Ubiquiti Unifi WAP, port 443, lots of errors, bug?

Configuration
1

Hi

I’m trying to setup the Ubiquiti Unifi WAP (I already have it working but want the avoid the SSL error), by using a reverse proxy with a Let’s Encrypt cert.

I can access the unifi controller just fine in the browser by going to the URL I’m using.

If I change the host in my HASS config, it fails as it expects port 8443 (This was expected) if I add my port number (port: 443) I get this error on repeat:

[pyunifi.controller] Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Here is the full config for unifi:

- platform: unifi
  host: !secret unifi_url
  port: 443
  username: !secret unifi_username
  password: !secret unifi_password
  consider_home: 0:03:00
  track_new_devices: no

I have already tried using both single and double quotes around the port number, and I even tried prepending zeroes in front on the port number. (Fun fact 0443 is interpreted as port 291). As a last resort I tried encoding the port number as 443 but this gave me an error about it not being an int.

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this or if it’s a bug in the pyunifi.controller?

I am having the same SSL issue. Unifi does issue a self-signed certificate but I get the SSL error. Anyone was able to get this to work?

I spoke too soon. Add to your configuration verify_ssl: False
If you still want to use a certificate verify_ssl: /path to your certificate
That worked for me.

Cheers
