Readit NewsBut I was mainly trying to think how to extend Zigbee-network over TCP (without LoRaWAN).
Currently it seems to be almost impossible.
I think it is somewhat common situation, when home zigbee network does not reach e.g. garage or some other near-distance building. Usually there is some ethernet/wifi network on the satellite building. So distances what LoRaWAN can reach, are not probably even needed.
Read a bit about the implementation, but I think it is easier to just ask: Could this work over general TCP somehow?
I know that is what I am waiting for.
My 2 cents go for Zigbee2MQTT, Mosquitton, and Domoticz. Domoticz has it's problems, but it's been a faithful workhorse for me for the past 6 or more years.
One way is also to use HAOS but it is kinda limited.
Current stack for me is HA+traefik+Z2M+Frigate+Mosquitto. All running in containers, on top of Debian. Works perfectly.
- an intel-based PC (can be a minipc, doesn't need a powerful CPU)
- a USB Coral TPU ($60)
- some wired PoE cameras (from $60 each)
My question: what do people typically use to power the cameras? A single PoE switch, or multiple PoE injectors?
My Arlo Pro 2 cameras are apparently EOL and might stop receiving free cloud services in a couple of months. So this seems like a good time to upgrade to higher resolution cameras.
(The Frigate docs advise against using Wi-Fi cameras, which would otherwise be my preference.)
I would not use WiFi cameras. Standard RTSP PoE h264 is the way to go.
I pretty much stopped submitting patches enabling v6 functionality to various projects back in 2005 as everything I cared about was working at that point. (Side note, I was just trying to search a few of those - but seems that period pretty much doesn't exist in search engine caches anymore. I knew the state of preserving internet history is bad, but I didn't expect it to be _that_ bad)

And Trey Harris's "500 mile email" story is what clued me on to GNU units and its capabilities.
Reminder: if you're on MacOS, or one of the BSDs, your default units is from BSD, not the GNU version, and is far less capable. GNU units can be installed on MacOS through Homebrew. The package is "gnu-units", the command is "gunits" once installed.
Edit: Corrected Homebrew package name.
brew install gnu-units
Goal here would be one zigbee network which is extended to satellite location over TCP.
