[Solved] Using UniFi integration with non-default site

Specialist · August 31, 2022, 8:39am

Hi there,

I have been using the UniFi Network integration with HA over the last couple of years successfully with the UniFi controller’s default site. Fast-forward, we have moved and the new location got a new site in the UniFi controller.

Unfortunately, it seems to be impossible to select anything but the default site when configuring the UniFi Network integration in Home Assistant. Did I miss anything? How can I expose a non-default site to Home Assistant?

Thanks,
Thilo

It should be possible. At least it used to work. How are you running Unifi?

I’m running the UniFi Controller in a Docker container on a server located in a data center reachable via VPN. Both sites (the orphaned default site and the new one) are hosted by this very instance. HA does connect, but I nowhere see the option to select a site different from the default site while configuring the integration and only get entities from the default site.

When you run the flow you should get a step to select site, except if the site count is equal to 1, so its only one listed I assume

        self.hass.config_entries.async_update_entry(
                      config_entry, data=self.config
                  )
                  await self.hass.config_entries.async_reload(config_entry.entry_id)
                  return self.async_abort(reason=abort_reason)
          
          
    site_nice_name = self.site_names[unique_id]
              return self.async_create_entry(title=site_nice_name, data=self.config)
          
          
if len(self.site_names) == 1:
              return await self.async_step_site(
                  {CONF_SITE_ID: next(iter(self.site_names))}
              )
          
          
return self.async_show_form(
              step_id="site",
              data_schema=vol.Schema(
                  {vol.Required(CONF_SITE_ID): vol.In(self.site_names)}
              ),
          )

Hm, that’s very strange. I am almost certain that I do have three sites :

Ah, had a permission issue. Had to enable access to all sites for the HA user. Consider this resolved.
