Apparently a UniFi express will solve my issues I.e cheapest option …

The end goes into a rubber trap . That then has a reducing rubber which takes it down to 21mm pipe . The mvhr came with all this - so obviously I just used it . Making another seems more trouble than it’s worth . I’ve sourced everything else just this fitting .

So the ribbed one is called a 32mm Female Inlet Nut x 1.1/4" inch BSP Male Connector McAlpine 90° Bend - S4U Ordered one and will see if I can bodge it to fix .

Could always file the ribs off I suppose . Or just fill the rib gaps with ct1 ? The fitting this end goes into is rubber so assume would fit with a push

Yep - I found that . Wasn’t keen on 50 quid for the lot ! Screwfix do something similar but ribbed again

It came with the mvhr - I need another . It’s the drain vent outlet . So screws into that then smooth end slides into water less flexible trap .

I thought this would be easy to find. presumably I don't know exactly what it is called. Screw fitting is 32mm So it's an elbow but the thread is reversed i.e. it screws upwards. So like a 90degree conversion bend but screws upwards ( hope that makes sense ) I looked at threaded elbow drain threaded elbow 32mm elbow can't seem to find it... Nearest I've found is this https://www.bes.co.uk/polypipe-32-mm-white-threaded-coupling-solvent-11867/ or maybe this? https://www.toolstation.com/mcalpine-compression-bsp-connections-bend-90/p62086?store=null&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=_dc&pcrid=null&pkw=null&pmt=null&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD-vLcVa5oxgpUmv6KLSvo8W1HJDI&gclid=CjwKCAiA0rW6BhAcEiwAQH28IpW2puBtiAGeNWUHrUg0QczTpzLtjOM2H1swydNIFvQ9tGmzuqwRIhoCJEQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Assume the 'ribbed' end isn't an issue... could stick rubber washers over it I guess... What is it called!

I have ( had ! ) something similar . It wasn’t obvious how the water was getting in . I got my roofer to render the entire stack as we suspected that . Water still gets in ! . His next suggestion was he will have to strip the roof around the stack and possibly ( depending on what he finds ) remove the entire stack . Not much help to you though ….

Yeah I’ve moved my chime so it’s as near as possible to the front door . Mine ( since the last firmware update ) does occasionally get stuck in infra red mode I.e comes on a night but doesn’t turn off . Reboot through the reolink app seems to fix it . The reolink video doorbell is the best for a poe , no subscription, with chime doorbell . Just wish they’ve bring out a v3 ; where the chime is poe . Integrates nice into Home assistant - so use frigate for any detection uses .

I do . Been having issues where it loses its pairing with the chime which of course renders it somewhat useless . They sent me another (v2) which I think is worse . I believe they changed the wireless frequency between models . What I really want is the UniFi g4 because the chime is poe like the unit so no proprietary wireless issues . Persevering for now with reolink until I can find something else suitable .

Yeah no UniFi stuff . So it’s not like I’m adding it to an existing ‘protect’ network . I hate all subscription stuff .

Don’t have the doorbell yet - was going to order it . I don’t like being tied in by any manufacturer. If I get a hikvision , reolink etc etc etc up camera I’m free to chop and change at will . You would think a trivial video doorbell would be similar . Most want subscriptions . It’s unclear for example if you get ring and don’t subscribe can you still access your streams ? . Also ( as they are owned by Amazon ) the ‘30 days free’ could be capped at any point . As much local for me as possible … Unifi stuff seems really pricey - not convinced it’s particularly better . I guess it’s aimed at more ‘corporate’ so bumps the price .

This is where it gets confusing as I kept reading you need a cloud key , ud , dream thing otherwise I believe you have no remote access . It’s not clear at all . I read basic config from the UniFi app is possible . But I really shouldn’t need a seperate ‘ cloud key ‘ hardware running .

It’s a hardware device . Part of UniFi is to drag you into their cash cow !

Ok ! I’ve been googling for an hour and none the wiser ! g4 video doorbell ; needs a cloud key gen 2 + thing ??? Without it apparently “ limited functionality “ . You need “ protect “ … a what ? So without a “ protect “ device is UniFi stuff of no use ? It’s just a doorbell ! . Assume I can access its rtsp stream ( with no cloud ‘ cash grab ‘ hardware ) and record on frigate . Do I need this key thing ? .

And SWMBO flicks them all on because she cant remember which switch did what !

Actually … When you are not there @ProDave for a delivery can you tell the delivery guy to (expletive deleted) off ? - I can - that is worth gold

Because …. ( thinks for a minute ) … I want a video doorbell , customised notification , just make it overly complicated so I have something to do ! - that’s the one !!!

Record all conversations 😉

The problem I find is when an element starts working reliably ( like my lighting ) you then want to find something new to play with which of course requires buggering around .

All HA is buggering around ! 🤣👍

Yeah ! I’ve have it working super reliably maybe 90% of the time . Aq2 is good ! - sure aq3 is on its way . These detectors have advanced a lot in a short space on time .

FFS! Have I really got to spend nearly 400 quid on a unifi G4 Doorbell Pro PoE Kit!!!!!

I’ve given up with their doorbell ! Reliably getting it to pair with the chime is impossible! . Tried to circumvent this issue by not using the chime and have the button push call a notification in home assistant . Much better ! But still the doorbell can ‘freeze’ on a button push and therefore no event triggered ! Reolink have been awesome . Told them it was crap and they said to return for a full refund ! So ! Need another video doorbell , poe , no subscription crap , no cloud based crap , works would be nice !
