When & Why to Use This Skill

This Claude skill streamlines UniFi Protect infrastructure management by automating device adoption, inventory tracking, and real-time configuration monitoring. It empowers IT administrators to maintain a healthy security ecosystem through intelligent status checks, hardware lifecycle planning, and comprehensive reporting on cameras and sensors.

Use Cases

  • Automated Inventory Auditing: Generate detailed reports of all cameras, sensors, and smart lights, including MAC addresses and firmware versions, to ensure hardware compliance.
  • Proactive System Health Monitoring: Check system uptime, versions, and health metrics to identify maintenance windows and prevent security downtime.
  • Streamlined Device Onboarding: Identify pending devices awaiting adoption and manage the onboarding process for new hardware across the network.
  • Strategic Infrastructure Planning: Analyze device specifications and performance data to plan hardware refreshes, upgrades, and replacements based on age and system requirements.

Device Management Skill

Manage device adoption, maintain inventory, and monitor device configurations.

What this skill does

This skill enables you to:

  • Manage device adoption and onboarding process
  • Maintain comprehensive device inventory (cameras, sensors, lights)
  • Monitor device configurations and status
  • Track pending devices awaiting adoption
  • Plan device upgrades and replacements
  • Monitor Protect system status and versions

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Adopt new devices into the Protect system
  • Create and maintain device inventory
  • Check device adoption status
  • Monitor system versions and updates
  • Plan hardware refreshes
  • Track device models and specifications
  • Verify device configuration compliance

Available Tools

  • get_protect_devices - List cameras and monitoring devices
  • get_protect_sensors - List sensors
  • get_protect_info - Get system info and status

Typical Workflows

New Device Adoption

  1. Use get_protect_devices to find new devices
  2. Review device details (MAC address, IP, model)
  3. Plan adoption and placement
  4. Document adoption process completion

Device Inventory Management

  1. Use get_protect_devices to get camera inventory
  2. Use get_protect_sensors for sensor inventory
  3. Organize devices by type and location
  4. Create inventory reports
  5. Plan upgrade cycles based on age and performance

System Monitoring

  1. Use get_protect_info to check system status
  2. Monitor system version and uptime
  3. Track system health metrics
  4. Plan maintenance windows
  5. Verify backup status

Example Questions

  • "List all cameras in the system"
  • "Show all sensors and their status"
  • "What's the system version and status?"
  • "Get specifications for all devices"
  • "Create a device inventory report"
  • "Plan a device upgrade strategy"

Response Format

When using this skill, I provide:

  • Device listings with MAC addresses and IP information
  • Device specifications (model, firmware version)
  • System status and version information
  • Inventory organization by type/location
  • Upgrade recommendations based on age/performance
  • Hardware planning suggestions

Best Practices

  • Adopt devices in logical groups by location
  • Maintain up-to-date device inventory
  • Document device purpose and location
