There are two basic ways to manage different Unifi locations.

  1. As you have done install an Unifi Controller locally at each site and invite the same UI account to administer both. You just need to set each controller up using what you have done before.
  2. Or use one Unifi Controller at one of the sites, or even run in a hosted environment separate from any location. To do this you need, especially if you are deploying USGs to each location, create a new Site.
