Im new to ST and recently moved into a house thats ~2900sq ft with a 3 car attached garage. My network setup: ST v2 hub in basement under stairs plugged into a Linksys E2500 running Tomato firmware (acting as a wifi repeater on the 5ghz band, and AP on the 2.4 band. I may switch this around), 1TB …

Moisture sensors are typically Zigbee, yes. But there are several Zwave models also. There are some good multisensors that are Z Wave for temperature, Lux, and movement. Both Fibaro and the Aeotec are pretty popular in the community. Zigbee sensors tend to be a little smaller and have better batte…

I use this moisture sensor. It is Zwave http://www.lowes.com/pd_422362-45367-TST01-1___

So do you just want wifi repeaters? They never work right at the consumer level. 2900 sq ft spread across 3 floors should not require anything significantly over engineered. Is your house wooden framed or metal? I have ethernet runs in each room so dropping a unifi WAP in the master, main living…

2900 finished sq ft. 1400 unfinished basement (but I use it daily). Wood framed, with stone facade on the front. My plan is like yours with the network closet under the stairs, but that was a no-go for wifi distribution limitations. So I utilized existing RG6 from the previous owners DirecTV, to…

The older Pro models are just as good as the lite’s. FYI. Ebay is also a great place to pick this stuff up really cheap. Lots of businesses turn over their stuff and it ends up there… I think you are on the right track with wifi distribution, frankly with that type of house, one unifi Pro WAP in …

If I were to go with these, I’d put one on the main floor and another on the second floor. Not multiple in the attic. Id really like the dual band so I may look at the pros on eBay. I was at work and they block ebay… Now that I’m mobile, I can search till my heart is content. @jdroberts ive book…

I use net gear internet over cable run from upstairs to 1st floor. Rock solid 270 mbit sustained. Dont know if you can still get them. I have a separate cable run for this as we had direct TV and cable both. As for the router I cannot stress enough put it in the middle of the house on first floor. …

So, reading your OP, are you just not happy with your current wifi coverage or how the devices look or both? Are you intending to wipe out your current equipment and start over or ? The initial thought of using the plenum rated cable to link the two routers would be a (somewhat) easy solution to get…

Exactly. Initially I wanted to hide the equipment as best as possible while providing coverage to all 3 floors. Now ive been exposed to the ubiqiuti routers, it’s still possible, but with new/additional equipment. Does the plenum rated cable idea make the most sense/easiest way to do this? Any …
