Custom Firmware or 'Hack' Unifi Switch 8 POE? (lemmy.world)

I've installed OpenWRT on an Edge router (ERX) and its made me want to custom firmware every piece of networking equipment I own.

I've got an ER4, AP Pro and PlusNet (BT) router lined up but I wondered if it's possible to do anything with the Unifi switch I have? I know there's OpenWRT images for the ToughSwitch line by Ubiquiti but looking at the OpenWRT forums it looks like the Unifi switches are a dead-end.

I've got a craving to hack/customise it but can't find any options.

Yes! Ditto!

Picked up a couple of 24 250 watt poe switches and a udm pro, would love to get them off ubiquiti fw!

I would find the exact model for each piece you own and then search for the related openwrt wiki pages and forms
