You probably know this but RadioRa2 is on a different frequency (I think 315 MHz) so it isn’t on WiFi. So even if there are problems on the network, the main repeater can control the lighting. And remember the RadioRa2 switches still act like normal wired switches even if the Main Repeater is...

Then you might want to segment those onto their own subnet or control their broadcasting. The UniFi switch is a managed switch with VLAN and “storm control” and the UniFi 8-60w ($115) could power some of the AC Pros for your WiFi while the switch would also give better control of the network to...

  Do you have a Sonos Bridge?  As far as I know Sonos has (or can have) it's own wireless connection between the units without having to be on your WiFi as long as you have the Bridge.  If you need a Bridge, let me know as I have an extra I've been meaning to sell on eBay but would give you a...

  Could be.  I was specifically looking up Fast Roaming and could find no mention that the feature specifically included client management strategies.  However, I think I remember reading that Ubiquiti had some logic to try to force a handoff but didn't find it when I did a quick switch...

I have a similar size house and 3 floors but I now have 3. Do I need 3? Yes and no. If I was only worried about solid WiFi coverage, 1 of the UniFi AC Pros would be fine. But I also want strong 5 GHz coverage (faster but shorter range) and I’m also trying to cover a little of the front...

The device decides when to switch, the Fast Roaming just makes sure that handoff is fast.  This is why some people do a wifi signal analysis and reduce the power on the APs so they don't overlap (much) and so the device will switch more readily.

I get the Pro stuff as better antenna and maybe better processor. HD is overkill for a home in my opinion as it was built for device dense environments such as an auditorium. 1. Do not believe they have proprietary PoE but there are multiple standards. 2. Wall mount works, I also have the...

Well, RAB has the sensors available separately that you might be able to use instead of the Optex but that depends on your security system.  Then again, the sensors aren't too much cheaper than the Optex depending on which one you look at...

I bought 3 of these from RAB Lighting over 6 years ago and they've been outstanding.  Now these are the integrated lights with a under and wide angle sensor but they also have other lights without sensors and sensors without lights.  Based on my experience with 3 of these lights/sensors, I...

I also have the Brother 8350CDW and am quite pleased with it.

I already have wires ready to go from the basement and into the attic. I just need a central control hub and just haven't prioritized it. I bought Sonos Play5s and that worked well for a while but when I take my kids devices, then they bother me to change the station. Was hoping the Echo Dot...

I'll just hold on the WHA for a while. I have a bunch of NHT IC4, which are 8" ceiling speakers with 3 tweeters in a little array. Sound nice but I haven't deployed them around the house yet. I'd want a more central configuration as opposed to using Echo Dot line out in a given room. Thanks...

Pete_c - if you don't want this discussion here, I'll start a new thread. Any ideas on a whole-home audio system to work with Alexa? I did a quick search but didn't find anything...yet.

I just integrated the Alexa with our lighting system (RadioRa2) and Harmony Hub. Went well and is really a nice addition to the house. I bought 4, two for the kids rooms, one for the master, and one for kitchen/living room. Whole family really likes Alexa. Harmony is a little more annoying...

Congrats Dean. And kudos to you for opening yourself up to extensive criticism/critique and working so hard to implement so many of the suggestions. I'm sure it was a ton of work and my proverbial hat is off to you for your commitment to improving your product.

I was noticing that too and I had no clue what unlocked meant. Take a look here - https://community.linksys.com/t5/VoIP-Adapters/Is-my-PAP2T-unlocked-difference-between-PAP2T-amp-PAP2T-NA/td-p/217067. Seems that unlocked means it isn't password protected or controlled by a VOIP provider. And...

I use the Linksys PAP2T and it has worked flawlessly for several years now. Not sure what the new recommendation would be but I'm sure the PAP2T can be bought on eBay.

Thanks for the hint of the NOMOROBO as I just set it up with Voip.MS, which I've been happily using for years and years.    Though I will say setting up a PBX to have them press 1 sounds intriguing but hopefully NOMOROBO will cut down on the calls so I don't have to block some periodically in...

What is your price range for new speakers?  I'm pretty active on AVS and have a home theater subwoofer business so I read about quite a bit of the more popular speakers for the performance enthusiast.  Do you have the capability to do DIY as you can save quite a bit of money by building some...

I use the Legrand night lights for the hall and main bathroom. Nothing special, just an LED light (and combo outlet on one model) but uses so few watts that it doesn't matter if on all of the time. Actually it does have a sensor but the light level is so low in the upstairs hallway and...
