All,
I bought my Fibaro Intercom a long time ago, have experimented with it in the past, but only recently definitively installed it.
It seems that the heat sink inside the wall box reaches far too high temperatures.
Tested on the kitchen table with the termocouple near (but not against) the heat sink, each test lasted for >3 hours:
- Ethernet with PoE : 55 ° Celcius
- Ethernet with 12 VDC external power : 50 ° Celcius
- Ethernet with 9 VDC external power : 49 ° Celcius
Now it has been installed in the wall box, and I'm worrying what will happen when the sun will shine on it within a few months ?
I have also read the other topics, where it is indicated that this behaviour is normal, but I cannot imagine that such high temperatures are "healthy" for the inside electronics.
1. What is the experience of others who have been using the intercom for longer time ?
2. How can I measure/monitor the inside temperature of the device ?
Thanks before hand for your reply.
