I don’t have an answer for your question, but have totally hated UI’s direction for my use case and business. Do I still buy their APs and switches? Yes…do I wish there was a better alternative, ABSOLUTELY.

I’ve tried Omada and the interface seems clunky. I wish there was a self-hosted, open source alternative to the Unifi Controller that would allow us to remotely manage self-built or openly programmable hardware.

I’m curious to see what others use, but I’ve been using Uptime Kuma for this purpose at several different sites I manage. I run Uptime Kuma on a VPS and locally on site. I have the local instance monitoring the router, gateway, DNS, and several other internal and external devices. I also have the local instance do a “push” check-in on my VPS instance. This gives me a pretty holistic view of things.

This comment makes me excited to meet more people in the fediverse… So much about what you said makes me happy to read!

Probably closer to $0.25 check so lawyers can get their well deserved cut.
