Also in answer to sibling comments - you don't need to connect the UI software to the cloud. I have an Edgerouter SFP-X and a few AP lites. I recently added an 8 port Unifi switch for more PoE ports.

Following is to the best of my knowledge! Any ex-Unifi folks or other pros are welcome to correct me:

- The Edgerouter absolutely does not talk to ui.com (except check-for-updates). There's no remote control ability etc etc.

- The Unifi range can be controlled from the cloud, but via your Unifi Cloud Key. You can run this software yourself, without buying extra hardware. When it is not running there is no comms to the cloud. Run the software, configure things, stop the software - I run it in docker on an rpi4.
