*Office, Family Tv, Bedroom Tv
*Garage Ap, Hall Ap, Outdoor Pool Ap
*Relocated fiber modem from nightstand
*Added rack with built in automatic fans

3 days $7k, no drywall damage, had attic and crawlspace access.

I bought house and looks like previous owner left this. I found this is WiFi access point like WiFi extender? How do I gain access to this?

Wish previous owner was more informative.

Thank you in advance.

Did the G6 Pro Bullet (UVC-G6-Pro-Bullet-B) essentially replace the AI Pro (UVC-AI-Pro)? The AI Pro only can only be found using a search for it in the UI store. I currently have an AI Pro at our Smoky Mountain rental cabin and was looking for another to replace a Reolink cellular camera we used during construction.

My grandma was annoyed by the wifi strength In the winter terrace.

Well so I said I'll solve it.

9 months since launch, over a year since conception, over 1000 GitHub stars, almost 4200 squashed commits (tens of thousands pre-squash), and over 3000 hours of coding and R&D from me, not counting numerous community contributions, this is Network Optimizer today.

With UniFi Network transitioning to yet another major release and moving stuff around again, I wanted to recap some of what Network Optimizer can do at a kind of basic level. This is just scratching the surface, but it may spark some ideas for how it would be useful on your network. You can count on it to remain a stable user experience and feature set without having the rug pulled on where to find everything every minor or major release.

Coming soon too is a fully hosted offering for those without home servers. Network Optimizer takes a bit of horsepower to run all features, so I'll be dedicating some pretty beefy hardware to let people have a nice seamless and also extremely secure experience. The on-Gateway agent lets you deploy it to any site and connect it up to either our hosted or your self-hosted Server without a VPN or site-to-site tunnel. No public site IP required.

Here's a full index of everything it can do: https://github.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer/blob/main/FEATURES.md

If you have any questions about what else it can do, please hit me up below. If you're interested in a live demo every month or so, reply to my comment too with any ideas or just a show of interest. I'll probably start a Discord server as the project continues to grow so people can get help, ask questions, post ideas outside of GitHub Issues, and then meet up to check out or test / debug new features.

Here's the project repo: https://github.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer

Installation guides and everything are available from the README, quick links at the top. Linux bare metal or Docker, Proxmox (our LXC script recommended as the community script is out-of-date), macOS, and Windows all supported. A couple NAS integrations exist as well. Somebody even has a Home Assistant plugin for it!

With 1000+ stars on GitHub (hell yeah!) and deployment to a boatload of home and even biz/commercial networks, I'm here for the long haul and want to add in any quality of life features that people find useful. Thanks for all of the support!

(BTW if you point your favorite agentic tool at the repo, you can quickly find out if it can solve a particular need or problem for you, the feature set is a little overwhelming. Feel free to audit the code base and let me know of any security concerns, but I think you'll find it's very hardened at this point.)

And if you use NO already, please drop me a line below, let me know the feature(s) you use most often and why they're useful to you. Give me your number 1 want or need too, and I'll try to make it happen! I'm churning through the GitHub Issues backlog and should get to everything by year's end.

Hi everyone! I have a HomeKit based home with a Ubiquiti backbone: ISP ONT -> UX7 -> USW Ultra. I consider myself an amateur but god have I tried everything to make it work. Your help would be much, much appreciated.

Pretty much the title - regular stuff connects fine, Matter based devices get an instant "pairing failed" error. I have Aqara hardware: a G5 camera hub (PoE version, which is also a Matter hub) and a Door/window sensor.

As soon as I try to pair the camera hub via Matter to Apple Home in the Aqara app it fails instantly, per the screenshots.

My current VLAN setup is main network for my devices (that's where the Apple TV is) and the IoT VLAN (where the G5 camera is). I have IPv6 enabled, VLANs can talk to each other.

IMHO the systems can see each other as per the 3rd screenshot (Home app can see the hub) but I get the same error in the screenshot, just coming from the Home app and not the Aqara app.

Everything is updated to the latest version; Apple TV is on tvOS 26 not 27.

I'm hoping some of you have the same Ubiquiti/Homekit/Aqara Matter devices and hope to tell me wth am I doing wrong! Let me know if you need additional info to help me on this and thanks so much in advance!

Everything was retrofitted without any drywall damage, had to fish up from the crawlspace for every drop. Client was a DIYER, so everything was already adopted and ready to mount. The POE chime wall had a horizontal bracing I had to drill through, used a magnetic chain and retrieved it from the cavity below in the crawlspace, the viewer was on an exterior wall, and the stud bay was the exact width of the viewer and this bay sat right on top of a joist so that was really fun, I had to fish up the light switch bay to the left then go sideways to get into my viewer bay since I couldn’t drill directly up. Then the doorbell was a little easier, it was already prewired with cat5 so I found it in the crawlspace, cut the wire, spliced with a new cat6 and rerouted it to the network closet. Of course I had to terminate and test to make sure all pairs were good. Everything is working- I go back to add 2 Unifi cameras. The client was very knowledgeable- he added a module between the doorbell so when the doorbell rings it automatically shows on the viewer, he said without the module it will just ring, I love how Unifi makes bringing access control to the home possible.

For anyone doing larger UniFi Access installs, figured I’d share a setup I’ve been working on.

If you’re doing a bunch of doors and don’t want 10 different enclosures hanging on the wall, Altronix Trove is worth looking at. It also lets you keep the strike power separate from the UniFi Door Hubs, which I prefer.

This setup is for 9 doors and everything will fit into 2 enclosures.

And before anyone asks why I didn’t just use the Enterprise Access Hub (EAH-8), I wanted more flexibility. The EAH-8 is a bit limited on reader inputs and relays. If you want the option of 2 readers on certain doors, or extra relays for postal locks, delivery access, intercoms, etc., the standard UA-Hub-Door works better IMO.

The UniFi hubs handle the access control, and the Altronix AL400ULXB2 + ACM8CB handle the strike power separately.

Parts:

• 9x UA-Hub-Door
• 2x TROVE2BL2
• 2x AL400ULXB2
• 2x ACM8CB
• 2x USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE
• 2x UACC-Switch-DIN

Makes for a pretty clean setup and gives you a lot more flexibility than having individual power supplies/enclosures everywhere.

Anyone else doing larger UniFi Access installs this way? Curious what everyone else is using for enclosures and lock power.
