mFi® is a Machine-to-Machine management system
from Ubiquiti Networks®. mFi hardware is managed and
monitored from the mFi Controller software. The mFi
Controller allows you to create rules that trigger actions
based on data from your mFi sensors. For example, motion
detection can turn a light on, or a high temperature reading
can trigger a fan. The mFi platform is compatible with
third-party devices, making the options unlimited!
Features
Plug and Play Installation Use standard Ethernet cable
to connect machines and sensors. Use Wi-Fi to seamlessly
connect mFi nodes to your IP network. Unlimited device
scalability allows you to add mFi devices as needed.
Powerful Functionality Create powerful relationships
between sensors, machines, and powered devices.
Mobile Support The mFi iOS application is available for
iPhone and iPad. Other mobile devices can connect to a
customized mobile version of the mFi Controller interface
using a web browser.
Sophisticated User Experience From auto-detection of
machines through intuitive and powerful rule creation,
the mFi Controller transforms a machine network into an
automated symphony.
Hardware
In-Wall Devices There are two in-wall devices available for
mFi management. The mFi Outlet is a standard in-wall dual
electrical outlet with Wi-Fi that features energy monitoring
and can be independently controlled by an mFi Controller.
The mFi Switch is an in-wall manageable switch/dimmer.
In switch mode, it can be used to turn lights on and off.
In dimmer mode, it can control incandescent, halogen,
dimmable CFL, or dimmable LED lamps. Energy monitoring
and controls are available in the mFi Controller.
mPower The mPower™ products are mFi-controllable
power outlets with Wi-Fi capability. There are three mPower
models available. The mPower mini is a single-port outlet,
the mPower is our standard 3-port power strip, and the
mPower PRO is an 8-port power strip that also includes an
Ethernet port. All feature independent, switchable AC ports
and energy monitoring.
mPorts and Sensors There are two mPort™ models
available for connecting devices to the mFi network. The
mPort has two mFi RJ45 connectors and a terminal block
connector. The mPort Serial features RS232/422/485
serial connectivity through a standard DB9 serial port or
a terminal block connector. Both have built-in Wi-Fi and
Ethernet to connect to the IP network. Ubiquiti offers a
variety of motion, temperature, current, and door sensors to
connect to the mPort and your mFi network. These sensors
connect to the mPort using a standard RJ45 cable, except
for the mFi-DS, which connects using a terminal block
connector.

Software
The mFi Controller software is designed to work
with the Ubiquiti Networks mFi product line
and third-party devices. The software interface
design is based on the popular and easy-to-use
UniFi® software interface. The mFi Controller
software allows you to manage your mPort,
mPower, sensor, in-wall, and third-party devices
from your web browser.
Features
Machine Auto Detection The mFi Controller
software will auto-detect and provision mFi
devices and connected machines on the
machine network.
Advanced Analytics Powerful graphing with
user-dened views provides in-depth analysis of
the machine network.
Events and Alerts User-dened event
recording and alerts provide feedback on
machine network activity.
Remote Control Capability Remotely control
the power and functionality of the machine
network.
Remote Terminal Support Terminal command
windows support unlimited machine network
scalability through a single interface.
