UniFi Super Link Review: Expanding the Smart Sensor Ecosystem
Our latest YouTube video dives into the brand-new UniFi Super Link, a device that expands UniFi’s smart sensor ecosystem. If you've been using UniFi smart sensors at home, you may have noticed that some of the new Gen 7 UniFi Access Points (APs) no longer support them. So, what’s UniFi’s long-term plan for these IoT devices? Super Link is the answer.
What is the UniFi Super Link?
Super Link is a proprietary, long-range, low-latency wireless gateway for UniFi Protect sensors. It acts as a bridge for older BLE smart sensors while also paving the way for new Super Link sensors launching later this year.
Key features include:
✅ Supports up to 96 Super Link clients (not released yet)
✅ 2km range (line of sight)
✅ Continued support for BLE smart sensors
✅ Powered by PoE or USB-C
✅ Wall & DIN rail mount options
Installation & Setup
In the video, we walk through the quick and easy setup of the Super Link, including:
🔹 Adopting it into UniFi Protect
🔹 Pairing existing BLE smart sensors
🔹 Testing range & performance
We tested the Super Link in a real-world office environment, and the results exceeded expectations. Even at a considerable distance, the BLE connectivity remained strong, suggesting UniFi is being conservative in its range estimates.
The Future of Super Link
One of the biggest takeaways is that UniFi is not abandoning IoT sensors—they’re expanding the lineup. Their teaser video hints at new environmental sensors, alarm sensors, door/motion sensors, air quality sensors, and more.
Who is Super Link For?
Businesses & Offices – Great for physical security & automation
Homeowners – Ideal for smart home integrations
Industrial Environments – Long-range IoT connectivity
Final Thoughts
The Super Link Gateway is available now, and new sensors are expected later this year. If you're using UniFi Protect, this device is a must-have for ensuring seamless sensor connectivity.
