I've been using Unifi for about 4 years at home, not perfect but a big step up from consumer grade equipment which was never all that reliable. Centralized management simplifies things significantly as I have 10 unifi devices (and a pfsense gateway). There are some advanced configurations that can't be done from the GUI, but I can do 99% of what I need to. If starting new, a UDM pro, a few AP lites, and some switches makes a lot of sense.

I appreciate that you mention (albeit very briefly) your negative experiences with Ubiquiti. One thing that I miss in all these videos hyping Ubiquiti is just that: their stuff has bugs all over the place - or is it hardware issues? I still haven't figured out after mailing with their support for six weeks. Their support sucks: long response times, inconsistent communication (probably because it's a different person responding every time, but you don't know because the don't sign with their name), and if you mention more than one issue, they just pick the easiest one and ignore the others. The biggest issue with Ubiquiti/Unifi is, however, that it will not work with third party switches or access points. Not only will clients connected through those devices not show up in the controller, but the whole network will become unreliable. It's worse than the Apple ecosysten, which couldn't care less about compatibility. So if you get into Ubiquiti, beware that you need to go all the way and will basically be locked in. I'm still not sure whether I want to do that. But the UDM looks so nice with its blue LED...

I am about to fix the home network setup here since me and the wife are both working from home and I "almost" gave up on getting the UDM because of the need for a cloud account. I already have an AP-Lite, and will add other pieces later. For now, it'll be an UDM, change my ISP provided "router" to bridge and use my D-Link (DIR-868L with custom firmware) as a "temporary" switch for the living room. Over the weekend I was actually watching you previous video and taking notes to speed up my setup when I get the UDM. If you have any new firewall rules that you didn't mention before but are useful (like for Plex server, Alexa, etc), please add those in your next video or in the blog post, so we can follow.

The fact that it can be disabled later still doesn't erase what it says about the company direction. And trust and support of the company is the most important thing to me when it comes to devices that are in charge of (and can see all of) all of the traffic on my network.

Food for thought: I think the concept of trusting companies is a bad idea. Companies are like living entities, when times are good they have freedom to grow, make promises and generally make good decisions. However, when times get tough all bets are off and survival becomes the only goal. The best thing to do is look at the "why" behind things. Why would Ubiquiti require cloud login for activation? My guess is to keep track of 2nd hand devices and prevent the second hand market for EoL devices. Ubiquiti needs to keep selling equipment since they don't have subscription or licencing fees, and keeping old but capable devices out of the market is advantageous for them. I don't know for sure if this is their reasoning, and I certainly don't love it as a consumer, but it makes good business sense. Now lets look at their reasoning for possibly spying on your traffic. How much money is to be made from selling data on DNS queries, DPI data, and internal unencrypted traffic? Probably not a ton. How much money would be lost if it came out that Ubiquiti was spying on their security focused user base? All of the money. It is advantageous for Ubiquiti to keep your data safe, so they probably will, not because you can trust them, but because it's good for them.

@@TheHookUp interesting thoughts (and thanks for your thoughtful reply), but i disagree on the why part. I think what is most likely is that the number of logins they have tied to hardware in the field is a metric they are trying to increase... probably for investor reasons. I see lots of companies moving to force existing customers to login, or run a certain way, just to improve a metric. The amount of effort microsoft is putting in to force users to sign into windows using a microsoft is insane! to the point where you need to unplug the network cable before installing windows 10 to even see the option to use a local account. and then, with every update they are putting up windows telling you that you haven't finished setting up your computer yet, and you are missing out on features. It is sickening. The trend is to get people away from local accounts and use cloud accounts. So this step forces you to make an account and sign in, with no other way to use the device at all. The fact that you can log in and turn it off is just something they are hoping most people don't do but it will appease some of the crazy folks like us. I just find the direction wrong and in the company's interest and not the customer's interest. And as you say, this is just one step - the direction of the company almost guarantees there is more to come.

This is still an amazing video to refer to. It's a shame a lot of Unifi products are currently hard to find or out of stock. I am still waiting for a replacement for the Unifi USG. I got myself a second hand USG-Pro to handle the higher speed internet I now have, but I really would like to see Unfi do something in the home user budget range. I can't justify the cost of the UXG Pro for home use

Thanks for all your videos! Would you please do a video explaining your computer hardware & software? I'm wanting to mimic several of your systems/processes, but I'm not sure where to begin with the computer components... Questions like: do you have individual computers running your home assistant, nvr, etc, or are they all running on the same machine; what operating systems, software, etc? Thanks & looking forward to more of your projects!

Upgrading from the Amplifi HD soon. Good to see the Ubiquiti business products are just as simple to configure. Definitely beats reinstalling PfSense on a new Raspberry Pi every other year😝

Great timing, Rob!! I've been wanting to emulate your network infrastructure ever since you put out the first series, and I've gotten more serious about it lately. I've been concerned about some negative press I've seen related to Ubiquiti recently, though, and I'll be the first to admit I don't completely understand the jest of it. But, you seem to remain loyally sold on the system, so I'm pressing on in that direction. As others have mentioned, I'll be looking forward to your follow-ups. Thanks!! ~Frank
