Welcome back to the Crosstalk Solutions podcast. If you’re hosting your UniFi controller in the cloud and you’ve ever spent hours SSH-ing into each device to run set-inform commands one by one, today’s tip will save you tons of time.

Here’s the idea: put all your device IPs into a simple text file called list.txt, then run a single command that loops through that list, SSHs in, sets the inform URL, and reboots the device. As the video puts it, “This easy for-loop batch script automates adoption of all your remote UniFi devices in one go.”

Your batch command looks something like this:

for /f "delims=" %%f in (list.txt) do ^
ssh -i secretkey.pem -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ubnt@%%f ^
"mca-cli-op set-inform http://your-controller-address:8080/inform"

Once you hit enter, sit back and watch your devices report into your hosted controller automatically. For more great tips, subscribe to Crosstalk Solutions.
