The template warning are there because the unifi_ap sensor doesn’t show up.
Maybe you should try with
sudo python /config/scripts/unifi.py
or
sudo python3 /config/scripts/unifi.py
I am not familiar with the supervised installation so I do not know how it tries to run the commands.
As a last resort, you may want to publish the data via mqtt.
For example, with paho.mqtt
If you need help trying this approach let me know.
Is there away specify the server type ?
I have a cloudkey that is running the same OS as that is on the Dream Machines. Seems like it is being picked up as a cloudkey/classic under “UnifiServerType” and not the new unifiOS that is on the dream machine.
It works perfectly with, GitHub - custom-components/sensor.unifigateway: High level health status of UniFi Security Gateway devices via UniFi Controller
After some tinker and playing around, managed to get it to work for me with 2 issue… Total client for ap/2.4ghz/5ghz are showing up as total for 3 ap’s and not per ap’s. Also not able to pull the guest connected to the ap’s.
Here is how I changed it: GitHub - w1tw0lf/Unifi-AP-Device-info: Unifi AP Device info via API for home assistant
PS: thank you @valvex for the inspiration
going to give this a try, question about:
target_mac = ‘’ ## the mac address of your AP device
I have 2 ap’s how to add this?
You would basically need to have two unifi_ap.py files.
unifi_ap1.py for first ap
unifi_ap2.py for second ap
Then the sensors in configuration.yaml will need be duplicated and every unifi_ap will need to be replaced with unifi_ap1 and the duplicate section with unifi_ap2
The same for the card as well. You can replace unifi_ap1 and unifi_ap with ap names as in controller as what I did.
PS: clients and guest per ap is fixed now as well.
thanks… first I need to get the connection working 
For some reason can’t your code working, the original is working only some sensors are not correct.
For now i have this, need to look to get some more info out of my switch
What errors are you getting ? What controller type are you running ? Do you have the unifigateway component installed ?
Code updated and fixed. Showing correct info for everything as far as I can see, even for users of 2.4ghz and 5ghz per ap.
in short,
wifi0clients = sum(1 for _ in re.finditer(r'\b%s\b' % re.escape('wifi0'), str(clients)))
wifi0clients = sum(1 for _ in re.finditer(r'\b%s\b' % re.escape('wifi1'), str(clients)))
needs to change to
wifi0clients = devs['radio_table_stats'][0]['user-num_sta']
wifi1clients = devs['radio_table_stats'][1]['user-num_sta']
With SSL on false and true

also it looks like connecting to:
host=‘192.168.179.202’, port=443
but my settings are:
host = ‘192.168.179.202’
username = ‘Secret’
password = ‘Secret’
version = ‘UDMP-unifiOS’
site_id = ‘default’
port = ‘38193’
Got a feeling you not using a cloudkey or udm for controller, hence the custom port = ‘38193’.
Would suggest you look at changing the version that can be set to ‘v4’ or ‘UDMP-unifiOS’ Default value: v5.
If I look at the error it is trying to connect to port 443 and not 38193
correct not running cloudkey or UDM, running it on my Qnap nas…
port 443 and not 38193 this is what I did see also, but saw now it was changed in the error now complaining about certificates… need to dig a bit more
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/requests/adapters.py”, line 227, in cert_verify
raise IOError("Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate bundle, "
OSError: Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate bundle, invalid path: True
Not sure about that issue. Thinking the way the qnap setups the controller is not the same as the default. You will need to look at how the api connects to the qnap instance.
Made few changes and added sensors for switches now as well. 
Have it working:

Have done the following:
#### fill in your unifi controller credentials ####
host = '192.168.179.202'
username = 'Secret'
password = 'Secret'
version = 'unifiOS'
site_id = 'default'
port = '38193'
verify_ssl = False
target_mac = 'f0:9f:c2:19:52:c0' ## the mac address of your AP device
client = Controller(host=host,username=username,password=password,site_id=site_id,port=port,ssl_verify=verify_ssl)
I changed the client string, and that worked out…
Perfect. Thought that might be the issue.
Many thanks for doing this and works great.
I have 5 APs so would have been a bit of effort to duplicate it 5 times so I made and APPDAEMON app from it, I am by no means an expert but it seems to work ok.
This will create all the sensors and update every 2 minutes as you had for all your APs specified in the target_macs field.
You will need to amend the cards to match each AP sensor names
No need for the command_line or template sensors
Don’t forget to add pyunifi to Appdaemon’s config
Not done the same for switches as not fussed about this level of detail for my switches but should be easily adaptable
EDIT: Have done it for my switches now to add POE ports power and voltage monitoring

Definitely possible, I have AppDaemon running a repeating script to do exactly what you’re trying to do. Did you figure it out?
Nope - haven’t looked at it since though - got a few things going on at the moment. Can you share details of how that works?
