Getting Started with StarController for Starlink Fleets

Summary StarController is the cloud operations layer for businesses that run on Starlink. It sits on top of your existing Starlink accounts — Residential or Business — and gives you one cross-account view of every site: status, data usage, billing, accounts, and time-limited field access. It complements Starlink; it never replaces it. StarController starts at US$ 3.00/month, billed as part of your MKController subscription by total device count.

StarController is a UNIController product, built by the team behind MKController — the same single-pane discipline proven on thousands of MikroTik and UniFi devices, now extended to Starlink. Starlink connects your sites. StarController helps you operate them across many accounts, sites, and vendors.

Past the first antenna, running Starlink quietly turns into work: terminals report healthy while a site is down, accounts are scattered across logins, contractors keep standing access nobody tracks, and invoices surface after the spend.

StarController pulls all of that into one screen:

• See every site — every terminal mapped and listed with its current status (online, offline, or needs attention), so an outage is yours to catch, not the customer’s to report.
• Keep billing under control — overdue, open, and on-time invoice status across the whole fleet.
• Govern field access — hand a technician an ephemeral, time-limited Starlink session instead of your standing password.
• See the site, not just the antenna — pair satellite status with the MikroTik / UniFi context you already manage in MKController.

It never owns your connectivity, never changes your Starlink plan, and never bypasses Starlink billing. You stay the account owner the whole time.

• WISPs & rural ISPs — site-level visibility, usage, and billing across every subscriber terminal.
• Agriculture & construction — remote, unmanned sites visible from the office, with time-limited field sessions for crews.
• Retail & branch backup-WAN — know which location’s link is down before the store calls.
• Internal IT (5–500 terminals) — one view of every site, who can touch it, and what each account costs.

Everything lives under StarController in the left menu, in three sections — Dashboard, Finance and Accounts — plus a page for each dish:

Where	What it’s for
Dashboard	Fleet overview — devices, monthly cost, data usage, alerts, and finance at a glance, as a list or on a map.
Accounts	Your synced Starlink accounts, accounts still available to sync, and the Starlink users on them.
Finance	Invoices across every account — overdue, open, and on-time — with pay and download actions.
Device detail	One dish’s full picture: health and telemetry, subscription and service, data usage, connectivity, users, Custom DNS, attributes and observations.

Open app.mkcontroller.com and sign in, or create a free account. StarController lives in the same workspace you use for MikroTik and UniFi.

Click StarController in the left menu. Every MKController account has it — no request or activation form.

Until you sync a real Starlink account, StarController opens in the Sandbox: sample antennas, accounts and invoices, clearly labelled, so you can try every screen without touching your network. Click Start for real when you’re ready.

When you’re ready, sync a real account. You invite StarController into your Starlink account as an administrator — you never share your password. Full walkthrough: Sync your Starlink devices.

With at least one account synced, the Dashboard, Accounts, and Finance sections fill with your real terminals. From here you monitor status, reconcile billing, and issue temporary field access.

StarController starts at US$ 3.00 / month. It is billed as part of your MKController subscription, and your package is set by your total number of plan devices — each adopted Starlink, UniFi and MikroTik device counts as one, and devices monitored through NATCloud do not count, so adding terminals can move you up a tier. See How your devices are counted and Plans & billing for details.

StarController is an operations layer — not a replacement for Starlink. It never owns your connectivity, changes your Starlink plan, or bypasses Starlink billing, and you remain the account owner and can remove access at any time.

Some capabilities are still on the roadmap rather than shipped — including scoped least-privilege roles and an exportable access audit log. Where this guide describes a feature, it describes what works today.
