When Surge is operating in DHCP mode, Dashboard device management can integrate with the UniFi Controller. You can directly view the corresponding device’s SSID, AP, Wi-Fi version, and other information in Surge’s Dashboard. You can also force a specific device to reconnect.
Meanwhile, this feature is provided entirely by a new, extensible plugin mechanism, allowing plugins to be written to support any AP Controller or router.
This feature is currently in beta, so no UI configuration interface is provided yet. It can only be configured through surge-cli or the AI Skill. After installing the Surge AI Skill, simply ask the AI to help integrate your UniFi AP Controller. Alternatively, ask the AI to write a new plugin based on your router.
Plugin System (Beta)
- Added the Surge Plugin System on macOS. Plugins run as isolated JavaScript extensions independent of the active profile.
- The first supported plugin type is
ap-controller, which can supply Wi-Fi information for the device panel and reconnect wireless clients. The existing UniFi Controller integration is now provided as a built-in plugin.As it is still in the beta phase, the mechanism for installing plugins remotely via
plugin install has not yet been enabled. Currently, only loading and running local content via plugin load is supported.
