Controllers

Controllers are the WiFi vendor integrations connected to your Wiacom account. Each controller represents a connection to a single WiFi vendor organisation.

Controller Status

StatusMeaning
ActiveController is connected and operational
SyncingTopology sync in progress
WarningOne or more configuration issues require attention
ErrorAPI connection failed — check credentials
DisabledController has been manually disabled

Adding a Controller

Go to Inventory → Controllers → click Add controller → select your WiFi vendor.

Removing a Controller

  1. Go to Inventory → Controllers
  2. Click the controller name → Settings → Remove controller
  3. Confirm removal
Removing a controller does not delete registered guests or their credentials from Wiacom, and does not push any changes to the physical WiFi controller.

API Credential Rotation

  1. Go to the controller settings → Edit credentials
  2. Paste the new API key
  3. Click Validate and save
No guest access is interrupted during credential rotation.

Sync Behaviour

Wiacom performs automatic background syncs every 6 hours. You can trigger a manual sync at any time via Sync from controller. A sync does:
  • Add newly created SSIDs
  • Update SSID metadata
  • Remove SSIDs deleted on the controller
  • Refresh the AP inventory
A sync does not:
  • Overwrite Wiacom role assignments (Portal / WiFi Pass / Key Access)
  • Overwrite location mappings
  • Push configuration changes to the controller
