The UniFi hardware is always tempting but the ecosystem is such a turn-off. I've never felt like my home network required vendor lock-in, cloud management and proprietary management software/firmware.
I was so displeased with having to run a proprietary server on my internal infrastructure (which depended on MongoDB of all things, which no distro seems to ship anymore) just to manage my UniFi AP-Lite that I flashed it with OpenWRT and never looked back.
I'll stick to my PCEngines box running OpenBSD + mikrotik managed switches + OpenWRT, thanks.
This setup is hardly much more complicated than the inherent complexity of any non-trivial home network and can be managed with SSH and a web browser.
