I recently bought a G6 Entry and plugged it in in my office to bench test it. I noticed pretty quickly how warm it got. I came to the interwebs and found it has a heater of some kind internally that is supposed to run for 6 hours or so to make sure there's not moisture (or something like that). I left it and went about our holiday weekend (and kind of forgot about it) and came back this morning and check on it. I originally plugged it in Thursday morning, it's now Sunday morning and it's still hot. The temp in my office is about 65 degrees F. I used my infrared thermometer and it's showing the outside temp is up to 127 degrees F. I reached out to Unifi Support this morning and they said that this is completely normal, and up to 140 degrees F is still within normal range. Like, even the doorbell button is noticeably warm. It's not even outdoors yet where the temp is 90+ degrees this week so I assume it will get warmer. Can y'all put my mind at ease. Is this really normal?

My current doorbell has died and I decided to dive a little deeper into my Unifi ecosystem and replace it with the G6 Entry. My front door just has the 2-wire doorbell wiring and I don't see any easy way for me to run Ethernet from the door to my rack. I believe I've found two options that'll work to accomplish this, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Looking for advice on which method is better, and if its the second option, I have a related question. If it matters, I'm in an upper midwest state so outside and in my garage can get pretty chilly.

First is the Device Bridge. I think I can pretty easily run Ethernet from the doorbell into my garage where I can hook up the Device Bridge and get it to connect to my downstairs AP which would be about 25' away with one interior wall between them.

Second option is the PoE Over 2-Wire Retrofit Extender. I have easy access to my doorbell transformer and it's very close to my rack making the transmitter side a breeze. With my home, I think I'll probably have to 3D print a box to enclose the 'receiver' end and mount it behind the doorbell outside. My one question with this method would be, where my chimes box thing is, would I need to bypass the chimes? Or will PoE power and data pass through that?
