This was partly why I recommended Amplifi to my parents. I like that Ubiquiti finally has a consumer brand this is mostly "off the shelf" configured.
I don't think Amplifi is getting enough love in the consumer market today. I know anecdotally when walking my parents through the Amplifi purchases I had to ask a Best Buy employee to leave and stop confusing my parents because he didn't understand why anyone would want the "weird new" Amplifi brand and not "the better brands" Google Home or Netgear Orbi. I didn't feel like explaining Ubiquiti's decades in Enterprise to the kid.
It doesn't help that Ubiquiti has had some recent troubles, and I'm still not sure even Ubiquiti knows what the long term horizon looks like for Amplifi products. But I appreciate that they are trying to make headway in the consumer space, and that from what I can tell the consumer products do show the experience from Enterprise products.

It would be nice to have a less complex app/frontend management interface for less tech-savvy end users -- if you could use the Amplifi app to see status and do basic troubleshooting on an Unifi network for instance--
