Auto Adopt Ubiquity Unifi tool

If you manage Ubiquiti UniFi networks at any kind of scale, you’ve probably felt the pain of device adoption.

Manually SSH’ing into each access point, switch, or gateway just to run set-inform over and over again quickly gets tedious. It’s time‑consuming, error‑prone, and honestly one of the least enjoyable parts of standing up or migrating a UniFi environment.

The Problem with Manual Adoption

When adopting UniFi devices—especially in bulk—you typically have to:

• Discover each device on the network

• SSH into it individually

• Run the set-inform command (sometimes more than once)

• Verify the device appears in the controller

That workflow might be manageable for one or two devices, but it doesn’t scale well. For MSPs, IT teams, labs, or anyone frequently deploying UniFi hardware, this process becomes a bottleneck.

A Simpler Approach

To solve this problem, we built an open‑source Windows tool that automates the UniFi adoption process.

The goal was simple:

• Eliminate repetitive manual SSH sessions

• Automate set-inform across multiple devices

• Make the process fast, repeatable, and reliable

• Keep it open source and easy to extend

The result is a lightweight Windows utility written in Rust that takes care of the heavy lifting for you.

What the Tool Does

This tool:

• Automatically connects to UniFi devices

• Runs the required set-inform commands

• Speeds up bulk adoption dramatically

• Reduces human error during deployments

Whether you’re migrating controllers, staging new hardware, or rebuilding a lab, it turns a frustrating task into a few clicks.

Open Source and Community Driven

We believe tools like this should be transparent and community‑driven. That’s why the project is fully open source and available on GitHub.

You can review the code, submit improvements, or adapt it to your own workflow:

Who Is This For?

• Network administrators managing UniFi deployments

• MSPs onboarding or migrating client networks

• Home lab enthusiasts who value automation

• Anyone tired of running set-inform manually

Final Thoughts

UniFi hardware is powerful and flexible—but the adoption process doesn’t have to be painful. By automating one of the most repetitive steps, this tool helps you spend less time on setup and more time actually managing your network.

If you’ve ever sighed before typing set-inform for the tenth time in a row, this project is for you.
