🚀 SuperLink by Ubiquiti: A Tiny Box with Big Potential

When it comes to smart security, simplicity often wins—and Ubiquiti’s SuperLink proves that point beautifully. This compact device, essentially a small box with an antenna, quietly solves a major problem: enabling long-distance connectivity for battery-powered sensors, especially in environments where Bluetooth falls short.

🛠️  Setup & Performance

I had the chance to test out a SuperLink early on. The initial setup had a bit of a hiccup in that all my originally adopted sensors would not migrate to the Superlink. After I reset and readopted them though, they popped right up. I decided to place some sensors outside while keeping the Superlink in my home. One sensor went on our pirate ship playhouse, another in our side yard, and the last one all the way out by the entrance to our driveway, over 150 feet away. Despite the freezing conditions, the sensors stayed reliably connected. 

💡 What Works Well

• Seamless sensor connectivity, even in harsh weather
• Solves the problem of having sensors with no Bluetooth on U7 devices
• Makes UP-Sense relevant again, especially with multiple SuperLinks
• Flexibility to assign future sensors

🚨 Big things are brewing at Ubiquiti this August—they’re teasing a wave of new sensors, and now’s the perfect time to grab a Superlink and get ahead of the curve. I believe the Superlink could mark a turning point, where everyday users start ditching costly ADT monitoring in favor of Unifi Protect’s push notifications to secure homes, rentals, and small businesses.

 With extended-range sensors coming in August, we might even see Unifi gear expanding into agriculture and other underserved sectors that traditional security companies tend to overlook.

Bottom line? The Superlink has me genuinely excited about what’s next for Unifi Protect.
