I couldn't get my Elgato Key Light Air (or whatever its called) to work on my Unifi network - something was amiss with the WLAN settings that others reported was specific to unifi.

I didn't like how they stopped supporting on-prem Unifi Video server, and only allow you to use it with a hardware appliance now.

They moved beyond "just build good product" and into unwanted cloud services and closed ecosystem.

If this is a re-opening of some of their self-hosting, then great. They're back to par, I guess?

I also have struggled with this, and spent many hours bashing my head against a specific setting in PFSense that requires a plugin to enable.

Then, I thought to try updating the firmware on my Unifi WiFi AP, and have had (almost) no problems ever since. It has taught me to think twice about spending $100+ on a piece of niche electronics that can only be controlled if it is compatible with your WiFi...
