UniFi Cloud Key
-
@Dashrender @JaredBusch Im worried that with the previous experience I had with them starting the adoption then not communicating again that it may happen again... Anyways this is not a big deal, one AP in a small office. I dont have a very big UNIFI infrastructure anyways... im running Cisco APs at the main office (as they fail I will replace them with a different brand) I'll just have it on my agenda next time I decide/have to go out to that site to play with it some more.

This is almost a poor man's Meraki.

Except it works better and is more powerful. It's more the smart man's Meraki

You're going to need to explain that one to me. There don't seem to be near the options in Unifi that Meraki has.

@Dashrender What useful features do you see missing? And you have to compare things like "features" to things like performance, cost and reliability. It takes a LOT of "features" to overcome performance, for example.
-
The traffic analysis stuff in Meraki can be pretty nice (though expensive) knowing that one AP, network connection/whatever is swamping your network watching YouTube videos, etc.

While nice that it is built in and really easy to get to, this is generally a really rare thing to want and not a feature unique to Meraki, you can get that info from Ubiquiti gear too.

And....? How is it?

Did the device change?
I don't recall the original pictures indicating the need for power through Micro USB.
This current model appears to require an ethernet cable between the switch and the device, the old one from memory had a built in RJ45 to plug directly into the switch. Of course, I can see where that might be undesirable, I am just checking to see how crazy I am today.

You have offices big enough to run UniFi gear but too small for a single server? Not that that seems impossible just unlikely.
Yeah, and a Raspberry pi can run this and a lot cheaper too. and can do other stuff.. This is obsolete when they start changing their platform much.

Looks like it's incase you don't have PoE for it.

No. It comes with a short 3" Cable. You only need the Mirco USB connector if you don't have PoE. The power cable in not included

@anonymous 3 inches? That is short! Or is it 3 feet?

@anonymous gets bonus points for the Dr. Seuss references.
