If you are curious whether Ubiquiti ditched the fan on the new U7 Pro Max, well, I have some bad news for you. I opened the device and this is the teardown video.

You can configure them independently of a controller by ssh but the config will be lost on a reboot or when the device next polls the controller
Edit: and apparently someone else has said you can use the app to configure them without a controller at all
Requiring a phone app, java app or Cloud Key to configure an AP isn’t home lab ethos. That it looses config on reboot if you configure it by ssh is weird given you don’t need a controller running once they are setup. They can be rebooted without a controller and still work fine.
Where did you find the command line documentation? I was never able to find anything.
It’s not really documented anywhere officially. I’ve found the knowledge over the years from searching the ubnt forums. But I stopped using unifi equipment a few years ago for similar reasons.
This forum thread is probably the best starting point I can give you but configuring unifi APs via ssh for any reason other than maybe a botched IP configuration is a bad idea
Good luck if you don’t have a dream machine and you aren’t using 192.168.0.0/16. If the APs don’t find a dream machine they won’t get an IP from DHCP for some godforsaken reason and revert to 192.168.1.20 and won’t do anything until you configure them with ssh. Except you have to ssh on a lan that doesn’t exist which is a huge pita. This is why I have omada APs now.
