- My home network routes at around 2-4gbit/sec between 10gbit/sec DAC fibre connected hosts, and around 2gbit/sec via CAT8 for Thunderbolt 2.5Ggbit/sec laptop network interfaces.
- We two Ubiquiti wireless APs in a mesh configuration, with seperate SSIDs for 2Ghz, 5Ghz, guest and IOT networks. The guest and IOT networks are isolated from everything else.
- I use a Mikrotik router which hosts an iperf3 docker container for network testing
- I have a home server running Ubuntu Linux that hosts a bunch of services via docker containers, including Pi-Hole for DNS and a Ubiquiti Network Controller.
- I have a Google smart home setup with 2x Google Home Mini speakers, 1x Google Home Hub (1st) gen, 1x Google Doorbell, 1x Google Nest Smoke Alarm, 1x Google Nest Thermostat, and 2x Google Nest Cameras.
- We have a Phillips Hue light source setup, with 5 Hue lights in the Music Studio/Games room, which I set to strobe to music when I do my DJ sets, and setup as a Hue Entertainment Area when I play games/watch films. I also have Hue lights in the study and my bedroom, with dimmers etc.
- We have a robotic vacuum cleaner which helps Conny around the house. We call it ‘Dusterbuster’.
- Wherever possible, all devices have a wired network connection. Wireless is only used as a last resort, to minimise spectrum interference.
- We use ZeroTier as a VPN so that everything useful is accessible outside the home.
- We run a Plex server so that all music and video content is accessible outside the home, which is shared with friends.
