The Ubiquiti UniFi Access Button (Part Number: UA-Button) is a sleek, touch-sensitive exit button designed to complement the UniFi Access control ecosystem. This smart button enables users to request egress from secured areas with a simple touch, combining convenience, modern aesthetics, and enterprise-grade reliability in one compact device.
Engineered for use in commercial buildings, offices, and secure facilities, the UA-Button is ideal for installations where traditional mechanical exit buttons may be unsuitable or visually intrusive. With its minimalist design and LED-illuminated surface, the button enhances the overall appearance of access control points while offering a responsive and intuitive user experience. The touch-based interface minimizes wear and eliminates moving parts, increasing durability and reducing maintenance needs over time.
The device integrates seamlessly with the UniFi Access ecosystem and is powered via PoE from the UniFi Access Hub. It communicates directly with the hub to trigger door releases or other exit functions based on user-defined rules and access configurations. This ensures consistent operation and secure egress functionality as part of a centralized access system.
Installation is simple and straightforward. The button can be surface-mounted on most wall types and includes adhesive options for glass or finished walls where drilling is not permitted. Its low-profile form factor ensures a clean installation, and the included accessories allow for compatibility with a wide range of architectural finishes and entryway designs.
The UA-Button features customizable LED lighting, which indicates status and responsiveness. This feedback system can be tailored within the UniFi Access Controller to suit different environments or policies—for example, changing colors to signal an active or inactive state, or to reinforce access granted or denied cues. The visual indicators help ensure a clear and consistent user experience, particularly in high-traffic or multi-user facilities.
From a security perspective, the button supports UniFi’s logging and alerting features. Every press of the UA-Button can be tracked and recorded through the UniFi Access Controller, giving administrators insight into exit activity and allowing for easier auditing and compliance monitoring.
In summary, the UA-Button is a modern, touch-sensitive exit request solution that aligns with the design and functionality of the broader UniFi Access platform. It improves user interaction, enhances reliability, and simplifies deployment in spaces where aesthetics and performance are equally important.
