Interested in whether the UniFi Cloud Key device completely duplicates the functionality of the software UniFi Controller (for controlling the Ubiquiti UniFi AP)?
In particular, will seamless roaming, statistics collection, etc. work?
Can I manage UniFi Security Gateway through Cloud Key?

I'm waiting for this from day to day, I can unsubscribe later how it is and what.

Answer 2

- Further, everything is as in the software controller.
- Interested in whether the UniFi Cloud Key device completely duplicates the functionality of the software UniFi Controller (for controlling the Ubiquiti UniFi AP)?
- Yes, it duplicates completely.
- In particular, will seamless roaming, statistics collection, etc. work?
- Everything is the same as in the software controller, as you set it up.
- Is it possible to manage UniFi Security Gateway through Cloud Key?
- Can.
- + / PLUS the fact that Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key is always online and can collect information from all points (even those that are off the network and outside the provider), this is a standalone device that is included in the router port, and does not buzz or collect dust like a PC... Each device, or group of devices, can be linked to your site, make individual settings...etc. There is also iOS & Android mobile software for the controller - which is very pleasing!
- As for me, the only negative was that you need to immediately take care of PoE power for the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key.

And what is the maximum load of such a controller? How many clients does it keep? How many dots?
