I recommend discussing them more in the driver (thread) itself, but here are a bunch of examples:
- Presence detection of networked devices. Ex: Smartphones (without MAC randomization) or known "troublemaking" devices
- General network status and Unifi Controller health
- Using the RGB LEDs on various AP models to signal status (they are generally located unobtrusively, but easy to spot)
- Controlling a Unifi Smart Plug (and soon, hopefully, Unifi Power Strip) with your HE instead of manually with the app or controller interface
- Blocking network devices with HE Rules. Ex: kids up too late? Warning by dimming their lights... Smartphone still active? Blocked until morning and turn the lights off...
Hopefully other people will find other uses. I am trying to make many of the features available that these devices have. The biggest limitation is my lack of equipment.
