Domotz Ubiquiti UniFi Integration
Remotely monitor your UniFi devices including network switches, WiFi controllers and access points, get device status alerts and access enhanced network management features for certain UniFi devices.
How to set-up the Domotz Ubiquiti UniFi Integration
If you have a Local or a Cloud controller (e.g. on Hostifi) you can unlock advanced features inside Domotz.
How to connect your UniFi Controller
The UniFi Controller can be connected via the “Devices External Services” on a per-agent-basis (see below) from either the UniFi tile, an UniFi device, or the generic device list.
When connecting an external controller it creates a new external host device so it consumes one of the monitored external hosts.
When connecting a local controller the controller device will be unlocked with the provided credentials.
Note: Make sure you always enter your port number, like shown in the screenshot below, in case you don’t use the default one.
Please note that this integration will work only on devices which can be reached by the Domotz agent on Layer 2, and for devices which reside in VLANs configured in Domotz.
For this reason, devices which reside on Layer 3 Routed Subnets will not be monitored by the Ubiquiti Unifi Integration.
Please note that the UniFi controller must be always online to respond to ARP pings, otherwise the integration won’t work.
