    Internet to my detatched shop

    Yeah I get the vlan route. I have three vlans on my network already. I just want those shop cameras connected like the rest of my cams.

    Internet to my detatched shop

    So with two fiber runs to the shop, I'd need a POE switch with a SPF port (Cameras) and a regular media converter for the AP? Then two more media converters in the house?

    Internet to my detatched shop

    Do you know if they make a single unit ( POE switch) that has two SPF ports with ethernet ports but it's actually two seperate units in one? Meaning one SPF port and half the ethernet ports are seperate from the other SPF port and ethernet ports. Something I can plug two seperate runs of fiber...

    I will have to read up on wireless bridges. I do know that if I go to the effort of digging the trench, then I'm going to hard wire everything.

    Internet to my detatched shop

    Both my main network switch, and the IP cam switch connected to my BI machine are in the same room within spitting distance. So both cables would come in at the same place.

    Internet to my detatched shop

    Yeah I was confused on how I could get an AP for my main network out in my shop and the four shop cameras using just the one fiber cable run. I was confused because if I connect to my main network switch I don't get the camera segregation. If I connect to my main IP camera switch then I don't...

    Internet to my detatched shop

    Yes, that's what I hope to accomplish over the one fiber run. Here's another photo of how I envision the setup. The question is, how do I get the four shop cameras connected to the POE IP camera switch so they're isolated like the rest? In my diagram, the four shop cameras would be exposed to...

    Internet to my detatched shop

    I basically want to add an AP in the shop as well as the four IP cameras. Is there an easy way to do this over one fiber run while maintaining my dual NIC security measure?

    Internet to my detatched shop

    I prefer my cameras to not be connected to the internet at all. Which is why I prefer the 2nd NIC setup.

    Not sure on size yet. Bigger is better I always say.

    Internet to my detatched shop

    Maybe a dumb question but if I daisy chained another POE switch to the main camera POE switch how is the power figured out? I assume the POE switch that I place in my shop will provide the power and my main camera POE switch in the house will be able to tell that power is being provided...

    Internet to my detatched shop

    So all my network gear is inside the house. Including the dedicated POE switch for all my cameras which is connected to my Blue Iris PC. I'm using a dual NIC setup on my BI PC. So if I added say four more cameras out in my detatched shop, wouldn't I have to bury four more runs of CAT 6 to my...

    Internet to my detatched shop

    I want to extend my network out to my shop. It will be an underground run about 120' long. I own a skidsteer with a backhoe attachment so it's no big deal to trench over to my shop from the house. I've been researching fiber optic cable and think that I'd like to go this route. I'm starting...

    EmpireTech 9th Anniversary (Summer)Sales

    The USPS is not a package delivery service........they SUCK at it. They should stick to envelope delivery. I had a smart thermostat delivered the other day. The box didn't fit inside the mail box so the driver set it on the ground right next to the county road. Had I not been home and...

    I bought a three pack of the ESP 32 boards. I need to come up with some other projetcs.

    Smart irrigation system

    Okay, it's all wired up and all relays function. Just have to wire the actual solenoids to the other side of the relays. I tested out an automation that would simulate automatic watering by time of day and it works perfect.

    Smart irrigation system

    I was playing around with open sprinkler on a Raspberry pi I had laying around. Although you can integrate open sprinkler into Home assistant via HACS, I wanted to use ESPHome and build my own dashboard.

    Smart irrigation system

    Okay I got it all mocked up on my desk. I only added one entity (Zone 1) to the ESP32 so far. I can now click relay one manually. Fun stuff!!

    Smart irrigation system

    Exactly what I was wanting to do. There are so many different ESP32 boards online to choose from. Are they all pretty much the same? Here's a list of what I was thinking...

    Smart irrigation system

    Has anyone built their own smart sprinkler controller for home assistant? I know you can purchase smart controllers that are drop in replacements but building one appeals to me. I'd really like to incorporate something into ESPHome on my home assistant setup. Has anyone done this?

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Mine are still going strong after months of every night use. I will say the included little PSU's are under powered in my opinion. One of my units would occasionally turn off, then back on occasionally. It was the PSU. I bought more robust PSU's and never had any issues after that. Oh, and...

    HOME ASSISTANT (Assist) Voice Assistant

    I just started using Home assistant at the beginning of the year. Absolutely love it. Replacing my two Amazon echo/Show devices is high on my list of things to do. I have never heard of the Echo Atoms but they look great!

    Yep looks like a tweaker all right. It was probably a waste of time giving her food. Her body probably rejected it.
