Some other points: 1. Fan is at the rear, not at the sides like the 24 port models 2. 24 port model is noisy AF compared to this one 3. Good switch, reliable And as you mention, compatible with 24V passive which can be helpful. I know you can get the POE converters from POE to 24V POE, but the converters appear to be bucket converters with a god-awful noise when in use. I've used the 16 port one for ages. The only way to get this now is to buy the PRO models of the POE switches, and that's more than 2x the money.
Thank you. You made it much easier for me to understand how to make/change profiles. BTW, as I was playing around the "Edit Selected" function can enable you to edit multiple ports to accept the profile instead of changing it individually.
I'm interested in POE for lighting and wondering if it's more normal for individual ports on a POE switch to turn on/off power or for power to be always on and the device decides if it's on or off. I'd rather have 4+ lights coming off of a switch and be able to a) have light switches in walls to turn them on/off b) yell at alexa to turn them on or off c) yell at alexa to change the light hue
POE should be left on (or off) at the switch. It's not intended to be flipped like a light switch at the network switch. Think about it like the circuit breaker in your electrical panel, generally you just leave it on unless you NEED to turn it off for some reason. Automation would happen at the switch or fixture. There would be some control mechanism, probably IP based because POE, that managed the on/off state of the light itself. The fixture/switch would always have power so it can respond to requests to change lighting state requested by the HAC. What lighting system are you looking at?
@@MissingRemotelooking for residential application. The combination of low voltage lines + automation makes POE interesting. But it feels like this is still pretty niche and there aren't many options in reasonable price ranges.
@@ChrisKSPCompletely agree with you. I wish there was more here, but I can also understand why there isn't because you'd pretty much have to do it as part of a new build if you wanted to manage it at scale.
Hi Andrew, this is a major explanation that is meeting my current challenge. I have a USG and 48 port switch in one site and had a fibre cable connecting the other building to another 48 port unifi switch. Initially, i had issues provisioning an AP that i brought from another site to provision on the site where i have my USG and the unifi switch. While trying to provision this AP from the controller, i had issues adopting, provisioning and moving it to the site where it belong. This was the initial issue i had, when i found out that i could not connect the second building(where i have 48 port switch connecting LAN devices and 2 UNIFI WAP) from main site where i had USG and a 48 port switch. This is a major issue on my office network, i need your professional advice and troubleshoot
I usually hard reset devices, even if I've deprovisioned them. That's a good place to start. It's also worth checking that all the cables are good, you can get a wire tester for pretty cheap on Amazon.
Hi, thank you this was helpful, I was trying to connect my mac mini to the wall ethernet port, so I connected the cable and went to Switch>ports>the port 11 (that is the port macmini is connected to) entered name and assigned to Lan and it still shows disconnected, not sure how I can activate it.

Excellent points! I should have commented on noise in the review, thanks for adding that.

Thank you for going through the setting. This is what I was looking for Vlan my house.

Hi thanks for the video. How come my switch has reboot itself or the switch is power cycling. The access point keep cutting off.
That sounds like a hardware issue. You probably want to reach out to UI support and arrange an RMA.
What of if the reset switch has sunk inside and it's not coming out
If it's under warranty, contact UI. If it's not, take the top off and pop it back out.
