UniFi USL Relay: Wiring the Unwireable into UniFi Protect (2026 Australian Guide)

A matchbox-sized SuperLink I/O module that brings gate contacts, sirens and third-party sensors into the UniFi console — no cable run required.

Every site has one: the gate contact, the old siren, the pump alarm — wired years ago, impossible to network today. The USL Relay is Ubiquiti's answer: a matchbox-sized SuperLink module with inputs and a relay output that lets third-party devices join UniFi Protect wirelessly. Available in Australia from ARC IP Networks, an authorised Ubiquiti reseller — see the product page for stock.

Power 12–48V DC, inputs and relay output — the whole story on one faceplate

What is the USL Relay?

A 50 mm polycarbonate cube that translates between two worlds. On the terminal side: signal inputs and a relay output for whatever third-party hardware you point at it. On the radio side: SuperLink — the same low-power protocol behind the USL Fob — carrying those signals to a hub like the UniFi Alarm Hub. It runs on 12, 24 or 48V DC at 3.4W, mounts with adhesive, screws or DIN rail, and has a test button so commissioning doesn't involve two people shouting across a site.

What it unlocks

Gates & garages

An existing gate contact reports into Protect; the relay can fire the opener.

Legacy sirens & strobes

Old signalling hardware keeps working, now triggered by UniFi events.

Plant & pump rooms

Dry-contact equipment alarms surface as Protect notifications.

Awkward retrofits

Anywhere a sensor exists but a network cable never will.

Frequently asked questions

The USL Relay is a compact SuperLink I/O module for the UniFi ecosystem: a 50 mm polycarbonate box with signal inputs and a relay output that lets third-party sensors and signalling devices — gate contacts, sirens, strobes, buzzers — join UniFi Protect wirelessly.

Its inputs accept third-party sensors and its relay output can switch signalling devices, so things like an existing gate contact, a legacy siren or an indicator light can trigger — or be triggered by — events in UniFi Protect.

Over SuperLink, Ubiquiti's proprietary low-power radio, to a SuperLink-capable hub such as the UniFi Alarm Hub — so devices in awkward spots join the system without running a network cable back.

From 12V, 24V or 48V DC at just 3.4W maximum, and it mounts with adhesive, screws or a DIN rail clip — small enough to live inside an existing enclosure next to whatever it is wiring in.
