## Session Summary

Built a Syncro estimate for a UniFi WiFi 7 network deployment for Deere Park Development, LLC (contact: Richard Glabman, rglabman@dpa-inc.com). The request was to spec current-generation UniFi U7 access points plus a UCG Ultra gateway and a UniFi PoE switch, with an explicit requirement to verify the switch had enough PoE budget for the selected APs. Target layout: 3 primary (later 4) wired APs and 2 indoor/outdoor mesh units.

The bulk of the session was iterative hardware selection driven by a power-budget analysis. The user's initial switch pick — a 16-port PoE "Lite" (USW-Lite-16-PoE, 45W budget, 1GbE only) — could not power three U7 Pro-class APs (3x U7 Pro = 63W, over the 45W budget) and would also throttle the APs' 2.5GbE uplinks to 1GbE. We compared U7 Lite/Pro/Pro Max draw (13/21/25W), confirmed the current "U7 Mesh" is the WiFi 7 indoor/outdoor mesh unit (13W, mounts included), and confirmed the UCG Ultra is USB-C powered (draws nothing from the switch). The user clarified the mesh units would run on their own PoE injectors (off the primary switch), then asked about a "POE 8 Pro" (USW-Pro-8-PoE: 120W but 1GbE RJ45 — power fine, still throttles 2.5G). After weighing options, the user selected the USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE (8x 2.5GbE PoE++, up to 196W with its required 210W AC adapter) with 3x U7 Pro.

Final BOM iterations: confirmed U7 Mesh ships with wall/pole/table mounts (no mount line needed); confirmed there is no current WiFi 7 outlet-plug "beacon" successor to the U6 Extender (nearest are the U7 In-Wall, which needs an Ethernet drop, and the UniFi Express 7 / UX7, a USB-C desktop unit, indoor only). The user briefly considered swapping both mesh units for 2x UX7 but reverted to keeping the U7 Mesh units. Added a misc materials/cabling line (Cat6 ~150ft, pass-through ends @ $2, mounts/ties), bumped U7 Pro to 4 units (rechecked: 84W of 196W, 5 of 8 ports), and set onsite labor to 4.5 hrs.

Created the estimate in Syncro: ticket #32366 "Estimate - UniFi WiFi 7 Network Deployment" + linked estimate #7190, 8 line items, subtotal $2,816.70. Hardware priced at UniFi US MSRP + 20%; labor at $175/hr onsite (non-taxable). A hidden internal note with full MSRP-to-quote sourcing and the power design was added to the ticket, and a #bot-alerts summary was posted. New client folder created.

## Key Decisions

- **Switch: USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE over USW-Lite-16-PoE and USW-Pro-8-PoE.** The Lite-16 (45W) can't power 3x U7 Pro and is 1GbE-only; the Pro-8 has the watts (120W) but its RJ45 ports are 1GbE (only the SFP+ are multi-gig), throttling the U7 Pro 2.5GbE uplinks. The Flex 2.5G gives full 2.5GbE PoE++ ports. Chosen by the user.
- **210W AC adapter (UACC-Adapter-AC-210W) is a required line item.** The Flex 2.5G ships without an adapter ("AC/DC adapter Excluded") and only reaches 196W PoE with it. The UCG Ultra cannot feed PoE upstream, so the switch must be AC-powered — the adapter is not optional in this topology.
- **Mesh units off the primary switch on their own injectors.** Per the user, the 2x U7 Mesh run on U-PoE+ (30W) injectors, so they don't consume the switch's PoE budget. This is also normal for wireless-backhaul mesh placement.
- **U-PoE+ (30W) injector substituted for the legacy U-POE-AT.** Current gigabit injector at $15 MSRP; powers the 13W U7 Mesh fine.
- **Hardware priced at MSRP + 20%; onsite labor at 4.5 hrs.** User-selected pricing basis and labor estimate.
- **No WiFi 7 plug-in beacon exists.** Confirmed for the user; U7 In-Wall needs a drop, UX7 is a USB-C desktop (indoor only, not weatherproof/wall-mount like the mesh it would replace) — user kept the U7 Mesh.
- **Client slug `deere-park-development`** (Syncro business name) chosen for the new client folder; user refers to the client as "Glabman."

## Problems Encountered

- **Estimate computed $0.00 tax despite taxable hardware lines.** Root cause: the Deere Park customer record has no tax rate assigned (`tax_rate_id`, `taxable`, `tax_exempt` all null). The line items are correctly flagged `taxable: true`; tax will compute once an AZ rate is assigned to the customer/estimate. Flagged to the user to set during their manual tweak. Not a workflow error.

## Configuration Changes

- Created: `clients/deere-park-development/session-logs/2026-06-02-session.md` (this log)
- New client folder: `clients/deere-park-development/`

## Credentials & Secrets

- None created or discovered. Syncro API access via existing per-user key (mike, user_id 1735) baked into the `/syncro` skill.

## Infrastructure & Servers

- N/A — no servers touched. Syncro PSA SaaS only (`https://computerguru.syncromsp.com/api/v1`).

UniFi MSRP reference (pre-markup): UCG Ultra $129, Flex 2.5G 8 PoE $199, AC Adapter 210W $79, U7 Pro $189, U7 Mesh $199, U-PoE+ $15.

### Power design

- 4x U7 Pro wired @ 21W = 84W of the Flex's 196W PoE budget (with 210W adapter); 5 of 8 ports used (4 APs + UCG Ultra uplink). All AP uplinks full 2.5GbE.
- 2x U7 Mesh @ 13W on their own U-PoE+ injectors, off the switch.
- UCG Ultra USB-C powered (own 27W brick), draws nothing from the switch.

## Pending / Incomplete Tasks

- **User will tweak estimate #7190 in Syncro** before sending (stated). Two items to address there:
  1. **Assign AZ tax rate** to Deere Park (or the estimate) — currently $0 tax (~$168 at 8.3% if hardware is taxed).
  2. **Revisit misc materials ($120)** — built on assumptions (Cat6 ~150ft @ ~$0.30/ft, 10 pass-through ends @ $2, $35 mounts/ties); 4th AP run may push wire footage up.
- Estimate status is `Fresh` (not yet sent/approved).
