3D printed 1U Rack Mount for my new C8

Looks great. The one thing that holds me back from putting my hubs (specifically my hue bridge and Lutron pro 2 bridge) in my rack is because of the farrady effect which would be made worse because my rack is in the basement of the house.
Same here for the Hue and a C-7 without the antenna mod. @lewis.heidrick's mount does have holes for the SMA connectors so you can extend the antenna outside the rack.
It's on my to-do list along with one of the magnetic remote antenna mounts to put them on the bottom of the rack (mine is wall mounted).

Yeah, sadly I'm not good enough to do antenna work (or even know what kind to do) on my Hue bridge and Lutron Pro 2 bridge
It looks like the Hue switch would be the same as the antenna mod on the C-7. I may take the plunge this weekend and I'll detail out the process if it works. I don't have a Lutron bridge to test.
EDIT: OH! It looks like the Hue already has an MS156 port on the PCB, so you just need a conversion cable to SMA for the antenna.
@bertabcd1234 do you know of any way to get connection stats off the Hue bridge? I mean Zigbee connection info.
