2025.8: The summer of AI ☀️

Maybe I’m wrong, but is it impossible now to give Home Assistant read-only permissions to Unifi Protect? I can’t seem to find any way to restrict what can be done with the API key. And it includes Unifi Network too. I intentionally do not give Home Assistant this kind of access, for security reasons, so this makes me quite uncomfortable to do. I’m rolling back to 2025.07 for now, until there is a way to restrict the permissions. Otherwise I’m probably going to replace the integration with RTSP streams and some webhook automations through alarm manager, because I’m using it read-only anyways, but that would definitely not be a good way to do it.
