It is possible to add your HostiFi or any other cloud hosted UniFi Controller to appear in Ubiquiti's cloud portal, for easy remote access and visibility.

NOTE: Screenshots used in this guide are from UniFi 7.5.187

Enabling Remote Access

This can be achieved in two different ways, as the UniFi Controller has two different interfaces. We would want to enable cloud access to make managing multiple controllers and to make using the UniFi mobile app more streamlined.

New User Interface

On the new UniFi interface, log into your HostiFi or any other cloud hosted UniFi Controller.

Then, go to Settings

Next, go to System

Then, click on the 'Administration' tab

Click, 'Allow' next to 'Remote Access.' We would also recommend enabling Sync Local Admin with Ubiquiti SSO for added convenience.

Then, enter your UI credentials to add your HostiFi or any other cloud hosted UniFi Controller to the cloud portal.

Once remote access is enabled, you'll be able to access your HostiFi or any other cloud hosted UniFi Controller from unifi.ui.com. To do this, go to unifi.ui.com, then click on the 'Network Servers' button on the left hand side.

Legacy Interface

On the legacy UniFi Interface, log into your HostiFi or any other cloud hosted UniFi Controller.

Then, go to Settings

Next, click on 'Remote Access'

There are now options to 'Enable remote Access' and also sync your local credentials with the Ubiquiti SSO.

Turn on 'Enable Remote Access' and enter your UI credentials

Once activated, you should see the 'Remote Access Status' change to 'CONNECTED'

We would also recommend enabling Sync Local Admin with Ubiquiti SSO for added convenience.

Once remote access is enabled, you'll be able to access your HostiFi or any other cloud hosted UniFi Controller from unifi.ui.com. To do this, go to unifi.ui.com, then click on the 'Network Servers' button on the left hand side.

HostiFi
