Hosted ubiquiti cloud controllers

Anyone used one of these that come 'free' with a device? Can you take them back to factory reset after the three years and use your own cloud controller?

You can host your own for free so never felt the need to use a 3rd party.

Yeah I was thinking the same, presume if you're not monitoring it doesn't need to be up 24/7 either?

No. But you can host it in oracle cloud for free.

If you’re talking about the offer from a place that begins with three Bs then I would bodyswerve it like the plague.

If it goes down you have no control over when it will come back up again.

They don’t run the latest version of the controller and you have no idea when they will upgrade to a newer version. And then beyond that you can’t export your configuration so they’re actively trying to put you off moving away. But it’s your call.
