All UBNT at home?  Ouch.

They're on my banned list after one of their POE devices caught on fire
after being in service for 11 months.
Then they went round and round for a week saying they weren't going to pay
for a shipping label.  I wasn't going to pay for one because I didn't want
their gear back.

Finally someone with a bit of common sense sent a shipping label so they
could figure out why it caught on fire.
They ended up sending a replacement back that was obviously used.  Instead
of letting it go to waste, I installed it.
It died two weeks later.  When I contacted them, they said the original
purchase was over a year ago so they wouldn't RMA it.

Then a second device (plugged into an entirely different switch in a
different building) started smoking and emitting an electrical smell.  I
pulled all of them and tossed them in the dumpster.

They are an absolutely atrocious company to deal with.  I'm betting some
day real soon they'll be sued into oblivion when their crap burns down
someone's home or office building.

Friends don't let friends buy UniFi.
