August 30, 2024 – Improved security and flexibility on Ubiquiti UniFi Controllers, additional integration scripts, enhancements, and more.

5 min

We are thrilled to share the latest improvements on Ubiquiti UniFi Controllers, enhancements, new integration scripts, and updates from Domotz.  

We highly value your feedback and encourage you to contact our support team at support@domotz.com for any comments, questions, or suggestions you may have. 

New features and integrations

New feature

Support Accounts with MFA on Ubiquiti UniFi Controllers integration

Firstly, we introduce support for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) within the integration of Ubiquiti UniFi Controllers. This new feature provides enhanced security and flexibility for you by offering two distinct options for account management: 

  • Option 1 (recommended): Configure a Local Admin Account – This approach is ideal for users who need a simple configuration flow and serves as an effective workaround for your Sites even after the Ubiquiti Cloud Accounts MFA enforcement. 
  • Option 2: Use the Multi-Factor Authentication Seed – Specifically designed for users who need to comply with stringent security protocols, this option ensures that MFA is fully integrated and operational, providing more protection. 

Local UniFi Controller accounts already in use by users would remain unaffected.

Our help article, Ubiquiti UniFi Integration, provides a comprehensive guide to help you implement this feature seamlessly. We encourage you to take advantage of these new capabilities to enhance your network security.

Support Team

Through this tab, you can enable access for Domotz Support Team, if requested, when opening tickets.

 

Manufacturer Support

By accessing this section, you’ll grant access to your Network directly to the manufacturer. Please note that the access will expire 3 hours after it is activated.  

Please note that this section is only visible when supported devices are present in the network. 

Residential Support App (or residential and integrator use)

In this section, you can enable your Customer to access their network through the Violet  – Residential Support App, and manage their permissions, limiting Devices visibility or actions.
