Alta labs is very new, hence many of us already invested in other vendors. It is really a bold move to have some Alta Labs products in the mix. I hope that the controller can allow us to specify which type of non Alta labs devices is AP/switch, how it connected like from which switch. In turns we could construct the map manually/wire/wifi. Having so, Alta control can also detect which switch/AP for connections or even provide some states. Home assistant have integration to unifi and mikrotik to list down all the devices online/offline. So, it should not be any trouble for Alta Labs to be able to do so.
I beg company like Ubiquity won’t want to do this to lock users leaving their eco system by preventing mixing up other vendor devices. However, for Alta labs, it is the interest of Alta labs to present user an another option, a pathway to slowly get users to move forward to Alta labs devices as time goes by. Playing friendly to other platform like Unifi and MikroTik would be extremely beneficial to both users and Alta labs.
