unifly is a terminal-based management toolkit for Ubiquiti UniFi network controllers.
It is designed to let administrators manage and observe their networks without relying on the web interface, bringing day to day controller operations into a single terminal workflow. The project covers routine network administration tasks such as working with adopted devices, connected clients, VLANs and subnets, WiFi information, live events, and controller data across different UniFi environments.
This is free and open source software.
