Stream Deck X UniFi: Network Monitoring on Steroids

Another day, another super cool use case of my Stream Deck. Last week, some guy on Reddit released an unofficial Stream Deck X UniFi plugin that I used to turn my Stream Deck into a network monitoring console 😍

→ Stats of the main gateway
→ Connection health, uptime etc. of your USP
→ Stats and usage of specific devices (I added my iPhone and my Mac so I directly see if something's wrong)
→ Stats of my Synology NAS
→ Clients segmented by VLAN type of connection
→ Number of clients per Access Point

Upgrading my whole home WiFi to a UniFi setup from Ubiquiti Inc. last month was - again - a new rabbit hole to explore, and easier access to monitoring is super cool. Overkill for a home network? Probably. But with several hours of meetings a day and 2 teenagers whose basic needs are directly linked to the quality of the WiFi in the house, it's worth every € and every minute spent optimizing it. 🥸

You'll find the plugin in Elgato Marketplace for a few euros and if you're into those 2 ecosystems, you'll love it 😄

Happy Geekin' Friday! 👋
