You can definitely run two Unifi controllers on the same network to maintain separate management for different Unifi devices. This setup is common when outsourcing network management, especially with cloud-based controllers handling access points. Since your team is adopting switches for a new project and doesn’t have easy access to the controller, placing a local controller on-site is a practical solution. It will help keep operations organized without causing confusion.

Use the UniFi gadget from the controller you wish it connects to, and if issues arise, connect via SSH and adopt it manually.
