Omada cloud-based controller subscription?
Hi All,
In the user manual of EAP225 mentioned that user can log in to omada.tplinkcloud.com, add the cloud service, pay for the subscription and then add device using device's series number.... I cannot find it in my omada account and cant find any information related to hosted cloud based controller. Just the oc200 and the Software controller. Did I miss anything here? Thanks!

@Alannz, as far as I know TP-Link plans to release the SDN controller running in the cloud soon. Currently it's not (yet) available.
My company offers a controller running in the cloud¹ since Omada controller version 2.7.0, but only for our customers who bought one of our WLAN hotspots, not as a common service.
¹ Note that I don't refer of the TP-Link cloud solution where the cloud instance is just a proxy server tunneling data to an OC200 or a software controller running elsewhere. This cloud product is available already since a long time now. I refer to a »real« cloud-based software controller, i.e. which completely runs in the cloud.

Update: I found a website describing the new Omada SDN controller and the centralized cloud service:
https://www.tp-link.com/th/business-networking/ceiling-mount-ap/omada-cloud-based-controller/
However, there is still an empty support/download page for SDN controller.

@R1D2 Thanks!
I have checked other languages that I know and yes, it is blank :) but looks like they are ready for that.
At the moment, I have another quesion with the EAP225: Do we have to have any sort of controllers to make the Captive portal Voucher funcion work? Or the EAP225 itself can handle the voucher access management?
Thanks!!!

Yes, a controller is needed if you want to use a voucher portal.

Seems like it is working now from your local Omada Controller you need to enable Cloud Access then, you can log in from anywhere with your TP-Link ID and open up Omada Controller from the cloud... guess it relies on your local Omada Controller running 24/7 for it to work properly.
Nothing about subscription - so free.

This is the standard cloud access to an existing software or hardware (OC200/OC300) controller running on your ite locally.
TP-Link plans to offer an Omada Controller running natively in the cloud, that is a pure software controller running itself in the cloud, not only a cloud tunnel to a local controller. There will be advanced services such as Zero Touch Provisioning which require to pay a subscription fee.

Hiya,
Any news on the cloud based controller - seems a waste for my mini pc to sit there running Spotify and the Omada Controller (just for voucher management) when I could really do all that off our old cell phone?
