Starting Over. Ubiquity or Omada or...? (alien.top)

I am starting over and building out a kind of Christmas list here. I was thinking of moving to Ubiquity, but now I'm leaning toward Omada. This is for home use where I mostly want better support for VLANs as I do a lot of IoT/Home Assistant stuff.

Is Omada a good way to go?

You'll be happy with either I think. I run Omada and it's great for my home use. It was also less expensive and didn't have supply chain issues when I was searching. Today, I'm not sure but I have seen many complaining anymore that UniFi just isn't available. So I'm guessing they fixed that problem.

That's great - thanks. Do you know if I need a switch? Can I do things with an unmanaged third party switch? It seems like their switch has really loud fans.

FWIW I have a TP-Link managed switch (TL-SG2428P) and I’m very pleased with it. I also have Unifi APs and everything works well together. Unlike the Unifi gear the switch doesn’t have to run with the controller, not sure if the same is true for their APs.

The switch is pretty much silent.
