ez-unifi

Agent-friendly UniFi Network tools powered by the aiounifi library. Supports UDM Pro/SE, Dream Machine, Cloud Key Gen2+, and self-hosted controllers.

Run all commands with: uv run scripts/unifi.py <command> [args]

Setup

Step 1: Ask user to create a dedicated local admin account

To manage your UniFi network, I need API access. Please create a dedicated local admin account: 1. Open your UniFi controller (e.g., https://192.168.1.1) 2. Go to Settings → System → Admins & Users 3. Click Add Admin 4. Enter a username (e.g., agent-api) 5. Enter an email and password 6. Important: Disable "Remote Access" - local-only avoids MFA issues 7. Set Role to Super Admin or Site Admin 8. Click Add Then provide: - Controller IP (e.g., 192.168.1.1) - Username - Password - Is it a UDM Pro/SE/Dream Machine? (yes/no)

Step 2: Save credentials to .env

UNIFI_HOST=https://192.168.1.1
UNIFI_USERNAME=agent-api
UNIFI_PASSWORD=the_password
UNIFI_SITE=default
UNIFI_IS_UDM=true

Set UNIFI_IS_UDM=false for Cloud Key Gen1 or self-hosted controllers.

Finding IDs

• WLAN IDs: Run wlans and look for the ID column
• Device MACs: Run devices and look for the MAC column
• Client MACs: Run clients or clients-all and look for the MAC column
• Traffic Rule IDs: Run traffic-rules and look for the ID column
• Voucher IDs: Run vouchers and look for the ID column

Notes

• MAC addresses can be any format (with colons, dashes, or none)
• All output is JSON for easy parsing
• Using a dedicated local account avoids MFA issues with cloud-linked accounts
• If you get rate limited (429 error), wait a few minutes before retrying
