Considering the nightmare that many people experienced with the 1.9.0-1.9.2 UDM/UDM-Pro firmware releases, my upgrade to 1.9.3 was relatively painless. I did experience a few issues, so I thought it was worth documenting them, and what I did to fix them.

I’ve been really, really, cautious with the 1.9.x UDM/UDM-Pro firmware releases, but I think it’s time to throw caution to the wind with the 1.9.3 release. Somewhat because it genuinely seems to be more solid release (mostly on the controller side), but also because UI’s breach, and lack of disclosure around what happened exactly, puts us all at massive risk.

Remember that Ubiquiti (UI) security breach a while back? Well, looks like it’s much (much) worse than they let on. Not only in the degree and scope of what was compromised, but also how long it took for them to notify customers and with that response in general. The TLDR; is that they put everyone at massive risk because stock […]

I’ve been using a Hubitat Elevation home automation controller, aka hub, for a few years now, and I generally like it. A lot. But, it’s not perfect, and one of the things that makes it not perfect is that the backups don’t include radio information. Which means that they aren’t real backups. If your hub dies, or you want to […]

Rushed firmware, after rushed firmware, after rushed firmware; all likely due to poor release management by Ubiquiti. While I applaud the desire to try rapidly fix broken things, maybe the rush to turn us all into beta testers for a Unifi Controller that even UI isn’t willing to call stable is the problem?

Adding a sub to your audio solution is one of the best things you can do; especially if you have small speakers. Of course, one of the big challenges with great subwoofers, is that historically they take a lot of space. SVS sorted that, within the limits of physics ;), with the 10-inch SVS 3000 Micro. There’s a lot of […]

If pulling Ethernet cable isn’t an option in your house/flat/apartment, and Wi-Fi isn’t cutting it. MoCA adapters are a great solution for getting near gigabit speeds without much compromise. With great performance and good efficiency (2×2.5W max-load, 2×1.7W general use), the TRENDnet TMO-311C2K might be the perfect solution to extend network access throughout your home.

Has it been a week already? It would have been a long week for a lot of folks running the 1.9.0 firmware on their UDM/UDM-Pro. Personally, I’m going to wait another week because of how badly the last release went, but I’m also quite a bit more confident about the stability of this release, so maybe I’ll cut that short.

Ubiquiti has released the 1.9.x firmware for the UDM/UDM-Pro. To me, this seems a bit rushed, especially with the inclusion of the 6.1.x controller.

From a numbers perspective the Unifi Protect G4-Bullet camera is a decent bump vs the G3-Bullet, but nothing that would have me pulling out the wallet. Smart Detections on the other hand…
