Expose face recognition from Unifi Protect integration

The Unifi Protect integration is amazing. The person and object detection exposed through sensors effectively makes PIR motioni sensors obsolete and are also a great solution for presence. This is huge!

Unifi’s latest AI cameras do on-camera face detection and have a great UI for face recognition, training, and matching. If this capability could be exposed through the integration, in the same style as the double-take integration for Frigate, we would be able to do things like:

  • Supress outdoor motion alerts for known people
  • Auto unlock or welcome
  • Person-specific presence routines

and so much more. Please give us access to the Unifi Protect face recognition features in HA.

Would be a great addition. In the meantime you could use the new alarm manager and webhooks in the latest EA version of protect. It does have triggers on known faces

Just a note, I’ve been screwing around with this and it is promising but not of any practical usefulness is of limited usefulness because the parameters for the webhook API have not been documented. AFAICT there is not a way to know that a particular face has been detected, for example. Let me know if you come up with any other information. Thanks!
