the controller is running on a totally random IP
The Pi is running on a random IP, meaning that it receives it's IP via DHCP.
You should login to the Pi and configure a static IP for it. Then once it's stable, login to whatever your Ubiquiti DHCP server is and configure a static IP map for the Pi that matches what you've just done.
After that... you're good to go.

Problem #199 with my wifi
I have a unifi controller (running on a pi) that had been working fine until mid-morning, when I had to shut down all of the power sockets downstairs.
When I brought the power backup, the controller is running on a totally random IP, on a completely different address block 169.244.0.0/16
My router is set up with:
eth0 - WAN - cable modem
eth1 - LAN1 - 192.168.1.1/24
eth2 - LAN2 - 192.168.2.1/24
I did have to have the controller on LAN1 to adopt the APs, and change the inform address manually, but the worked fine when I moved it back onto LAN2
Even if I switch the pi back onto LAN1, it is taking an IP on 169.244.0.0/16
I have the Pi's MAC set up in the router to have a static IP on LAN1 / 2
Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
