configuration:

device_tracker:

  • platform: unifi
    host: 192.168.1.XXX
    username: ! secret unifi_username
    password: ! secret unifi_password
    verify_ssl: True
    site_id: default
    detection_time: 60
    track_new_devices: yes
    ssid_filter:
    • ‘XXXXXXXXX1’
    • ‘XXXXXXXXX2’

any idea why i’m getting this error ??? the integration worked in the past but not anymore.

please help

Error setting up platform legacy

Did you miss any breaking changes updates or have some old custom components? Since it should not mention that if all is ok :wink: just a thought. I have unifi working fine on my side have not changed much lately though.

3

can you share with me your unifi configuration ?

thank you

4

Try removing from config and setting up in Integrations

Configuration>>Integrations>>"+">>unifi controller

5

would the unifi device_tracker works if i do that ?

6

docs are unclear but YES. device tracking works when setup using intergrations

7

I just tried it and i couldn’t find the devices. like nothing in known_devices.yaml or anywhere in home assistant.

8

Integration path doesn’t support device tracker yet. Work is ongoing to make it work

9

so i’m back to zero !!!

verify_ssl: true
maybe set to false. Are you sure ssl is OK from HA? recently renew cert or other change?

also sorry.
just realized this was not working for me.
I dont use this so when I checked I thought I saw working. when I verified again…realized I need to setup myself :smile:

11

I figured it out. you can not have special characters in the username & password field (you can not use secret.yaml ).

12

pretty sure i have weird characters in my passwords (maybe not unifi) but i also see a space in between the ! secret , don’t know if that matters.
