Unifi - passive PoE control

Feature Requests
1

I recently updated my home assistant instance and added the new controls for the poe ports of a switch. It works perfectly with the new Access-points that are powered over the lastest poe/ poe+ standard.

Nevertheless, I have two older access points which are supplied by passive 24v poe. When I switch the port to off, the poe on that port is correctly turned to off. When I switch the port back to on, the unifi integration turns the port on but with the wrong poe standard (poe+/ poe instead of passive 24v).

I already tried a port profile with passive poe as a standard but this doesn’t work either.

Has someone an idea on how to fix this problem?

The Poe on set the port to “auto” so its interesting that it doesn’t auto move to passive

Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

Can you code? :slight_smile: Otherwise I don’t think its possible

Yes, I can :slight_smile: I don’t have much experience with python but I can try to support you.

What you would need to do is to add a new platform with a select entity that you can select which “on” parameter the port should use.

Easy as pie :smiley:

You can take a lot of inspiration from between the UniFi poe port switch implementation and the deCONZ select platform

FWIW, I could use this functionality as well. I have a couple of wall mounted tablets I’m powering with 24v passive from the Unifi switch.

I’ve created an issue where I can remember this Unifi - passive PoE control · Issue #246 · Kane610/aiounifi · GitHub

Same use case as @ben1492 here, this would be fantastic. Any news / workarounds?

IIRC I couldn’t determine when a device supported passive PoE so it not possible to specifically set that value at the current time, only auto
