Hey,

i have buy the Display 21 from unifi see here: Connect Display - Ubiquiti Store

Very good item, and very good price. I have install the Home Assist APK, all works fine, but the problem is, i can not control the Settings.

I have foud in Driver for Hubitat: https://www.drdsnell.com/projects/hubitat/drivers/UnifiConnectChild-UC-Display-SE-21.groovy

Most Importent is the Controll funktion to switch the Display on/off.

Here you can Control:
Ability to turn on/off the display
Ability to set the volume of the display
Ability to set the brightness of the display
Ability to start/stop locating light
Ability to reboot the display
Ability to check a website (mine) to notify user if there is a newer version of the Driver available

Can anybody make a integration, i will spend for this 500€/USD.

Yes, but very good quality and good mounting kit.

Hi Christoph,

That display sounds pretty cool, and getting full control over it through Home Assistant would definitely take it to the next level.

I’d be happy to take a look. I’ve done a fair bit with Home Assistant and integrating devices, so I might be able to help get those controls working.

You can reach out to me on my email here

@shadow18 @Colin1 did you make progress on this? I am also happy to contribute (payment) to get this done. Thanks in advance.

Bump on this? Would also be interested

Bump from me too please.
I have 4 of these displays and are perfect for HA. However, being able to at least control the on/off via HA will be awesome!

I’m actively working on this, but have working shell scripts to turn it on/off and navigate for the time being while I build out the repo and get it all working fully.

It looks great…
Do you have a video where you show the sensors in action and the screen?

15

You doubt that it works? :joy:
Just install the integration and give it a test.

16

No off course I don’t doubt if it works, I doubt about buying the Unifi Connect Display for this purpose. :wink:

The integration is useful to power on/off, change brightness, volume, etc… in your automations.

The screen itself is incredible to run Home Assistant and make a great dashboard. I don’t want to film mine for privacy but I have my full home dashboard on it, you can find some videos on Reddit for example.
