After latest update, wifi presence doesn't work

I use the Unifi plugin for presence but it seems that it stopped working. This kind of stuff is happening alot lately on a bunch of updates. not cool. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it (unifi). I also have another installation where the same thing happened.

Many mobil phones today randomize their MAC address to avoid tracking, so unless you have turned this off for your network, then you will lose the presence at intervals.

This just started and no updates on the phone have been done.

The phone might have been updated days or weeks ago and the timeouts just occur now.

This just started after 2 updates ago like maybe 3-4 days ago. ALL the phones are not tracked now, not just Android. iPhone too, those don’t randomize the MAC that I know of. Either way the Unifi add-on names it something no matter what the MAC does and keeps it at the same name.

IPhones were the first that started with this feature and MACs are all the network devices can see on a devices unless you install apps on the devices.

Dude it’s not that, period. There’s something broken. HA uses the Unifi addon’s ‘client name’ field for database tracking, not the MAC because of this phenomenon. However, it’s just stopped working.
