New features and integrations
New features
Enhancing Domotz Public API for scalable automation
We’ve expanded the Domotz Public API to improve automation capabilities and streamline network management.
First, the API now provides programmatic access to the WAN (Public) IP address of each Collector, enabling tasks like active WAN connection verification, IP whitelist updates, and load balancing checks across multiple sites—reducing manual effort and enhancing efficiency.
Additionally, we’ve extended the API to support the Device Notes property. Network administrators can now retrieve notes via the listDevices and getDevice endpoints or update them using the editDevice API. This allows for consistent management of device-specific details such as labels or setup notes, ensuring smoother identification and documentation across your networks.
You are able to simplify network health checks, reduce manual effort, and boosts efficiency for teams managing large-scale infrastructures.
Add support for UniFi Cloud Controller
We’ve added support for UniFi Cloud Controller, including solutions like the UniFi Dream Machine and other local UniFi controllers.
By leveraging this new capability, users can improve device identification, streamline network management, and gain deeper insights into their UniFi-managed environments—all from within Domotz.
Once connected, Domotz retrieves detailed information about devices managed through the UniFi Cloud Controller, such as radio links, model details, serial numbers, and firmware versions. This integration ensures that your device data is periodically updated, providing an accurate and up-to-date view of your network.

Enhancements
Improved automatic Network Topology for Ubiquiti AirMax devices
We’ve enhanced the automatic Network Topology to provide better visibility for Ubiquiti AirMax devices connected via wired (Ethernet) interfaces.
Domotz now directly retrieves information about devices reachable through the AirMax Ethernet ports, ensuring they are seamlessly integrated into the network topology map instead of appearing as “floating” devices. Existing functionality that groups connected AirMax devices together is preserved, offering a clear and accurate representation of your network.
This improvement simplifies network monitoring and enhances clarity for environments leveraging Ubiquiti AirMax solutions.
New Filters and Sorting for Monitoring Configuration View
We’ve added powerful filtering and sorting options to the Monitoring Configuration View to make it easier to manage your devices.
You can now filter devices by type, status, and tags (importance) when deciding which ones to set as Managed or Unmanaged.
Additionally, you can sort devices by Last Added date, IP address, or Name for a more organized view.
These filters and sorting options apply to both the Discovered Devices and Managed Devices columns, helping you quickly find the devices you need and streamline your monitoring configuration process.
Device Management Interface Overview
1. Navigate to "Select Devices to manage" to access the device management interface.
2. In the "Networks" section on the left:
- View and expand different network categories such as "Physical and Virtual Networks" and "Routed Networks."
- Click on the network IP address (e.g., 192.168.68.50) to see the devices within that network.
3. In the "Devices" section in the center:
- Use the dropdowns to sort devices by "Last Added," "IP Address," or "Name."
- Filter devices by entering keywords such as Name, IP Address, Make, or MAC Address.
4. In the "Managed Devices" section on the right:
- Select individual devices or "Select All" to manage multiple devices simultaneously.
- Review device information such as name, discovery timing, and IP address.
- Note the device status icons, which may indicate connectivity or issues.
This interface allows efficient management and monitoring of various network devices.
Device Management Interface Overview
1. On the left panel, there is a navigation tree under "Networks," showing categories like "Physical and Virtual Networks" and "Routed Networks." Click to expand networks and view associated devices or IP ranges.
2. In the center, the "Devices" section lists discovered devices with options to sort by "Last Added" and filter. Click "Add" to include new devices, or use the filter bar to narrow the list by name, IP address, or MAC address.
3. The "Discovered Devices" list displays device names, discovery dates, and types. Selection boxes allow for bulk actions. Click a device for more details.
4. On the right, the "Managed Devices" section shows devices selected for management, allowing for additional administration tasks.
Manage and Filter Network Devices
1. In the Networks panel on the left, choose a network category such as "Physical and Virtual Networks" to view available networks.
2. Under the Devices section at the top, use the "Sort by" dropdown to organize devices by various criteria, such as "Last Added."
3. Use the "Filter by" dropdown to narrow down devices by types, like "Audio & Video," "Audio Player," or "AV Receiver."
4. Discovered Devices are shown on the left with details like MAC addresses and discovery time. You can select individual devices or choose "Select All."
5. On the right, under Managed Devices, you can manage selected devices with similar options, including visibility of device names and the duration since discovery.
Improved Devices List and Per-Device Collector Onboarding
We’ve enhanced the Per-Device Collector onboarding process to make it more intuitive and efficient. After installing a Collector, a new device selection modal will guide users through the setup process by displaying:
- The total number of discovered devices
- A list of recommended devices for management
- Other unmanaged devices
Users can easily adjust their selection or choose manual setup, which will redirect them to the Monitoring Configuration page. The unified device list now displays managed and unmanaged devices in a single view, complete with filters, sorting, and bulk actions for improved usability.
Clear counters for all devices ensure better visibility, simplifying the onboarding experience and making device management faster and more seamless.
Remove any DCPP reference from Portal/WebApp/Backoffice
We’ve removed all references to the DCPP program across the Portal, WebApp, and Backoffice. This update ensures alignment with our updated pricing strategy and eliminates any potential confusion related to the retired program.
