setDeviceSettingsBase restarts UniFi Flex

[breaknanger]

I have a launchd script that runs every two hours to turn POE on and off. This script runs on my UniFi USW-Pro-24-PoE without it power cycling the entire switch; however, running the same script on the USW-Flex causes it to restart the entire switch. Is this unavoidable, or is there a different command I could use when interacting with the USW-Flex via API? I am using the script provided in this library.

Just have a look in your UniFi Network environment app or the smartphone app. If there the same happens when you switch on/off a certain PoE port then there is nothing node-unifi can do differently. Or if you cannot switch on/off individual PoE settings in these official unifi apps, then switching individual PoE ports on/off of the USW-Flex is simply not supported.

I’ll test this tomorrow and let you know the results.
