So I had to use a TP-Link access point to get the Nest Connect working finally but I have no idea why. It just flat out refuses to connect to any of the Unifi APs. Does anyone know why that could be? 
It's not the worst thing ever since having a dedicated access point for IoT devices is a lot more secure, but also seems kinda stupid that I'm just using it for one thing.
Hardwire anything important. Especially security systems and cameras. Yes it’s a pain. But it’s worth it. Unifi isn’t perfect. But it’s surprisingly good, and keeps getting better. And the prices are fair.
BONUS: If/when that ecosystem goes to hell, the cable is run for whatever’s next.

I will say, I wasn't 100% sure I'd like Unifi routers after setting a few up for family. Been running APs and Switches for years though
For Family it has been great, I can access their config remotely and diagnose any issues from the app or the web.
What I never liked was the routing rules. They just made no sense when coming from PFSense.
Seems the 9.0 update fixes a lot of this headache. I bought a UCG Max and replaced my PFSense router with only a few hours of config and tweaking.
Trop content de voir cet article sortir ! Vive #Uniquiti et #UniFi !

My blog post documenting my attempts to get #Unifi #CCTV working on a #raspberrypi has just gone live. It's a bit of a read but I'm hoping it might help folks that are looking to do something similar given a lot of the online documentation and forums appear to be old and with out of date info.

My aging #Ubiquiti Edgerouter-X is failing. So, I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to set up a new #Unifi Gateway Max without success. I'm returning it.
I decided to just get a #miniPC with dual 2.5Gbe and install #Opnsense on it. (This guy: https://a.co/d/431PbIV)
I'm hoping it arrives early because I'm not sure the Edgerouter will last until next month. I've also never used Opnsense, so this will be another grand experiment.
Maybe I'll install it in a VM on Proxmox for now so I can FAFO.
So I've made some improvements, reducing the streams from 1080p to 360p seems to help a lot in terms of it not massively lagging but the quality of the stream is still pretty bad and the latency is terrible even on "Low latency mode". I think I'm going to have to go back to the original plan which was to try to get it to work in-browser using the #Unifi native viewer in the web browser which is a lot less ideal and a lot less streamlined but the feeds are already lagging 15 seconds behind and dropping and I can no longer see an obvious bottle neck on the pi's side...
Hi Internet!
Are you like me, and have a big dumb contrived unifi network at home?
has the controller ever shit the bed on you, or have you ever lost your controller? I was running mine in docker on a syno array, which had btrfs issues and the partition 'crashed'. so no more controller.
so i took an aluminum bat to chatgpt for several hours yesterday in addition to a bunch of manual editing and came up with this: a unifi probe shellscript

Finalement, j'ai claqué du pognon sur un produit neuf qui correspondait mieux à mes besoins (Cloud Gateway Fiber pour les curieux).
J'ai hâte de tester ça, même s'il faut être honnête, ça ne me servira à rien tant que la fibre n'arrive pas. Allez, elle est dans la rue, y a plus grand-chose à faire ! 
Anfangs war ich ein Fan von UniFi, jetzt nach fast 6 Jahren geht's mir einfach nur noch auf die Nerven.
Gibt es Gegenmeinungen?
I finally got around to putting my #Ubiquiti #UniFi controller on a current #MongoDB release. Went from version 3.6 to 8.
Rather than go through the in-place database upgrade steps, I just did a new controller install and restored a backup of my config onto it.
The "official" instructions are quite outdated so I ended up following these steps. Worked like a charm. https://www.reddit.com/r/UNIFI/comments/1deaeoj/how_to_guide_installing_unifi_network_application/?rdt=36295
Just be sure to replace all occurrences of '7.0' with '8.0' if you want to be on the latest MongoDB.
Je cherche une Dream Machine Pro/SE, est-ce quelqu’un par ici aurait ça à un prix raisonnable ? Bonus non négligeable, l’appareil sera probablement pris en photo dans mes articles pour MacGeneration.
Je ne cherche plus, merci ! 
Finally freed my #Unifi Ultra Switch from the cable ties! 
My #HomeLab has grown way beyond the clean and simple setup from 1.5 years ago. Time to optimize — but let’s be real, a HomeLab is never done.
