Feature Requests -- UDM Pro Support and backup file archival

So I live on the bleeding edge and just got one of these. The controller is built in to the device. When you log in via the web, you get a "Local Portal" FOR THE UDM DEVICE and then there's a link for the applications (Network, Protect, Access and Talk).

Current UnifAP plugin errors with UDM Pro.

Any chance you could look into this and maybe add support for the UDM Pro? Don't know if it is just a different path or if the

Also, another request that may be useful (if this can be done with Indigo) -- poll the device and copy down the backup file. on the UDM Pro, they're stored here: /data/unifi/data/backup. There is a meta.json with info on the backups there (manual for me now; auto probably in a few days).

Thanks!

Here's what startup looks like:

Re: Feature Requests -- UDM Pro Support and backup file arch

As I don’t have one it is difficult to integrate it.

If someone has a spare one, I can look at it.

It’s not just a change in path ...
the basics are likely similar but in order to make it work one Has to to really look into the details.

Re: Feature Requests -- UDM Pro Support and backup file arch

I have ordered one but I’m not sure when it’ll turn up. If it’s of any use to you I can set it up without removing my existing equipment and give you remote access?

Will do. It hasn't shipped yet (it only went on sale in Europe yesterday) but I'm hoping it won't take too long.

Re: Feature Requests -- UDM Pro Support and backup file arch

can't promise anything .. this thing seems to be a pure consumer item.

Hopefully it is not like the "protect" video version.. no api, no ssh ..

Re: Feature Requests -- UDM Pro Support and backup file arch

I can tell you that the non-Pro UDM is completely compatible with the Unifi plugin.

It was actually quite easy to make work with Indigo--as long as you're restoring from a backup that was already working with Indigo, Indigo doesn't even notice that there's new hardware.

Indeed.. I’ve seen the battles raging on places like reddit over it’s “pro” credentials.. I guess it depends on what you’re planning to use it for. To me it’s a no brainier.. cloudkey, switch and gateway all in a 1U rack module.. but of course my needs aren’t anywhere near what a high end pro would want.. but then neither are a lot of commercial environments where I think this will actually be more than suitable.

As for the video functionality I likely won’t be using that.. I’m very happy with SecuritySpy and unifi don’t do any cameras that are suitable for my needs (I bought one unifi camera as a test a while ago and I just use it with SS now). If the supported ONVIF then mebbe it’d be of use.. but for me it’ll likely remain dormant.

could you elaborate on it?

ie which device type do you use: switch gateway,...?

Re: Feature Requests -- UDM Pro Support and backup file arch

Mine is now all set up. Got it for the faster processing than the USG 3P. Not sure if I had an actual "need". Oh well.

It does allow SSH,

runs on port 443 vs 8443.

there is no http://host/api url path. It may have another but I haven't found it yet. :(

But this "unified-poller" says they support UDM Pro:

I have the all in one consumer Unifi Dream Machine. It's a switch, gateway and AP. Not rack mount.

Re: Feature Requests -- UDM Pro Support and backup file arch

I'm not entirely certain I understand the question, but I have the plugin pointed at the UDM's address.

Your question makes me wonder if I should add the same address as a AP and as a switch. I'll check when I get home.

Re: Feature Requests -- UDM Pro Support and backup file arch

there are several connections the plugin does:
1. to 0-5 APs
2. to 0-15 switches
3. to 0/1 gateway
4. to 0/1 controller

They all have an IP address. In principle you could assign the same IP address to all of them.

I guess you are just using ONE AP with ONE ip number?

you could add one switch and one gateway in config, all with the same IP number - and the controller too, where ever that runs.

Re: Feature Requests -- UDM Pro Support and backup file arch

The ssh login to the UDM pro uses the username root and a separate password (set in the UDM portion of the UI -- you just have the option to set the password from what the UnifiAPs and switches use (set in the network controller portion). I set the username/password for the Unifi devices to "root" and the same password and use these credentials in the existing plugin and it appears to be working correctly to access the gateway portion of the UDM.

So the only gap is support for direct access to the controller portion. Which I've currently disabled in the plugin. There does not appear to be a /api that works for the UDM.
