This is the JetKVM DC extension. It contains a relay and rp2040 to control power to the target computer using uart. It can also power the JetKVM through the exension cable.

Sadly I can't use it until github.com/jetkvm/dc-extension is solved. Obviously this seems to be low priority at JetKVM, given that the firmware has 4 commits and no activity in three months. :/

My first #JetKVM arrived and it is indeed so much better than any existing 'enterprise' integrated KVM it's absolutely ridiculous. #homelab

what are your stories with the #jetkvm ?
I'm looking forward to receive mine, but until then, maybe someone has already some hints?

In one week I received firstly the GL-iNet #comet I pre-ordered then the 2 #JetKVM i kickstarted.

Will need to be installed, notably the JetKVM ATX extension in the #homelab 😅

Received my JetKVM today!

First thing I have done after connecting was running an update - this fixed the issue of getting a new MAC address after each boot.

But still USB is not recognized and HDMI only works for a few seconds after rebooting the server 😞

A turned on JetKVM device on top of a wooden desk. On the left there is a part of a black computer case and it's fan grid visible. In the background there is a 8 port ethernet switch, one Raspberry Pi with a case and one Raspberry Pi without a case.

The JetKVM device has a small display showing its IP and MAC address. It can be used to remote control the attached server via USB mouse or keyboard and see its screen via HDMI.A small screenshot from the JetKVM web interface which says the following:

No HDMI signal detected.

#JetKVM kam letzte Woche an und hat mir direkt geholfen, als ich mich ausgesperrt habe 😅

Die Auslieferung hatte sich verzögert, weil man aufgrund der Zölle erstmal alle Kunden in den USA beliefert hat. Leider hat man das erst recht spät kommuniziert.

I finally got a reply from #JetKVM! Over a month after my original email. The reply was:

We know you are owed some parts, but tariffs exist now, so AMFYOYO

So that's nice.

My #jetkvm finally came, so probably soon I’ll migrate my Linux containers from #proxmox to #incus 🤣

I’m not sure if this will be migration of whole containers or I’ll have to create new ones in incus and migrate data, but anyway, proxmox is too big for me, not for my private usage.

JetKVM showed up today and tested it out with my Macintosh Plus with a USB4VC (keyboard/mouse) and RGB2HDMI (video).

Had to update the USB4VC to use usbhid.mousepoll=0 as a kernel parameter to get the keyboard and mouse working.

Few oddities like changing streaming quality to low and the mouse to relative positioning. Mouse tracking is still really off though, but it's usable.

Opted for the DC power extension too and can power on the Mac remotely since I have a PicoPSU in it that uses a power brick. Pulls about 23watts.

@estevez thanks for sharing your experience with home lab. much appreciated! On #jetKVM, where did you buy it?

I didn't know you can upload an iso image to the #JetKVM and mount it to boot from! Installing #Proxmox to the new node has never been simpler.

So I fixed my #bike and had a joyful morning ride today. Because My last bike ride was several years ago and because my #jetKVM arrived today!

For the HP Prodesk G4 (and other HP models) if the Keyboard or Mouse isn't working in the UEFI Firmware or Grub menus the workaround in the JetKVM is to go to:

Hardware -> Settings -> USB Devices

and select Keyboard Only in Classes.

There is something wonky with HP devices USB HID support at Boot that means it won't detect JetKVM USB HID devices if the Classes option is set to more than one item in the Classes list.

Weird 🤔🤷‍♂️

If anyone is working with a JetKVM and needs a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that works then this lower cost device seems to do the trick:

amazon.co.uk/dp/B081GMCNNF

~£7 or so and seems to work with the test machine I have here (an HP Prodesk G4) which only offers Displayport output on the unit I have (an HDMI module for the HP is available).

You might come across USB issues with the HP Prodesk devices and the JetKVM but you can alter the USB HID setting for the JetKVM via the Settings -> Hardware -USB Devices section 😊

Not having a Grub boot menu to switch between Kubuntu and Windows 11 would probably help here 🤷‍♂️🤭

The KVM seems to be working in Windows 11 and Kubuntu.

My JetKVM DC power extension came in. I ordered it before the splitter was to be included.

I don’t think i have a use for the DC power extension at this point.

Still cheaper than competitive solutions. And I’ve gotten pretty good use out of the JetKVM at this point.

I have more use of it in the immediate future as I plan some minor changes to my homelab.

So I have this thing and I’m not sure if I need it now.

In any case, JetKVM is really good for homelabs. Check it out.

Meine #JetKVM's wurden geliefert... echt wertig und funktioniert im Prinzip.
Habs nun nur mit nem alten Raspi getestet, wo ich zwar den Bootvorgang sehe, aber dann nichts weiter geht. Kann aber sein, dass es an der Raspi Config liegt und ich da was verkonfiguriert habe.

Da ich auch die Serial Option geordert habe, hab ich dann mal einen alten Cisco-Switch verbunden. Das hat nun noch nicht so geklappt... muss ich aber auch nochmal genauer schauen...

Muss mal schauen, ob ich wirklich 3 JetKVM brauche...
