May just be the lightpd service has fell over. Basic ask... Have you rebooted it? If yes - it's died. If no - reboot it.

Thanks, yep I did reboot and it didn't help

I followed some instructions here, which hopefully mean it should last until I get back.

I've also managed to grab a backup. It seems to be playing ball for now, but yeah maybe time to upgrade to the Express or something similar!
 
On the subject of backups. I obviously have backups of my DM SE, bit of that were to die so the backups only work if I replaced it with another DM SE or will it work with any other decide and just sort itself out?

They work with any gateway, well, probably not the EOL USG line but you can go from UDMSE to CGF and use the same backup file to restore.

I went from a USG 4 Pro and Cloudkey 2 Plus setup to a UCGF without issue. A handful of settings needed some attention but in the main everything came across
 


I'm looking for advice about potentially investing in and deploying some Unifi network kit around my home. Just over tens years ago I purchased a bungalow and did some renovation works, one of the jobs that where done was I had CAT5 cabling run around the house for networking.
I have a network rack cabinet in my garage (Red Square) which currently contains an HP ProCurve 24 port gigabit switch (unmanaged), Synology NAS DS1621+ and my Raspberry Pi (running Homebridge).

I have 19 CAT5 sockets wired around my house. The Blue Squares are double CAT5 points which aren't currently non use, the Orange Squares are a mixture of double and quad CAT5 points which are all in use. The Black Square is where my Fibre ONT (YouFibre 1000) and router is currently located along with a single CAT5 point to connect my router onto my network.

What I'd like to do is utilise some of, if not all of the remaining CAT5 points and use wall-mounted AP's. With regards got the switches, it would be great to look at something with 2.5g (assuming my CAT5e can use 2.5g?). I also have a solar panel inverter in my garage that I'd like to eventually hardwire network along with the possibility of an electric car charger at some point to. Which would bring my device count up to 23. I would also need some sort of Unifi router as well.

I also have long term plans to invest in up at least 2-3 POE cameras for use via Apple Home (HomeKit Secure Video). I don't know what would be potentially be cheaper 1x Switch (Large with POE) or 1x Main Switch then 1x Smaller dedicated POE switch.

Any suggestions and helpful pointers would be appreciated.
 
Edit: Did some more digging about the poor Tailscale Performance on my UCG Ultra.

Turns out the Tailscale 'app' you can install now, thanks to an update in August, support Tailscale in Kernel-Mode.

Before: ~20mbit
Now: Full line speed (100mbits)

Feels like a missed opportunity on the tower especially to not put DC outlets on it for the various compact cloud gateways, your ONT etc. And a few USB PD ports.

Doesn't seem much point, it's not really a fully fledged UPS just gives enough time to safely shut everything that needs it down.
 
If only CGF, ONT, and all other DC devices used the same power input/adapter/standards. They always seem to make their own stuff up depending on whatever cheap deal they can get with a supplier.
