UniFi USL Fob: The Ten-Year Key Fob for UniFi Protect (2026 Australian Guide)

Arm, disarm, night mode and panic on a keyring — SuperLink radio, a decade on one coin cell, and the Alarm Hub's perfect companion.

Every alarm system lives or dies at the front door. If arming means opening an app, half the household never arms it. The USL Fob puts UniFi Protect's four most important actions — arm, disarm, night mode, panic — on a keyring, running up to ten years on one coin cell. Available in Australia from ARC IP Networks, an authorised Ubiquiti reseller — see the product page for stock.

Ubiquiti UniFi USL Fob SuperLink key fob with four buttons

What is the USL Fob?

A 32-gram polycarbonate fob with four clicky buttons and two tricks. The first is SuperLink — Ubiquiti's purpose-built low-power radio — instead of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which is how a CR2450 coin cell stretches to a decade of use. The second is programmability: the primary faceplate ships mapped to Alarm Hub actions (arm, disarm, night mode, panic), and a secondary numeric faceplate turns the same four buttons into general-purpose triggers for your UniFi automations.

Why a fob still beats an app

Apps ask for attention: unlock the phone, find the icon, wait for the connection. A fob asks for a thumb. For staff locking up a shop, kids coming home from school, or anyone who just wants the alarm on, one physical click wins every time — and the panic button is exactly where you want it in the one moment you need it. Paired with the Alarm Hub Kit, it completes the takeover story: modern panel, familiar keyring.

Frequently asked questions

What is the UniFi USL Fob?

The USL Fob is a SuperLink key fob for the UniFi ecosystem: four programmable buttons — arm, disarm, night mode and panic on the primary faceplate — that trigger instant actions across UniFi Protect, with up to 10 years of life from a single CR2450 battery.

What do the buttons on the UniFi key fob do?

Out of the box the primary faceplate maps to alarm actions: arm, disarm, night mode and panic. A secondary numeric faceplate supports programmable actions, so buttons can be assigned to the automations your site needs.

How does the USL Fob connect — does it need Wi-Fi?

No Wi-Fi and no pairing apps on the fob itself: it uses SuperLink, Ubiquiti's purpose-built low-power radio, to reach SuperLink-capable UniFi devices such as the Alarm Hub — which is why the battery lasts up to a decade.

Does the USL Fob work with the UniFi Alarm Hub?

Yes — that is its natural home. The Alarm Hub Kit provides the SuperLink radio, and the fob gives staff and family a keyring way to arm and disarm the alarm without opening an app.

Where can I buy the UniFi USL Fob in Australia?

From ARC IP Networks (arcip.com.au), an authorised Ubiquiti reseller in Australia — genuine Australian stock with the full manufacturer warranty, claimable locally.
