Horaco 2.5GbE Managed Switch (8 x 2.5GbE + 1 10Gb SFP+)

[peppebytes]

Thank you for sharing so nice dashboard.
Just a small cosmetic suggestion if you don't mind.
It would be nice if color of port corresponds with color of speed value in the SPEED column.

Great suggestion that already implemented in the last release 2026.5.1 where i added many features

I don't know if it works with others too but I am confident.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with this Keeplink device:



Besides being able to log in, there's no data:

if you want to try this Add possibility to extend the set of supported models · Issue #4 · byte4geek/switch-dashboard i can try to implement it

 

[pigr8]

that is actually nice, i would try this in a lxc container and test my two ampcom switch.. maybe exposing the data to homeassistant with a custom integration also so i can monitor specific things, good job

 

[peppebytes]

send data and statistic to home assistant is a good feature, i can implementing this via mqtt protocol with autodiscovery.

In the meantime I created a new branch GitHub - byte4geek/switch-dashboard at multi-models-yaml-support
this is a big change release for support new models in the future without changing the code every time , you can implementing other models of the switches simply by creating a new file yaml into device-template folder.

I need some one that try this new branch because with my switch it works fine.

 

[peppebytes]

in the new branch i added the yaml for RTLPlaygroung firmware but i don't know if it works

Latest firmware :


Just receive it from KeepLink representative. Short advice: do the upgrade from a PC/Laptop because i have try from mobile and didnt work.He failed. In case do fails change you ip address to 192.168.1.X connect to lan to switch and access : http://192.168.1.1 not http://192.168.1.168 as is written of the switch. You will get directly in the web page of the upgrade process.

Hi
I see that you put a day a switch in hardware version 3.1. Do you know if a lower version like 2.2 in hardware version would be compatible with this firmware ?

 

[peppebytes]

I have integrated a network map page on switch-dashboard in the release 2026.6.2, it show all clients where are connected.
It support RTLPlaygroung firmware, unmanaged switch, Proxmox OVS (virtual switch)

So confirmed it didn't work with HW v2.2 (firmware v1.6)

Got a boot loop.

Noob in thos situation, what to do ?

There's no temperature sensor on this switch I guess?

Unless it has a recovery mode, you might need a hardware flasher and a suitable clip to directly write a working firmware to the flash chip.

You really shouldn't flash firmwares meant for one hardware revision on another if you don't know how to recover from it.

How do you update to the newer versions?

With the Automated Install, it still installs version 2026.6.1.

 

[peppebytes]

actually on github there is 2026.6.4

 

[kameleons]

actually on github there is 2026.6.4

Well, the version doesn't show up for me. I opened an issue on GitHub for the user. Let's see if they explain how to update it.

 

[Gallamoth]

Which 2.5G 8 ports managed one from aliexpress is the go-to nowadays? Any specific model/brand to looking for with the best support from the community?

 

[pigr8]

i think i would go with the horaco 8+2sfp

 

[bards1888]

what is the latest firmware for this switch, Mine is hardware rev 1.1 running firmware 1.9

 

[DRUROB]

Hi!
i am new in this forum. I assigned to this forum because i have the same issue like the other guys before...
i bricked my Horaco Switch with a wrong firmware. i have the SWTGW218AS with one sfp Port and the 8 2.5G Ports.

I have tried to update the firmware with an CH314 with all the versions you can see in the screenshots.


All of them doesnt word only the RTLPlayground seems to be writable on the chip.
i can go to the website of the Switch with the RTL Firmware , but then i cant change anything. for instance the static ip.... no reaction to the save button.

the question is more... do i have to change something in the firmware files listed above before i write them to the chip?
I think i understood that the firmware is out of the box usable.... if not please correct me...

Thx an regards !

you need a spi dump there's a few on github
after you flash it use the hidden menu's to set it back to your mac and such

then you can dump the spi unique to your device once its setup

i have a dump of mine with 1.9.1 but you should be able to get a spi dump from github
