terraform-provider-unifi VS aiounifi

I built my network using terraform, makes it pretty easy to duplicate. Not all settings are supported but networks, wlans, firewall rules, static IPs can be done with the terraform provider.

I recently used this terraform provider to automate Unifi setup at scale. It's a deep topic if you've never used terraform before, and this provider is community supported so there's some bumps, but overall it's been pretty great. There are also some hidden settings you can't adjust through the UI e.g. internetAccessEnabled and intranetAccessEnabled which change the predefined firewall rules

This might be useful for you in that case: https://github.com/paultyng/terraform-provider-unifi

There is an unofficial go sdk and Terraform Provider. Now with port profile support, but I have not tested it, yet.

I was just looking into this. Nothing from ansible or NAPALM, but a community provider for TF that would need some iteration to be full-featured. https://github.com/paultyng/terraform-provider-unifi

Ubiquiti Unifi has a bunch of unsupported 3rd party client libraries. I personally use Home Assistant with their Unifi Network integration that can create switches for each device on the network. You can then just toggle the switch on/off either manually or through automation. I believe this particular integration uses this library but like I said, there's a bunch of other ones depending on the language you want to use.

While there's no official API, your best bet is to use an unofficial client for the controller if you want to change things programatically. While you could do it over SSH, any changes you make will be overwritten when the controller reprovisions the switches. This client interacts with the same APIs the web frontend uses, and it's used in a lot of home automation systems (Home Assistant uses it). I've found it to be reliable!

There is, but as I understand it, it’s not publicly documented. Google around and you can find lots of get her projects that are utilizing it by (for example, here is the library used power of the UniFi integration for Home Assistant: https://github.com/Kane610/aiounifi).
