This is a follow up to my ‘Frigate From Scratch’ post. Most of that post is still relevant today but I have since moved almost all of my workloads into Kubernetes.
This post is intended to document some of the issues I hit while trying to get Frigate running in my k8s cluster. This is not every issue I hit, just the ones that are not directly related to my specific environment/setup/workflows.
Bit of a change in format; instead of one massive post for all the misc. 11-11 teardowns, I’m grouping them. This post is the “LED Controller” group. I managed to snag the following on Ali Express:
To continue from last year’s trend, I waned to celebrate that all three of these LED controllers have:
To make a very long story short, I need to move away from my very old 802.15.4 radios plugged into a very old Raspberry Pi for my smart home setup. After some research, the SMLIGHT SLZB-MRW10 is new, uses modern radios and ships with firmware that makes it trivial to move packet processing into compute distributed on the other end of the network.
SFP modules interface to their host over what is essentially a low speed i2c interface and a few high-speed differential pairs.
Devices that can interrogate and re-program the SFP modules have been around for a while but they are either niche, esoteric, expensive, or all of the above.
People have been hacking on these things for a while:
The Ubiquiti SFP Wizard is a new entrant to the market.
Curiosity got the better of me when browsing AliExpress and I spotted this GPS NTP server for under $100 USD.
I needed a cart-stuffer anyways so I ordered one as a backup for my existing GPS/NTP server.
While waiting, I took a look around to see if there was any additional information about who makes this / if there was a custom firmware or similar.
Nope, there there is not a ton of information about the YK-1000H online.
