G4 Pro Doorbell available for about £160, sold out in UK store, but still available in EU store for roughly same price in euros.

Nice price! I would have been tempted, but weirdly I prefer the standard G4, the auto LED means I don’t have to have an external light/PIR to be able to see my keys etc.
 
Yeah, normally I'd have wanted PoE, but ordered one to dip my toe into recording video on the Dream Machine Pro and replace our OG Wifi mains powered Nest Doorbell.

A little apprehensive as initial reviews from a couple of years ago say the notifications and detections are not as good as Google's, but we'll see if things have changed since then.

I imagine they will be similar to the cameras I have the notifications from my G5 Ultra on and they're perfect, line crossing at the bottom of my drive works flawlessly.

The poe ports on the 8-60w are only poe, the lite has poe/poe+, so if you need that go with the lite. So you have 30w max output per channel on the lite vs 15w on the 8-60w.

I decided to go with the USW-Lite-8-PoE although I bought from the elsewhere on sale that said in stock yet it ended up having a 5 week lead time which was nice of them. Also bought a Ubiquiti 3m patch cable that are nice and slim and are not an eye sore down the corner of the walls. AP associated and Vlans configured easy enough using Unifi Network server now it has visibility of the switch.

The only issue I'm having is initially I associated and named the PF Sense device successfully in the Network Server so it was online and discovered, yet it has now gone permanently offline and I don't recall changing anything, this is acting as router, firewall, dns etc and everything is still working it would just be nice to have it showing online on the topology with the rest of the devices, perhaps port/rule related in pfsense?


Thanks in advance

I've been running pfSense and Unifi for years and never really thought about the pfSense device on the topology map. Just checked and the LAGG uplink to it shows as a random switch behind my desk with that switch's clients missing :D.

With Ubiquiti firmware I am just happy when the core networking is okay.
 
Version 9 of Network Application has dropped for Early Access (beta).

UniFi Network Application 9.0.92 adds Zone-Based Firewall, CyberSecure, Network Application API, and includes the improvements and bugfixes listed below.

Zone-Based Firewall settings

The new Zone-Based Firewall on UniFi Gateways categorizes different parts of your network into zones and allows for more granular and simplified policy management.

  • Segment your network by using fewer, simpler policies, reducing complexity and increasing visibility.
  • Configure specific policies to govern which traffic can pass between zones, based on Network Objects, IPs, ports, applications, and more.
  • The migration to Zone-Based Firewall is irreversible unless you restore a backup prior to the migration.
  • Existing policies that cannot be migrated to a single zone will be duplicated to multiple pairs.
  • Requires UniFi (Cloud) Gateway firmware version 4.1 or newer.
  • See the Zone-Based Firewall Help Center article for more information.
CyberSecure

CyberSecure is a per-site subscription that enhances the threat signature library used by the Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS). It is available for all UniFi (Cloud) Gateways besides the Express and UXG-Lite.

  • Requires UniFi Cloud Gateway 4.1.8/UniFi Gateway 4.1.3 and newer.
  • See the CyberSecure Help Center article for more information.
Network Application API

The API provides powerful tools to manage Sites, Devices, and Clients, offering access to detailed configuration, real-time status, and live statistics. It supports insights for WiFi, Wired, and VPN clients, including connection details.

  • Available through Control Plane > Integrations.
  • Requires a Cloud Gateway with UniFi OS 4.1.9 or newer.
  • Next versions will include more data, so leave comments on what you would like to see.

Improvements​

  • Added support for re-ordering the Dashboard widgets.
  • Added the ability to Locate or Restart devices from the Device table when hovering.
  • Added the ability to edit VLANs in the Port Manager > VLAN page.
  • Added support for MongoDB 8.0 and Java 21 on Network Servers.
  • Added Source name in Threat Detection email notifications.
  • Added support for ed25519 SSH Keys for Device Authentication.
  • Added WiFi Band column in the WiFi Settings table.
  • Added support for third-party networks in IP and MAC ACLs.
  • Added warning when configuring a Site-to-Site VPN with overlapping subnets.
  • Added QoS in the Routing section within Settings.
  • Requires the new Zone Based Firewall.
  • Added support for Override WAN Monitors in the BGP Configuration.
  • Requires UniFi Cloud Gateway 4.1.7/UniFi Gateway 4.1.3 or newer.
  • Added support for Link Aggregation on the EFG and UXG-Enterprise.
  • Requires UniFi Cloud Gateway 4.1.8/UniFi Gateway 4.1.3 or newer.
  • Allow duplicate IP addresses for different WANs when configuring Site-to-Site VPNs.
  • Improved the Threat System Log user experience.
  • Improved the Honeypot user experience.
  • Improved the Port Forwarding user experience.
  • Improved the Client page user experience on large setups.
  • Improved the WAN Packet Capture user experience.
  • Improved the Security Settings user experience.
  • Improved the Intrusion Prevention Active Detections Categories.
  • Improved the Radio Manager user experience.
  • Improved the Dashboard loading latency.
  • Improved the port warnings in Port Manager.
  • Improved filtering on the Devices page.
  • Improved Statistics accuracy for Internet Activity in the Dashboard and Traffic Statistics.
  • Improved the Airtime scanning user experience.
  • Improved the WiFi Connectivity page user experience.
  • Automatically turn off wireless meshing if a device is adopted via a wired connection.
  • Increased default channel width to 80MHz for the 5GHz radio.
  • Moved Firewall Connection Tracking settings to the NAT section.
  • Moved the Traffic and Device Identification settings to System > Advanced.
  • Renamed DNS Shield to Encrypted DNS.
  • Renamed Country Restrictions to Region Blocking.

Bugfixes​

  • Fixed an issue where NAT rules sometimes didn't work on the UXG-Lite.
  • Fixed incorrect timezone for Network Application Activity Logging to SIEM Servers.
  • Fixed invalid mixed speed warning on ECS-Aggregation switches.
  • Fixed an issue where the Network Application changelogs were missing on fresh Network Server installations.
  • Fixed an issue where the last known uplink could be missing if it was a mesh uplink.

Just out of curiosity, what network cables are people using in their home setup? I have the Ultra and a mini flex for example. Its not in a cabinet or anything fancy. Are you guys buying Ubiquiti's network cables? I want them to be aesthetically pleasing if you see what I mean.

Bog standard Connectix Cat6...Ubiquiti cables are stupidly expensive
 
They're cables, I don't care about them. Just get a named brand rather than some Amazon "Cat7" special, most of mine are Excel ones that were borrowed from work.

thanks. I wasn't sure if i was going to get a 25m roll cable and start doing my own patching. I'll get a few variety lengths to complete my hog podge home setup.

Unless you've a real desire to make them made to measure or the like then save yourself the hassle and buy premade patch leads - the small cost is worth it in saving your time and patience.

However, you you need to go though any walls, I’d recommend making your own as the hole needed to get RJ45 through is over twice the size of just the cable on its own.
