Monitor nearby access point with Unifi

I have a cable modem provided by my ISP with built in Wi-Fi. But I use a Unifi AP. So I have disabled the Wi-Fi in the modem. However it will enable Wi-Fi again on its own after a period of time for some reason. I assume the ISP is responsible.
So my question is if I can somehow tap in to the Unifi controller and query the list of nearby access points that I can see in the Unifi controller interface? So I know when it is time to disable the cable modem’s Wi-Fi again.

did you ever figure this out? I used to do exactly this a couple of years ago using Indigo.
