I use a Meross. Works very well with HomeKit.

MyQ was always a piece of garbage for me. Damn thing would error out and become non responsive after 5-10 openings, and would require a reboot. Could never figure out the root issue. Tech support was worthless. My hunch is that it doesn’t play nicely with Unifi equipment, or I’m getting interference from industrial sites nearby.


The Postal Service (or technically FedEX or UPS). Worked for The Postal Service.


My server closet was a mess. I kept justifying it by saying I didn’t need to waste money on proper rack equipment. Finally cracked and upgraded to a 15u rack and got some 3D printed rack housing for some of my non-rack equipment. Everything looks so clean now. Vanity project? Yes. Expensive? Yes. Am I happy with it? Yes. Do I wish I did it five years ago? Yes.

Do it. Go a little bigger than you need. Airflow. Expansion. Whatever. I probably could have made an 8u work but I’m happy with a 15u.


Eh. Frigate+Shinobi on Docker has been the simplest solution I’ve found. ZoneMinder was always difficult. BlueIris was a resource hog.
