You already have a mono price matrix so......

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24180

I also have it in my house because I cant drop the $$$ on an AVPro. I think there is a one way driver for it on a facebook group but I don't know the capabilities it has. I built my own driver for it vs looking for one else where.

 

Are you having good luck with it? This matrix has been on my watchlist for a while, and I am about to pull the trigger. I believe ZUUM media sells the same one, and they have a free IP driver available: https://www.zuummedia.com/product-p/h8x8h2.htm 

RA2 Select drivers work with caseta devices. 

I have seen an issue where you need to hide and unhide the camera in order for the camera to show up in the iOS app. 

Cool!
Will report back once I test with the ethernet adapter. I got a cheapy 2.5gb one off of amazon. 

Thanks guys!

I just googled ip pass through and found all the settings online.

I'm using an udm pro and it's getting a full 960 down and 980 up, average. With all the threat management items ticked.

Thanks.
So, with the information I provided originally, comparing to the info you found, do you see anything missing? Just wondering... 

I will know how my speeds are for sure once I get the Ethernet adapter.  

Hi, I hope everyone is doing well! 

Finally had ATT fiber installed today and looks like I am stuck paying $10 a month for a device that I don't really need. Oh well... it is what it is.  

Network Setup 
Ubiquiti ERLite 3 (1.10.7)
Cisco SG300
3x Unifi APs

Current ISP setup: 
Suddenlink 400mb
ARRIS Surfboard SB6190

Replacing with:
ATT Fiber 1000/1000
BGW320-505

In order for me to keep my network equipment, which is already configured and works flawlessly, I read the easiest way would be via "IP Passthrough", so this is what I have done so far:

BGW320
1) Disabled IPV6
2) Changed the Device IP to something different than 192.168.1.X 
3) Disabled "Packet Filters"
4) Enabled "IP Passthrough"
5) Disabled all options in "Firewall Advanced"
6) Disabled both 2.4 and 5ghz
7) Connected my ERLite3 to the blue 5gb port (Port1?)
8.) Reboot

ERLite3

1) Able to get Public IP
2) ... not sure what else to check. So far, all the equipment I tested seemed to be working fine.
 

I do plan to upgrade to a UDM-PRO in the future, but I would like to get the best speed I can with the equipment I have right now. To be honest, I am not entirely sure if the ERlite3 can handle 1gb. Haven't tried to connect my macbook pro to straight to my switch yet because I couldn't find my USB-C to Ethernet adapter, so I am ordering a new one to test. Right now I am averaging 500mb down / 550mb up over Wifi (Macbook Pro Late 2015 + AC-HD). 

Is there anything else I am missing? Any help or tips are greatly appreciated!

Thanks. Great to hear. Anything missing vs the Videostorm one? Seems like a no-brainer but curious if any negative to adopting/switching to this new one.

I haven't been able to find a way to send a "long press". If you guys find it please let me know how. I use this function all the time.  

does anyone one know how to send a "long press" with this new driver?

I haven't been able to find discrete IR codes for these TVs. Until we have confirmation they exist, I would personally not recommend buying this model. 

In case anyone was wondering, the TCL Roku codes do not work on this set. 

Hi, I need some light switches to control a few lights.  Control4 will be overkill for my needs.  Does anybody have experience with the lutron caseta lighting?
probably will connect to alexa for some basic control.
 
Any other suggested system?

My cameras are no longer working after today’s update. I have 6 cameras connected to a hik NVR and 2 cameras connected straight to the network switch. None of them are loading (wifi or LTE).

They work fine via OSD though...

I was looking for a driver for a BG-UHD-88M18G and couldn't find anything. Then I noticed that Monoprice and Zuum sell similar hardware and seem to use similar codes. Luckily Zuum provides an IP/Serial/IR driver for their Matrix which could help at least with the HDMI switching part. Not sure if it will work, but it doesn't hurt to try:

https://www.zuummedia.com/v/vspfiles/Software/zuum_hdmi_8x8.c4z.zip 

The codes are very similar to:

BG-UHD-88M18G
Monoprice 39670
Monoprice 39669

I found a few companies selling the following matrix but could not find any reviews yet.

Good features and also includes audio de-embedding/matrix.

The only downside is there are no Control4 drivers made, but shouldnt be too hard to build a serial drive for it:

The edge series is basically dead compared to Unifi. Definitely don't get Edge and get Unifi.

This thing is the cats meow and there isn't a better all in one router for the price on the market. If you really wanna big d*ck it then get the Dream Machine Pro. That's basically the best residential router I know of (I am also a Pakedge/Luxul dealer, the Unifi product is just superior in nearly every regard) 

Yep!

Or... If can wait a little bit longer for a new router and doesn't need the extra features from the UDM Pro, I would wait for this:

The Unifi doorbell is dual band.   My doorbird is connected via ethernet and its still slow to connect.   I like it but speed is not great

I would strongly advise against a 2.4ghz doorbell from any brand. They are generally a little slow to connect. Its not going to be a good user experience. 

If you really like the Ubiquiti gear, contact this guy and check if they plan to support the doorbell:

Can anyone get me a TCL Roku TV and TP-Link Kasa driver for free? Much appreciated.

For the Roku TV driver, If you know how to program, you can start here:

https://developer.roku.com/docs/developer-program/debugging/external-control-api.md

These commands work beautifully with my TCL S4 model. Just sent them via terminal:

curl -d '' http://TV_IP:8060/keypress/powerOn

curl -d '' http://TV_IP:8060/keypress/powerOff

curl -d '' http://TV_IP:8060/keypress/Home

and etc..

The following bulbs work great with C4 APD and Caseta dimmers:

A19: Cree and Feit (A19OM800LED)
PAR20/38: Hyperikon
MLV: Soraa are good but expensive. I personally prefer GEs Halogen.

One reason I cant "upgrade" my connect to a port is because the connect has 3 different audio outputs (analog, optical and coax) whereas the port only has 2 (analog and optical). I need all 3 because the 2 digital outputs feed 2 AVR's that I have while the analog feeds a Russound audio matrix.

Is that for data or video (hdmi-over-cat)?  Either way use CAT6. 

When I bought my house 4 years ago I ran 2x Cat5 for IR and Data and 2x Cat6 for video behind every TV location. A bit overkill but I rather have extras than none. 

If I ever move to a new house in the near future, I think I would do: 2x Cat6 for Data and IR and 2x Cat6A or Cat7 for video.

I use these. No issues at all.

So do we have any clue why the Control4 version of the driver would be working with the SR260 but not the app? 

I am also having issues with the apple tv 4k ip driver for the first time.

The funny thing is that all of my iOS devices, regardless of iOS the version, stopped controlling both of my apple TVs via Control4 app, while everything still works via apple’s Remote app, SR and Neeo.

Not sure what happened but its working now. Lol

Thanks again for the driver!
