for what it's worth, I'll share my experience buying an older Pakedge SX-24P on eBay to expand my network. The main reason I picked Pakedge was because it has the network ports on the back of the unit, just like the Araknis switches and router that my Control4 dealer sold me, so it fits into an empty slot on the same rack without looking strange. The Pakedge is working fine but one thing I hadn't anticipated is that the LED's, both front and rear, are blue and very, very bright. As far as I can tell, there is no way to turn them off from the UI (unlike my much-newer Araknis switches that allow LED's to be turned off). My rack is in a closet next to a room where I watch TV, and the bright blue pulsing light from the Pakedge switch finds its way under the door, which is super annoying when you're trying to watch something in a dark room. I could block the light by filling the gap at the bottom of the door but that gap is there to let some ventilation air into the closet. So I ended up covering the Pakedge LED's with black tape which was time consuming. Also I wasn't smart enough to think about rack ears when I went shopping for a switch on eBay. Lots of switches are sold with rack ears, but not the one I bought... doh! So I had to buy those separately and it probably took me at least an hour to figure out exactly what size and hole spacing was needed and then to find a matching set on Amazon, wait a couple of days for delivery, and install them. More time was consumed troubleshooting a problem getting a secure https: connection to work with the Pakedge. Browsers report "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH". I Googled that and found a couple of suggested workarounds, but bottom line is the switch doesn't correctly support modern SSL standards. It's not a big issue on a private network, but it's one more thing that sucked up some time and made me start to regret my purchase. Also you mentioned VLAN's and wondered about mixing and matching brands in that context: well, I have 5 VLAN's running, and I didn't have any real problems with getting the Pakedge to work with them, but I definitely lost some time -- maybe 1/2 hour -- on the learning curve because the Pakedge method of configuring VLAN's was sufficiently different from the Araknis method that I made a couple of little missteps along the way. I'm retired so the "time is money" axiom doesn't really apply, but certainly if I was on the clock I would have been further ahead to buy a brand new "expensive" Araknis and have it work immediately, vs. this "cheap" used Pakedge that ate up many hours dealing with the issues described above. YMMV!
love my unifi!
personally if you're going to do it yourself and manage it yourself because you have the knowledge, I felt the unifi was the best bang for the $$.
You cannot feed data into sensibo. The driver will however pick up data from senisibos own room sensors. So if you have one set up then the driver will automatically pull the data in. No setup required on control,4.
We automatically import in the HVAC and FAN modes into Control4. Control4 by default has known HVAC and FAN modes. When we issue a known mode it will automatically format it and sometimes applies icons to them as well hence why LOW and AUTO convert to Low and Auto.
In regards to light on / off functions this is not part of the API so we have no control over it.
