Switch X rack ear screw hole is not threaded

Switch X rack ear screw hole is not threaded

Very minor issue with my newly arrived Switch X. when I went to attach the rack ears one of the screws would not go in. Took a closer look and one of the screw holes is not threaded!

It seems sturdy enough with just three screws on that side so I'm not too concerned.

How is DAP eligibility determined?

I have 3 smoke detectors, they are all the same model. One of them is DAP eligible and in the learning phase. The other two are marked as ineligible for some reason. I have checked and they all connect to the same domains. Why would one be eligible and the rest not?

Would it be possible to make it so we can manually turn on DAP for the devices we want? At least for the learning phase since it doesn't block anything. Then if it turns out it needs more access than is feasible for DAP to manage it can be prevented from moving into optimizing/active phase.

Firewalla Ports showingas inactive under topology

All four of the ports on my Firewalla Gold are populated (WAN, LAN switch, 2x AP7's) but the topology tab makes it look like nothing is connected to it. Would be nice if it would show the port usage and uplink/downlink like the AP7 does.

Ethernet run next to main electrical service line

Will this cause problems setup like this? The Ethernet cable (the grey one circled in red) from the ONT was run inside my house right next to the main 200amp electric service line using the same hole. I guess the installer figured it would be the easiest way to get it inside. The ethernet is only up against the electric cable going through the exterior wall and separates once inside, It is a regular cat5e cable. I have 1gbps service from Verizon and I normally get between 500-800mbps on speedtests.

Extra port on the Switch X?

I'm interested in the upcoming switches and I was wondering what this unlabeled port on the Switch X is for. Is it just a console port, or something more interesting like a dedicated uplink for the Firewalla itself?

Block access for only one device inside of a user group

I have a user setup for with two devices assigned, a phone and a laptop. I want to block shopping and social apps on only the phone, but not the laptop. It does not seem possible to do this since a user is treated the same as a group, and devices in a group cannot have individual rules assigned to them.

The only way I have been able to make it work is by removing the phone from the user and assigning the rules directly to the device. Is it possible to do this while keeping both devices assigned to the user?

Why is there no way to include Pre-tax contributions to goals?

I have a retirement goal setup with all of my various employer sponsored plans linked to it, however the projections displayed are inaccurate. The accounts receive about $1850 in pretax contributions each month between my deductions and employer matches.

If I try and add these as a contribution inside the goal it destroys my normal budget since Monarch will "helpfully" add an $1850 expense each month. This is useless as Monarch never sees the $1850 in the first place. I know there is a work around to add manual income transactions to gross-up my pay, but that is an unacceptable solution that adds extra work.

Just let us choose to not have a goal automatically added to the budget when we set it up. Have a toggle labeled Pre-Tax or something to let us add contributions to retirement save up goals without destroying our monthly budgets. The projections on my goal are off by over 7 years because of this.
