    Home assistant advice

    Which Router to buy in 2023? UPDATE went with OPNsense on a firewall box.

    I'm using PfSense also. Takes a little time in setting it up. Currently have 3 Lans (1 LAN, 1 CAM, 1 IoT). My Cam cant get out to WAN nor the other LANs. Check out Lawrence Systems youtube channel, if you are interested in PfSense. I'm cheap and use it with a HP T610 Thin Client (no AES)...

    No Signal

    Ones I can think of off top of head: 1) corroded Jack, check CAT cable on cam 2) POE switch failing, remove all but one failing cam and see if comes back, try different port on switch, etc. 3) Failing CAT cabling, did you use solid copper CAT, did you terminate with your own jack that may be...

    How to install PoE camera with limited attic access?

    Not sure how fancy your house is, but if there's a straight line across the wall and have quarter round (or not) in the cathedral area, you could use a cable concealer... may not look great, painting the same color as the base board may do. Another option, under the soffit, run rectangular...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Have you looked into Wireguard? Not sure how it works on IpnSense, but it was straight forward when I used Home Assistant and the Wireguard add-on, it will generate the key and it presented the QRcode on screen, just used the iPhone cam to capture the QRcode and way you go.

    I bought the Z-Wave one below for around 80.00 USD about 4 years ago, been working fine with my Trane heat pump. Note that it is Z-Wave only (not Z-Wave+). If you don't have C wire (no 24v power), you can use batteries (but not both at same time). I'm accessing it in HA and I use ZeroTier to...
