiti over Hikvision?

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:34 PM

#

no idea

#

all I know is that UniFi Protect is stupid simple

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:35 PM

#

I'd definitely like to do any sort of Home Assistant integration I can

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:35 PM

#

should be easy

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:35 PM

#

their nvr sure is cheap

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:36 PM

#

ya, it would be your NVR and your controller for your unifi gear

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:36 PM

#

oh, I was confused why you said cloud key initially

#

huh, that is handy

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:36 PM

#

its the cloud key gen 2

#

😛

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:36 PM

#

Oh jesus, it even includes a 1tb hdd?

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

yep

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

like that is just insanely cheap

#

I'm not the investing type but I've really tempted to invest in ubiquiti

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

pop in a 5 TB drive and not care about storage

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

with smart homes become more of a thing and their awesome SOHO offerings

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

lol

#

I use their cheap USG router and the AC LR

#

home network has never been more stable

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

how's that AC LR working for you?

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

fantastic

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

I was going to go with the AC Lite

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

The nano HDs are the way to go if you can afford it

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

well, 2 AC lites, one upstairs, one down, and eventually an AC Pro or LR outside

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:39 PM

#

use a meshpoint

#

more designed for outside use

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:39 PM

#

what's the benefit of the nano HDs?

#

their site sorely needs a comparison tool

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:40 PM

#

well, AC gen 2 mummo with a theoretical 1.7 GBps sooooo you are going to eventually see your wifi handling about 1 GB/s

#

my LR is gen 1 AC

#

its just future proofing

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

are you using their PoE switches too?

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

not yet, I have gotten my hands on some dirt cheap business grade netgear switches with vlan support etc

#

I know my networking so it was easy for me to set up my IoT vlan etc

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

oh, and on an off chance would you know of a good rack for my weird under-the-stairs setup?

#

hah

#

I'm moslty comfortable with networking (I've got a 15 year old Net+!) but this will be a fun learning experience for sure

#

I'm going to buy a lot of the stuff in advance and set it up in my apartment first

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

as long as you understand the concepts of vlans and basic firewalls, you are good

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

yah, just a few youtube refreshers and guides on doing it with ubiquit and i'll be set

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

aka put your IoT stuff on one vlan and cameras on another

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

for sure

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

finally your personal devices

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

and another guest network

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

yep

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

I can't wait for that part

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

stupid easy to do with unifi gear

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

everything else having to do with home renovation can die in a fire

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:46 PM

#

I love how my router had a 1 click radius server and a couple click l2tp/ipsec vpn

#

no need to pay some provider just because I do not trust the hotel wifi

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

oh, have you had any issues with your cloud key at all? I've heard a lot of bad things about the dongle, I wonder if that extends to their gen 2 one

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

only the gen 1 was trash

#

the issue was power outages and the database running on the thing

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

yah

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

gen 2 has a built in battery and will gracefully shut down

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

that's good to hear

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:51 PM

#

ya, I'm still using the google free tier compute for my controller lol

tropic hedge Dec 1, 2018, 9:51 PM

#

hah, I saw people doing that. I think I'd just resort to running it on my desktop if I had to

fair monolith Dec 1, 2018, 9:52 PM

I want it always on for my logs
