I have found this

ERROR discover - unable to bind udp:10001 socket and L2 discovery will not work

That's why it cannot find the devices.

ERROR discover - unable to bind udp:10001 socket and L2 discovery will not work

@dariodig
I believe I found the issue, there was another legacy daemon left behind, infctld that had something to do with discovery.
I updated the instructions to stop & disable that. Also, testing w/ 6.0.x unifi network controller.

also might have found a newer method, and it pulls 6.2.x direct from ubnt repo

Now it works! Thank you!
