small nightmare: reset AP

So, realized I had to reset my AP to get control of it since the computer that was running Unifi Controller is no more.

Am I totally screwed regarding the matchup between old Unifi devices present in Indigo and the new ones that will, I assume, populate again at some point? Because right now, even though the plugin can find the AP and communicate with it, and the AP is at the same IP address it was and the SSID is the same as it was and a dozen+ devices reconnected automatically, Indigo thinks every single Unifi device, including the AP, is expired.

SmartThings refugee, so happy to be on Indigo. Monterey on a base M1 Mini w/Harmony Hub, Hue, DomoPad, Dynamic URL, Device Extensions, HomeKitLink, Grafana, Plex, uniFAP, Fantastic Weather, Nanoleaf, LED Simple Effects, Bond Home, Camect.

Re: small nightmare: reset AP

1. can you try to ssh to the AP with your controller id/password; type "mca-dump" w/o the " and check if you get a long dump. (thats the dict yo should see in step 2

2.check the indigo/unifi directory and check the AP dict files e.g.: . /Users/your id/indigo/unifi/dict-SW#1-Seq-0.txt
if they are old it can not connect if ok you should see:
{
"board_rev": 35,
"bootrom_version": "unifi-v1.5.7.216-ge491e681",
