Ubiquiti Restock Alerts: How to Never Miss a UI.com Drop

If you've ever tried to buy a popular Ubiquiti product — a UniFi Dream Machine Pro Max, a USW-Pro-Max-48-PoE, or a U7 Pro Max access point — you know the drill. You check ui.com, see "Sold Out," and by the time you check back the next day, it restocked and sold out again in under an hour.

The Ubiquiti store doesn't offer built-in restock notifications. There's no "notify me when available" button. You're on your own.

Why Ubiquiti Products Sell Out So Fast

Ubiquiti's direct-to-consumer model means products are only sold through store.ui.com. There are no authorized resellers, no Amazon listings, no alternative sources. When a popular product restocks, the entire global demand funnels through one store — and inventory disappears in minutes.

Products like the Dream Machine Pro Max and enterprise switches often restock in small batches with no announcement. If you're not watching the store at the exact right moment, you miss it.

How to Set Up Ubiquiti Restock Alerts

UIPing monitors ui.com product pages and sends you an instant notification the moment anything changes. Here's how to set it up:

Step 1: Create a Free Account

Sign up at uiping.com — the free plan includes one monitored page with checks every 30 minutes and email notifications. No credit card required.

Step 2: Add the Product URL

Copy the URL of the product page you want to monitor from ui.com. For example:

https://store.ui.com/us/en/collections/unifi-dream-machine
https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-switching
https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/udm-se

Paste it into your UIPing dashboard and click "Add Monitor."

Step 3: Choose Your Alert Speed

The free plan checks every 30 minutes. If you need faster detection, paid plans check as frequently as every 10 minutes (Starter), every 5 minutes (Pro), or every second (Enterprise).

Step 4: Set Up Push Notifications

Email notifications are included on all plans. For instant push alerts on your phone, paid plans support:

ntfy — free, open-source push notifications for iOS and Android. Install the ntfy app, subscribe to your topic, and get alerts in seconds.
Home Assistant — push directly to the HA Companion app
Discord & Slack — send alerts to a channel via webhooks
Custom webhooks — integrate with any service via HTTP

What Gets Detected

UIPing doesn't just check if a page is "up." It compares the actual content of the page between checks. This catches:

Stock changes — "Sold Out" flipping to "Add to Cart"
Price drops — any price change in either direction
New products — a new item appearing on a category page
Any text change — description updates, spec changes, anything

Paid plans also include visual screenshot diffs — side-by-side comparisons showing exactly what changed, so you can see at a glance whether it's worth acting on.

Tips for Catching Ubiquiti Restocks

Monitor category pages, not just product pages. Category pages like "All Switching" show multiple products at once. If a new product appears or stock status changes on any item, you'll catch it.
Use CSS selectors (paid plans) to narrow detection to the "Add to Cart" button area. This reduces false alerts from unrelated page changes.
Stack notification channels. Enable both email and ntfy push so you get alerted even if you miss one.
Act fast. Popular products can sell out in under 30 minutes. The faster your check interval, the more time you have to buy.

Get Started

Create a free UIPing account and start monitoring in under 60 seconds. You'll never have to manually refresh ui.com again.
