A LineageOS ROM for these clocks would be the ultimate way to keep them all from going to landfill 🙂

I just plugged the sonoff usb into my proxmox server and forwarded the usb to a vm and from there into the Zigbee2MQTT docker container. But yeah over network has some advanteges as it needs no forwarding and can easily be physically moved somewhere else closer to your zigbee devices..

You might have already learnt this since this video came out a while ago but Mikrotik has a "Safe Mode" available when configuring devices. When enabled (toggle button on lower left in webfig, top left in winbox, Ctrl + X in terminal) it will revert any changes done during the time safe mode was enabled if the connection is lost. Once you reach the desired config you can disable safe mode and the changes will stay like normal. It has saved me at least a couple times from a reset and restore!

🤯 I didnt know such a device existed!! I could see myself getting one (to replace the same model of Sonoff USB ZigBee adaptor) if I could find one that was also able to handle the weird Home Assistant Bluetooth stuff that seem to only work with certain chipsets, but the closest I was able to find so far were some Tuya IoT Platform stuff.

I've got a very similar setup, but using the TubesZB CC2652 P2 POE model, which has been extremely reliable and a great improvement to my setup (I also run everything else under Proxmox). I had trouble finding who actually makes the Hamgeek device (granted, I didn't spent a huge amount of time digging), but the TubesZB device info is all readily available and open source.

Great video as usual Cameron! Have been thinking about doing this so I can put it in a central location in the house! Great project and thanks for putting the video together!

As its on the network, it would be good to see you do a wireshark run just to see if it's trying to call home on the stock FW...?

Did you end up moving Zigbee to MQTT over directly to your server on a VM or did you move it into Home Assistant as an add-on?

I mean, technically that gateway is just another random linux device laying around. 🤣 It's still pretty neat though. I need to move to HA but I havent quite had the time and the smartthings platform works for what I do. I still do not like relying on samsung though.

Interesting... I got the same controller but from another brand, though the web panel is exactly the same: ZigStar UZG-01

It's always a great day when you upload!

The amount of people in the comments not watching the first 5 minutes of the video. Guys, he goes through and explains all his reasoning in the video. Watch the video.

compared to sm06?

I may have to look into one of these, the usb stick sticking out of my g8 microserver is a bit silly, not to mention mapping a stick into a container is a minor pain :D

Just buy the smlite SLZB 06 and be over with it . What’s more you can use it as coordinator or router

You don't want as many tiny linux devices around the house... Okey, so why are you replacing one tiny linux device with... another tiny linux device? :')

Because its Ethernet, not USB, will it work with Home Assistant and Zigbee2Mqtt simultaneously? As I use USB to HA on proxmox, I need to buy a second ZigBee adapter to run both. It seems like I could buy this hamgeek and donate my USB one (to seed a new smart home!)

This seems to be a clone of the ZigStar UZG-01? I bought one a few weeks ago and it's indentical. The firmware is 100% the same as the one ZigStar develop, they've just changed the name at the top left. Either: 1. ZigStar are releasing their product under two model names, but not advertising this anywhere. Seems very unlikely. Or: 2. This is a complete and shameless copy of the Zigstar UZG-01, down to the same gerber files and firmware (only changing the model number in the firmware). You can see when you take it apart the ZigStar logo and UZG model number clearly printed on the silkscreen. This means that any money given to HamGeek takes market share away from ZigStar, and does not benefit the development of the UZG-01 or it's firmware in any way. Whether HamGeek have breached ZigStar's GPL v3 licence is unclear, but either way I think the right thing to do would be to recommend the original project, not a clone! That aside, the video is a great overview of the product, and I'd fully recommend the UZG-01 to anyone looking for a PoE ZigBee gateway

I thought this (alongside its close relative ZSigStar UZG-01) would be a cheaper alternative to the SMLight SLZB-06 series but it turns out this one is significantly more expensive.

