After updating to 2024.4.4 I was able to set up the protect integration without an error message.
protect hasn’t been updated or changed
unclear as to why it works or what is different, but it’s fixed for me
I’ve had a steady Unifi Protect connection for the past month or so, but woke up this morning to HA telling me my Unifi Protect ‘Authentication Expired’. I put in the local username and pwd and received a message stating ‘Invalid Authentication’. I changed the local pwd and got the same result.
Anyone else seen this?
same problem here
I had what I thought was a local account but by virtue of it having been connected to the cloud at one time it - was considered a cloud account at one time (by some unknown rule) and the UniFi integration was barking at me about the upcoming mfa stuff.
I killed the account and rebuilt it completely locally on the UDM and it hasn’t complained yet. Did you ever give that account you’re using a external email or hook it to the cloud?
No. The account is not linked to an email address and I have never accessed it outside my LAN.
Now my unifi integration also failed. I am on 4.0.3

Ah I’m still on a 3.0.x build…
Looks like some issues with EA 4.0.3:
Go into Unifi Console and create a new local user account for HA. The Protect integration logged in on 1st attempt. Trying to set up Network integration is not fixed by this method.
I’m having the same issue, “unknown error occurred”
- Core 2024.5
- Operating System 12.2
- Protect 3.0.26
I’m using a local Unifi user.
Hi all, was just about to chime in with the same problem. I downloaded HA today and have been trying to set it up solely for the UniFi Protect integration, followed all steps (nice guides, btw), but kept getting the “failed to connect” error. I realized I was copy/pasting the URL for my UniFi console… just typed the IP address only and it worked. Feels like an obvious mistake now, but figured I’d leave it here anyway. Here’s my versions:
HA Core 2024.5.4
HA OS 12.3
UniFi OS v3.2.12
UniFi Protect v3.0.26
v4 of Unifi Protect went GA a few days ago and broke my integration. I’m running HA 2024.5.5.
When I try to readd the integration I just get an unknown error in the UI.
This error is in the HA logs

ValueError: 'IMAGE' is not a valid DoorbellMessageType
I’ve got the same issue with 2024.5.5. Tried removing, adding, debug… all the same.
Delete the user in unifi and create a new one. You can try deleting and creating a new user with the same name/password. I didn’t think of it until afterward, I deleted the integration and re added with the new user.
I figured it out. It breaks if you enable a custom image in the doorbell.

Thank you @albert.pender
however,
OH MY GOD!!! This doorbell image is fighting to the DEATH to not work. Unbelievable!
I just had to reboot my HA Green. My protect integration is no longer working.
It worked fine with the new Protect update for the last several days.
It was only until I rebooted my HA that it broke the integration.
EDIT: I removed the custom doorbell image, and switched back to my NO SOLICITING message.
Now the Unifi Protect integration works.
Thanks @albert.pender
Hoping this might help others:
Upgraded HA to 2024.6.3 which broke Unifi Protect (v3.0.26)
Getting “Failed Setup, Unable to connect to host” (or similar in HA)
Then upgraded Unifi Protect to v4.0.33 (from v3.0.26), hoping this would fix HA integration.
Nope, same problem.
Rebooted everything, no good.
Found this conversation.
Created a new local only user in Unifi Protect.
Deleted Unifi Protect integration in HA.
Added Unifi Protect integration in HA, using the new user.
Fixed - All Good Again.
Note: I do not have a doorbell image, only a text message.
Interestingly, HomeBridge Unifi Protect plugin worked happily through all of the above upgrades and reboots without any problems. I use HomeBridge to front the Unifi Protect Cameras into Apple HomeKit (Not HA) because HomeBridge supports HKSV and does seem to be more reliable.

I’m new to Home Assistant. Trying to add the UniFi Protect Integration but get the “Failed to connect” message.
Unifi OS: v4.0.18
Unifi Protect: v5.0.35
Any updates or is this still broken?
Thanks
I cannot login now, has been working for years. I tried creating a new user in protect.
Cannot login with new user.
Hassio v2024.10.1

Do you want to set up UDM-Pro (192.168.1.1)? You will need a local user created in your UniFi OS Console to log in with. Ubiquiti Cloud Users will not work. For more information: UniFi Protect - Home Assistant
