Evening all, I've got a UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra that I'm upgrading to a Cloud Gateway Max so that I can expand the network with cameras utilising the NVR storage

Is there an easy way to upgrade?

Would I backup the ultra, connect the max to the network to adopt, restore the backup to the max, swap out the ultra for the max?

Just want to keep my config and device names, wifi etc.

Thanks
 
Thats great thanks, seems pretty straight forward then

^ Nice AI! :cry:

If you're logged in on it with a UniFi account:

  1. Take backup on old device.
  2. Plug in new device.
  3. Set up internet access.
  4. Sign in to UI account.
  5. Select restore from backup.
  6. Voila!
Click to expand...
Is it best to keep the old device connected whilst setting up the new device and then when its up and running, disconnect the old?
 
great, will give it a go today.

Different subject, I’ve got a UniFi lite switch in the loft to network the upstairs bedrooms and AP.

It’s showing temperature of 37.9 and heat index of 40.3 in the loft with a thermometer I have up there.
Is that ok for a switch or do I need to think of an alternative place to keep it?
 
Thanks for the reassurance

Added the new device, restored the back up and online again :) Appreciate the help!

I've now got the Unifi camera adopted and online as well. Seems to be recording events OK as I can see some playback events on my UI account

I have installed Homebridge, paired and got the Unifi plugin installed so i can get the camera visible in Apple Home. I can only seem to view live footage though and no playback events in there. Have I missed something?

Sorry I'm jumping topics from the original post

Ok so can tell I’m a newbie to the whole homebridge world and scrypted world

I’m installing on a PC but obviously when I shut my pc down, I lose the bridge

What’s the best way of setting it up to always be on?

I had google cameras with a Starling hub before but am looking to sell that at the moment now I’m moving away from Google
