I just updated and I can no longer see or control my UBNT mFi devices. I was just going to roll back, but read that since it’s probably a config issue that a change on the newer versions cause, I should try to fix instead. Problem is, I don’t know where to start.
I have reboot both mFi server and Hass separately. If I do both at the same time Hass tries to connect to mFi while it is still booting up, which gives the error for failure to connect and never ties again until Hass is resarted.
Here is the error info:
Error while setting up platform mfi

Here is the config that has always worked in my configuration.yaml:
# mFi Switch
switch:
- platform: mfi
host: 10.100.0.199
username: mfiuser
password: mfipassword
verify_ssl: False
# mFi Sensor and Weather prediction
sensor:
- platform: mfi
host: 10.100.0.199
username: mfiuser
password: mfipassword
verify_ssl: False
This is the main thing I use Hass for since UBNT never made a Android app. I used to write bash and curl scripts invoked with php and use a http request app to turn on and turn off stuff, which gets pretty tedious when you need 2 scripts for each device.