Sorry for sounding a little ignorant, but you want to get rid of the pi and move zb2mqtt onto a vm because its taking up space etc but you are just replacing it with something that does the exact same thing that your pi is doing? I dont get it. Why bother replacing the pi?

External portable monitor is $65 - why the heck is this $400?

I have to do something very similar today, so a well timed video. Thanks!

Oh thats neat

Great video mate, have you had a look at something like the Flint 2 and running smoothwan on it?

Best

Buy the HamGeek HMG-01 Plus PoE: - Amazon: geni.us/rYyTVo - AliExpress: geni.us/3BB7lk

the 4K HDMi copy protection.... I have the same thing with my Virgin box and AV receiver. My work around is sending picture to TV direct, and sound to AV via optical. Sky stream doesn't have optical - but I REALLY hoped it wouldn't have this copywrite issue. that would make it a hard no unfortunately. WHY is this an issue???????????????????

What laptop you using ?

Nice video, thanks bro.

still a decent price on Aliexpress - just ordered!

Interesting. For a budget option, I always point to the Klein Scout Pro. Cheap, reliable, from a trusted brand and I've had great experience with it. But this having the tone arm with it is a nice touch!

Give us one with 2.5gb PoE come on

I have a 10g Ethernet with 5g/5g WAN connection so I wonder if the switch between the the WAN and the UDM could be a unifi aggregation switch.

do you happen to have a link to the fx tape? im struggling. to find anything but "laminated"

When you think your setup is too complicated - just watch this video. It is a whole different category.

You mentioned at some point that you were using diffuser bulbs and you would expect further glare reduction if using "spotlight" bulbs. I've tried myself with much expectation but, even with the latter bulb, glare reduction is still not ideal, as the lower part of the can receives more light than the upper. This is because the can is cylindrical whereas the beam is cone-shaped - unfortunately they don't align well. Excuse my perfectionism, but I've gone for the JCC Fireguard Anti-Glare XL instead... // Sorry if I sound too negative, but the Integral EvoFire certainly has its own merits over the JCC Fireguard - such as the open design at the back (better heat management), the smooth edge on the bezel (which I found pleasing too), and consistent IP65-only rating (no IP20). It did take me quite a few weeks to make a decision though!

How does the toning perform when the cable you're trying to trace is plugged into a poe switch?

Too bad AC Infinity discontinued the Controller.

Great video!

Great video with a really detailed review. Rarely see anyone talking about potential confidentiality issues with normal pictures contained in thermal images or show what can be done in the software.

For some reason my screen reader doesn't show up in the app. Has this been patched?

im tired of the low gaming performance of hte UDM PRo so I think I am going to do the same thing.

Don't waste your money. Mine worked great for a month then chips on the mainboard literally burnt up. I replaced it with another one and it did the exact same thing. Fluke costs significantly more for a reason but you only have to buy it once. I do love my Pockethernet though.

It works if ther is a pc connected on the other end?

will you be interested in testing thunderbolt bridge networking for NAS - Mac communication? seems like that is also a cheap way to get 10Gb+ access to NAS for MacBooks. i'm considering building my next NAS with thunderbolt, but there is truly a major lack of info online about truenas scale working with thunderbolt bridge.

I keep seeing more and more UA-camrs saying that three pin fans are not speed controlled. They definitely are. You cannot get them to spin as low as pwm is the whole reason PWM was added. With three pin fans you modulate the voltage and if you drop too low, the fan just won’t spin, but with pwm fans you pulse the full 12 V so you can get them to spin as slow as you want

I have asked Unicomp for the problem of LED color and they said only the blue LEDs will be installed for the new manufactured keyboards.

Many thanks for the excellent review - received mine today.

A question about the capture card. Is there a converter with 3-5x HDMI IN? I would like to connect my PS4 and XBOX and the Raspberry PI. Does the “4K Input Capable HDMI 2.0 Capture Card” also work with the Amazon Firestick?

You speak in morse code! Slow down.
