# UniFi Client Rehome Results
Historical execution note: this file records what was applied on 2026-05-22, not the final lasting truth for every device. For the current known-good Protect doorbell/chime state, see `unifi-protect-doorbell-chime-current-state-2026-05-26.md`.
Executed from PD against the live UniFi controller using per-client virtual network overrides plus targeted `kick-sta` reconnects.

## Validation result
All 8 targeted clients were re-read live from `stat/sta` and matched their intended target lanes.
## Validation result at the time
All 8 targeted clients were re-read live from `stat/sta` and matched their intended target lanes during the 2026-05-22 apply window.
Important caveat:
- lane placement success in UniFi Network did not prove Protect health for the chimes
- a later follow-up showed the two chimes could appear associated in UniFi Network while still showing offline in Protect
## Follow-up result that supersedes the chime portion
Later known-good state:
- Protect WiFi Chime `upstairs landing` was returned to `Management` / default `UniFi Wireless` -> `10.5.0.123`
- Protect WiFi Chime `Living Room` was returned to `Management` / default `UniFi Wireless` -> `10.5.0.189`
- the Camera-lane virtual-network override for the chimes should now be treated as a failed experiment in this environment, not as the standing recommendation
## Notes
- Rehome mechanism used: `PUT /rest/user/<id>` with `network_id`, `virtual_network_override_enabled=true`, and `virtual_network_override_id=<target_network_id>`
- Reconnect mechanism used: `POST /cmd/stamgr` with `cmd=kick-sta`
- `LG_Smart_Laundry2_open` had a temporary probe note during discovery; it was cleared during the live apply
- Some clients still show their original SSID names in UniFi telemetry even after landing on the target virtual network override; the authoritative validation point for this pass was the live `network` / `network_id` state
- The Protect lesson learned here is specific and important: a client can look correctly placed in UniFi Network while still being unhealthy in Protect.
