Two days ago, I received my new Ubiquiti UISP Console, an eight-port switch/router with 10Gbit SFP+ slots managed by the Ubiquiti UISP software running on my VPS in Docker. In this blog post, I will show you a few examples of how to query it using PowerShell.

Use PowerShell to change the color of your Govee lamp
I recently bought a Govee lamp for my desk, which I can control using my Google Home Assistant. But... It also has API support. 🙂 In this blog post, I will show you how to control it using PowerShell in a Function to turn it Red, Orange, or Green so you can use it for a visual outcome of your PowerShell script.
Using PowerShell on your Stream Deck
An excellent way to run your scripts is by using a Stream Deck 🙂 I purchased one last month (Elgato Stream Deck Mk 2 Studio Controller with 15 buttons), mainly because of the Microsoft Teams support, but you can use it for PowerShell too! In this blog post, I will show you a few examples.
Toot on Mastodon using API and PowerShell
I wrote blog posts about how to use an API for Slack and Twitter messages, but... Mastodon is also there now, and I thought... Ok, can I Toot in Mastodon using PowerShell? This blog post will show you how 😉
Retrieve Coinmarketcap information using PowerShell
If you're into Crypto and would like to see the latest price of your precious coin, then perhaps this is a blog post for you 😉 In this blog post, I will show you how you can use the API from Coinmarketcap to show you the latest stats in every newly started PowerShell session.
Create a Tweet on Twitter using PowerShell
In an earlier post about Slack, I showed you how to create a message there, but I also use Twitter a lot (I even met my girlfriend because of that!). In this blog post, I will show you how to create a Tweet using PowerShell 🙂
Get WHOIS information using PowerShell
For the last few days, I have been working on an issue involving getting an overview of the networks and public IP addresses. Because I was unsure if the public IP addresses in some logs were from that company, I had to look up a lot of IPs manually using Ripe/Whois sites. This blog post shows you how to get details for your Public IP or the address or domain name you specify.
Create Slack messages using PowerShell
If you're a Slack user like myself, you can use PowerShell to send messages to your Slack channel. This is very useful for scripts that run during the day on which you want to receive information. This is done using the Invoke-Webrequest method, and in this blog post, I will show you how you can use it in your scripts.
