UniFi Access + Birdie: 24/7 Golf Simulator Door Access
Birdie connects to Ubiquiti's UniFi Access controllers so simulator customers can enter during their booked window — a natural fit for venues already invested in the UniFi ecosystem.
How the UniFi Access integration works
Birdie integrates with your local UniFi Access controller, exposed via a Cloudflare Tunnel (recommended) or a port-forward. On each booking, Birdie grants time-limited access to the mapped door and sends the customer an unlock link that works only during their session. Cloudflare Access Service Auth is supported for locked-down tunnels.
Setup
- Expose your UniFi Access controller via a Cloudflare Tunnel (recommended) or port-forward 12445.
- Paste the controller URL and API token into Birdie’s door-access settings.
- Discover doors and map each bay to its UniFi Access door.
- Birdie grants time-limited access automatically on every booking.
Birdie configures the UniFi Access integration for you during onboarding — most venues are live within 24 hours.
