Custom Development for UniFi
When our standard solutions don’t quite fit, we build custom tools and integrations for UniFi networks — from automation for teams running many sites, to bespoke captive portal flows, to integrations with the systems you already use.
What you can expect from a custom project with Art of WiFi:
• designed to meet your exact requirements
• tight and robust integration with your UniFi controller(s)
• runs on a (virtual) server under your own control
• the back-end can be adapted as your needs change
• efficient development by using existing building blocks
• short lead times
• predictable costs
Examples of custom work
A few of the custom solutions we’ve delivered for UniFi operators:
Bulk processing of devices — adopting, naming and assigning large numbers of new devices to the right sites from a simple spreadsheet, instead of one by one in the controller.
Bulk creation of VLANs — creating VLANs consistently across many sites and controllers from a spreadsheet.
Automated PDF reports — monthly network performance reports for a service provider’s customers, combining UniFi data with metrics from their Zendesk service desk and sent out automatically.
Most projects start from one of our existing products or from the same building blocks we use internally, which is what keeps lead times short and costs predictable.
Captive portal customisation
Our captive portal software can also be tailored well beyond its standard options. Customisations we have delivered include:
multi-device systems with online purchase and a self-service portal for guests to manage their own devices
additional payment integrations (Authorize.net, TrustCommerce and local payment providers, all tokenised)
additional social login and OAuth2-based authentication providers
RADIUS and SAML-based authentication, including combinations with vouchers
parameterised vouchers with dynamic pricing, and free-trial vouchers with lockout
Have a UniFi project you wish to discuss with us?
We found the Art of WiFi captive portal application through the UniFi community, and it has proven to be an excellent choice for our educational institution. Since 2020, it has provided a seamless and professional WiFi experience for both students and staff. The customization options like AzureAD login and fast, responsive support from Erik have made the platform a valuable asset. We highly recommend the Art of WiFi for anyone seeking to provide a great end user experience to their clients.
