After a long BETA cycle Ubiquiti has released the 1.11.0 firmware update for the UDM & UDM-Pro. It includes a lot of feature improvements, some really important, and a slew of bug fixes. It also includes a critical update to Unifi Network, and was supposed to support a new feature that I’ve been really looking forward to using on my […]

I’m probably behind the curve on this one, but I recently discovered that battery replacers exist. This is awesome, especially this time of year when my wife adds all sorts of AA/AAA powered annoyances, er… flashing holiday lights, around the house and forgets to turn them off when it’s time to go to sleep. This doesn’t solve the energy waste […]

Having given up on the Zooz ZEN25 ever getting fixed, I went in search of a cheap alternative that wouldn’t cause Z-Wave network instability. Found an answer in these cheap Zigbee switches that are sold under many different brand names including CMARS, eWeLink, and Seedan.

It’s so weird that Ubiquiti (UI) has stopped pretending that Early Access (EA) kit is a secret, except when it suits them. But, I guess it’s their ball, they can throw a tantrum and go home whenever they want. I just wish there was more consistency around the whole thing. Oh, and this router thing looks pretty slick; well maybe […]

Nothing wrong with a quick, mostly bug fix, release for Unifi Protect. I’ve been really pleased with the performance of the 1.19.x releases so far, except that the firmware that came with 1.19.0 bricked one of my G3 Dome cameras…

I’m confused. Is Early Access an NDA program, or not? Because if we’re not supposed to be talking about Ubiquiti’s EA HW, someone should really tell Ubiquiti about it… That said, the AI 360 looks really neat, as a concept; especially with PTZ. With a 1920×1920 resolution, it’s probably OK for some installations, but given the video’s pitch, it’s probably […]

Protect 1.19.0 has been in the works for a while. Great that UI took the time to get it right, with a bunch of improvements and bugfixes. I just wish that my cameras wouldn’t keep failing.
