Device Tracker Not Creating known_devices.yaml?

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

New to home assistant and trying to setup my Unifi Controller for presence detection. I believe I copied the tracker information correctly into the configuration.yaml file…

device_tracker:

  • platform: unifi
    host: 192.168.1.XXXX
    port: 8443
    username: HomeAssistant
    password: XXXXXXXXXX
    ssid_filter:
    • ‘XXXXXX’
    • ‘XXXXXX’

I also noticed the errors below in the logs. I had to replace all the links but the first two with the word LINK as I am apparently only allowed to post two links as a new user. All the links were pretty much identical to one of the first two.

cmdline: git clone --recursive -v https://www.home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.unifi/ /data/addons/git/b48d8caf
stderr: 'Cloning into ‘/data/addons/git/b48d8caf’…
fatal: repository ‘https://www.home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.unifi/’ not found
'.

I’m sure I am missing something, but I can’t figure it out. Could really use some suggestions. Thanks!

Okay, so I tried installing using Hassbian instead and still getting an error…

Figured it out! The unfi password can’t use special characters.
