I'm a software engineer for more than 10 years, but I still hate having these low quality tutorials... What is the concept? I read ESPHome, it says: "In this guide we’ll go through how to install ESPHome on a device using the ESPHome Dashboard, installed as a Home Assistant add-on." WHERE???? On my Windows PC? As a browser extension or maybe I should install some shtty linux? Use docker maybe? How??? Also this video starts by stating "Home assistance is already installed SOMEWHERE" WHERE? On the ESP? Or on my machine? I really can't believe that there are 8billion+ people out there and noone can create a decent tutorial except me and some indian folks...

There have been a lot of growing pains over the years with their controller software, but it has finally become very stable and user friendly. I have been using their equipment for over 10 years, a lot of people do not care for the Protect App but I have installed 100s of Unifi Camera sites and am very happy with them. Their new Teleport option is awesome. Their whole ecosystem is very adaptable and addictive. Great Video, thanks.

Love it. Been using ubiquiti since before unifi... Mini pci radios and madwifi Linux driver early 2000s lol. Also use a lot of airmax stuff. For APs would have considered u6 mesh or u7 outdoor which can do omnis like uap-ac-m. The uap-ac-m is several years old and due for eol. The uap-ac-m-prp already eol replaced by u6 outdoor pro. I would have done gigabeam or wave pico pair between house and barn. Mesh is great for 1 hop perhaps but can get ugly quick. I've rescued several campgrounds by using airmax backhauls instead of all mesh. Still looks great though and uap-ac-m have been a workhorse for me and projects to date! Cheers.

All the access points have mesh capabilities, just need to activate with a checkbox in one of the settings. The AC-mesh you went with will work but is dated now since it only supports wifi 5 and was made specifically in a time when mesh products were taking off publicly (an more ppl were understanding the technology). Going with the U7 you will notice better performance and coverage with less AP's. That being said if you decide to return and switch the ap-mesh to the U7 line or U6 avoid the U6 long-range (they've had a higher failure rate than other access points ~ can google about this). But highly recommend returning and switching from the mesh units to U7 units since it supports wifi 7 and your future devices will have better connectivity as you replace them (phones, watches, laptops, tvs, etc. ). Even if its "ceiling" mount design you can still mount them to a wall or even leave on the floor an you will get great coverage/experience. From a brand new setup its counter intuitive to not be on the latest wifi standards.

If you want to get rid of another power cord and have enough ports and power from your flex switch you may consider a USB-C POE splitter to power the gateway.

I started with a small open 6U rack and bought the UDM Pro along with an 8 Port PoE switch, a couple of In Wall APS and the G4 doorbell camera. I must admit I got bit by the Ubiquiti bug and continued upgrading and adding more and more devices into my home network. Long story short I have a 9U main rack and another in my home office with a bunch of upgrades and added cameras around my house with an NVR Pro. My home network is solid with very minimal problems and I love it.

Nice setup! I have a similar situation with two out building spread out over our property. I used to use a wireless bridge (UniFi) and it worked well, but when putting in a sprinkler system recently I went ahead and added CAT6 to the buildings while doing it. Still all UniFi though with 5 access points spread out over the property. The reason the flex switch doesn't come with a power device is because a lot of people connect them to an existing PoE switch to power it. The flex switch is usually a utility/secondary switch. It would be a waste to include the PoE injector and it not get used most of the time, not to mention to just make the overall price higher. You do have to plan for how you will power some of their devices, bust the ones that are standalone do usually include the AC adapter and/or PoE injector.

I remember a time that $100 would have been too much for me to pay for a router, but the more I learned, the more I realized the applicability of a more robust and more comprehensive home network, and the more I realized that the cost of Ubiquiti equipment and more specifically the Unifi Line was well worth it. My network is by no means huge, but I'm able to offer a safe internet environment for my family without having to troubleshoot issues constantly. As I continue to learn, I see what I CAN do, and wind up learning even more. That in itself, makes Ubiquiti an investment in education as well.

Great tutorial. And then you got to the point where you said you got some code from somewhere, but didn't show us where. For those of you that got lost like i did, I added the following code to the end of the yaml file: switch: - platform: gpio name: "BuiltinLED" pin: GPIO2 Press [save] and then press [install]. It takes about a minute or so. Then follow his instructions. I also had to add a card to the home page/overview page. [Pencil] press [sideways three dot]. press [unused entities]. Find {ESPHome BuiltinLED xxxxxx}. Press [add card]. It added a switch called ESPHome Web xxxxxx BuiltinLED. When you click the switch, a blue led turns on and off on the dev board close to the red power LED. (This assumes you are using a dev board which generally has a built in LED at gpio 2.)
