Has anyone tried the UniFi failover wan device

added states
wan = up/down
wan2 = up/down
macwan2 = mac number of wan2

if wan is down wan2 data is used for wan info, only mac# of wan stays

you can use change of state wan2 => "up" to trigger a failover

that seems to be working for GATEWAY pro, but have not tested a fail over

will do some more tests, and waiting for your mca-dump info

Not sure this is an error or not but the recent plug-in is reporting that the USG is in load balance mode when it is actually in failover mode. Not sure if this is a USG issue or a plugin issue?

I would need the controller dict. If you could mail me ?

I sent you the GW and controller dict files from the data folder to your email address

Just reenabled this great plugin yesterday and haven't used it in a while.

Wondering how to configure the LTE in the Plugin? Specifically, when clicking on "Edit Device Settings" it the plugin defaulted "which info to be used for status updates" to "Switch" Not being device status updates when restarting the LTE device on my network.

Should I be adjusting the Gateway devices settings as well? there is an "in case of wan failover event" option there?

Thanks,
mjc

the LTE= ?

the LTE= ?

Hi Karl,

Sorry that wasn't clear, I meant the "UniFi Redundant WAN over LTE" failover device.

Don't have that one, was considering it, but my att signal is not very strong at my house

could you send me the dict from the controller w LET connected and disconnected?
ssh unixid@controllerip
mca-dump

also do a
ssh unixid@ipofLTE
mca-dump


and send me the output: Karlwachs me com

@mjc: looking at the pricing: this is expensive!

1GB =$15, each extra = $10. (I hope thats byte not bits)

With one TV stream I have 3.9 Mb/s = 0.54MByte/s = 2000secs = 1 GByte that is 33 minutes of simple tv watching

Looking at the gateway stats: We have about 42 GByte per day download (1.89TB in 42 days),

==>One day running on the backup would be $400 (the hardware costs $200)

Using charter/spectrum as backup (cable) would be ~ $60/month = $720 in 1 year @ 240Mbit that is equivalent to ~ 2 days on the unifi LTE solution @ much lower speed
