Hi,
Longtime Unifi user. I have UDM Pro. Last time I tried to use Unifi in HA it gave me way more info that I needed so I got rid of it. What I am looking for is information regarding my equipment (ap, switches). Ideally I’d like to be able to query Unifi to let me know if I have firmware updates. But that is second phase. I don’t want to manage my Unifi with HA, just get information. I assume then I don’t want the add-on and integration will give me information on all my equipment?
I have the UniFi Integrations installed (Network and Protect). It allows for a number of entities for monitoring of the devices, such as temperatures, up-to-date markers, CPU and memory utilizations, uptimes, etc.
If you have a UDM Pro the controller should be integrated in your hardware, so you don’t need the UniFi Controller add-on. This is for people (like me) who just have a bunch of APs from UniFi and need a software to manage them.
If you want the data from the controller in Home Assistant and do firmware updates you need the UniFi Network Integration:
I’ve just got myself a Unifi POE Switch Lite-16. My first Unifi device in our network. It’s not conected yet, but I’ve created a Unifi Controller in a Proxmox VM and am having a look at integrating it into Home Assistant. When I login to the UI from the Unifi Controller’s IP address, it shows me this login screen.
but it won’t let me create a local user and looks nothing like the example in the Home Assistant docs
UPDATED
Sorted after I found this very useful thread on the Unifi Forum from 3 years ago
