Can someone tell me the location of the QR code image?
I’d like to use it on an external website. Does anyone have any tips on the best way to do that?
Just recently upgraded from a UDMPro to a UCG Fibre, and noticing that the temperature updates very frequently, like every 10 seconds or so. Same with a number of other sensors. How would I go about reducing the update frequency? I really dont need that granualarity. Once every 5 mins would be enough for most of those sensors.
It will need a change in the integration to support that. It’s heavily requested to lower load on the system but is not currently planned. One community member did offer a solution to it but was not complete enough unfortunately
I have created a custom integration to test the official Unifi Network API:
The main goal is to test the API and maybe prepare its future use in this core integration - though this would require quite a lot of work (I saw Unifi protect started along this path).
For my use case it solves the CPU load issue, as it only does local polling of the API.
Feedbacks welcome !
Nice! How about expanding aiounifi as a first step? Continue with the custom integration but migrate to aiounifi and step 2 would be merging integrations. and then look at moving that logic into the normal one. I’m busy with house renovation so currently my focus here is helping others contribute
Yes I will definitely look into that.
This will probably require users to provide an API key in addition to the user/password while bot official and unofficial APIs are used (similar to what Unifi Protect integration is doing).
Maybe provide a mode where only sensors available via the official API are created if no user/password if given.
Another concern I have is that the official API is only available via Unifi OS, if I understand correctly. Today it’s possible to connect the integration to a Unifi Network application running in Docker for example, but Unifi OS requires podman on a server. Unifi OS is supposed to be the new standard for self hosting, but it may leave some people behind. Or it would mean keeping a compatibility mode again.
Anyway I’ll look into adding the API into aiounifi and keep you updated.
Hi gang - if this isn’t the right place to post please accept my apologies.
Just wondering how best to debug the entire Unifi Integration becoming unavailable 2-3 times every 24 hours. Causes Device Tracker devices to go unavailable and makes some automations trigger etc.
I’ve noticed this sometime since about 2025.11 I’d say. This would also be the time I enabled the PoE port stuff, so that I can turn on/off PoE ports on my Unifi switch when the UPS is running on batteries - maybe related?
Currently HA 2025.12.4 - Unifi Controller is standalone on a Proxmox LXC, version 10.0.162. I have 6 Unifi APs ( 4 x UAP-AR-LR, 1 x UAP-AC-PRO and 1 x UAP-Mesh)
If anyone can help me figure out how to debug why it’s disconnecting (Looking at some logs I see it “logs in” again after a failure) and having to reconnect I’d appreciate the help.
I knew this integration was going to create a lot of entities and devices so I was prepared to disable quite a few.
What I was not prepared for was that disabling the Unifi Networks device from the Devices & Services → UNifi list also disabled any other integration attached to that device. e.g. An ESPhome device, a Lifx light etc…
I wised up pretty quickly when I started getting huge numbers of missing entity alerts (a handy automation).
Is this expected behaviour?
I would have expected it to only disable the Unifi device.
Slowly getting things under control again.
One other thing I have noticed is that while I have enabled the traffic sensors, TX and RX rates are shown but not total used bytes. Is this not available?
Do I have to implement integral sensors to calculate this?

Do the sensors really need to update every two seconds?
My Recorder DB is now growing fast and that is after disabling almost all sensors. Pretty much only 2x WAN bandwidth sensors, a few network device status & update rensors are enabled.
My intentions are to move over to a polling solution rather than using websocket because of the load the amount of data transferred has on many systems. This would also result in the amount of data points will be lower. I have no time plan for it though, its been in my head for the last year - year and a half.
All good. And I do appreciate the work you’ve already put into this integration, as I’m sure so do many others.
However I’ve removed it for now in favour of SNMP and derivative sensors as I only need the bandwidth totals and rates of a couple of WAN ports. Way too many other sensors created with the Unifi integration for my use case.
