If you a re installing UniFi equipment for your end users then a cloud based solution is a great answer. Y ou can manage multiple sites for multiple customers all in one place. Some distributors and resellers even offer their own cloud- hosted options, but these carry an annual cost as well as admin fees.
UBIQUITI AIR CONTROL 2 FOR FREE
I t is n o t as hard to host your own Controller as you might think, and you can get t he software for free from the Ubiquiti website. If you are a home or small office user then you may want to opt for a local solution. This could be installed on a PC on site or hosted on a Cloud Key (more on these later). The blog post will cover a few typical use cases for the UniFi Controller as well as our recommended solutions. Managing your own home installation –Īlthough the UniFi range is aimed at the enterprise market, their compact and minimalistic design means they do not look out of place in the home. Managing a home scenario is relatively simple as you most likely will not need a machine on 24/7 to run the software. Support for these integrations is provided by the Home Assistant community. The UniFi Controller has versions available for the three main operating systems Mac, Windows and Linux. There is even an App for IOS and Android that you can use to perform a one time standalone setup. Typically we would suggest either running the software once on a local machine such as your latop or PC to get everything running then simply close the software. The access points will continue to run normally but you will lose out on some features, such as guest control and guest portals but to most people that doesn’t matter.
