What You’ll Learn

How and why you might need to adopt a UniFi device using SSH
SSH credentials (defaults & fallback options)
Viewing and changing the “inform” URL via SSH
How the adoption process works after sending the inform string
Tips if adoption fails (typos, inform URL errors, controller reachability)

Pro Tips & Notes

Use HTTP, not HTTPS, when issuing the `set-inform` command
Make sure you include `:8080/inform` (e.g. `http://your-controller:8080/inform`)
If your device updates and loses connection, this method helps re-adopt
In remote setups, port forwarding or firewall rules may need to allow traffic to your controller’s inform endpoint
If the device is reachable locally, adoption may already be possible — but SSH method is useful when that’s not the case
