Ubiquiti router recommendation

I recommend discussing them more in the driver (thread) itself, but here are a bunch of examples:

  1. Presence detection of networked devices. Ex: Smartphones (without MAC randomization) or known "troublemaking" devices
  2. General network status and Unifi Controller health
  3. Using the RGB LEDs on various AP models to signal status (they are generally located unobtrusively, but easy to spot)
  4. Controlling a Unifi Smart Plug (and soon, hopefully, Unifi Power Strip) with your HE instead of manually with the app or controller interface
  5. 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.
