  • So if I understand this right you will need to change the network on the port attached to the synology in your UniFi configuration or set the vlan tag in the synology OS, I would do the former. It sounds like you just added a second network/vlan to the existing interface which means you actually created a trunk and are getting the old network untagged and the new network with vlan tags which the synology is dropping. Synology OS also doesn’t really support trunked ports through the UI (even though it does support a port that only uses a vlan tag) so it’s much easier to just leave them untagged.




  • I mean sure but that’s a lot of words to say “I didn’t read the directions and no one caught it in a merge request review because no one else read the directions either.”

    Their documentation and examples are pretty easy to read and the site parameter is explained in the getting started guide and even linked from the readme for the JavaScript sdk, and in lots of sample configurations so I’m not sure how this made it into a release and then no one noticed the missing metrics for eleven days, sounds like lots of issues in that shop.

    The behavior of the sdk isn’t great but the proposed solution wouldn’t work because you can use custom endpoints for all of the components using endpoints on domains you own anyway.












  • I think what this person is saying is that systems and services have been monitored for metrics and logs for a long time, I know I have been doing it for more than 20 years across many OS, hardware platform, and software stack. The tools and depth of the integrations have definitely changed and gotten way better and more sophisticated but I definitely made systems that monitored and healed themselves to varying levels of efficiency since at least using Nagios in 2003 (I’m getting Perl PTSD flashbacks now hah).

    One thing that has definitely gotten better in the last 5 or so years though is code level instrumentation and tracing as well as the higher level correlation tools. I have also seen more developers and vendors way more willing to implement monitoring features in their code from the beginning leading to more data and less duct tape and guessing which has been FANTASTIC.

    Anyway, great post though, the monitoring arena is definitely way more awesome than ever before these days that is for sure.




  • So I am definitely not an electrician by any means but I noticed on their site the ZEN05 says “Do not install the device in a place with direct sun exposure, high temperature, or humidity.” which seems pretty silly to me for something that two lines above says it is outdoor rated hah. I bet that is why they said not to use it though, heat+melting ice will generate humidity or something. I wouldn’t be placing the device next to the heating pad if it was me anyway so I would think it would work, your logic seems sound to me, I probably wouldn’t even have asked zooz now that I think about it.

    That said, I’m going to need to hear more about these heating mats, I have some sidewalks that I don’t enjoy shoveling hah.

    ETA: forgot to include, I use the GE version of that ZEN05 outside (since 2019) plugged into a GFCI outlet and it works fine, it definitely has very direct sun and gets all weather too.
