UniFi Security Gateway

Still seeing a lot of errors saying ‘no healthinfo attribute for controller’` constantly. I have the latest code from github and I am running 0.82.

I have checked that my user has access to system stats in the cloud key. I also have checked that I am using pyUnifi 2.15.

Any suggestions ?

It appears that sometimes on login, only approx half the functions are available via the library. Since we can accurately detect when this occurs (the no healthinfo attritbute error), the plan is to then logout, wait a few seconds and then attempt the login again.
So there will be an update coming soon, once I get some time to implement…

Any issues running this on hassio?

Nope. Works for me…

I’d like to echo the earlier request for CPU utilization and and WAN capacity.

My USG 3P loves to sit at 100% CPU usage for seemingly no reason and a component like this would make it easy to track and alert on.

Here are a few template sensors for CPU, memory and WAN IP.

In configuration.yaml:

- platform: template
  sensors:
    unifi_gateway_wan_cpu:
      friendly_name: 'CPU'
      value_template: "{{ states.sensor.unifi_gateway_wan.attributes['gw_system-stats']['cpu'] }}"

    unifi_gateway_wan_mem:
      friendly_name: 'Memory'
      value_template: "{{ states.sensor.unifi_gateway_wan.attributes['gw_system-stats']['mem'] }}"

    unifi_gateway_wan_ip:
      friendly_name: 'WAN IP'
      value_template: '{{ states.sensor.unifi_gateway_wan.attributes.wan_ip }}'

The CPU and Memory look pretty good in a Lovelace horizontal stack of 2 or 3 “gauge” cards, at least in a desktop -sized browser.

Hi,
I got everything succesfully configured and the sensors are available with the correct information - BUT they’re not updating…

I’m running 86.4 and all my other sensors are updating their info at regular intervalls. What am I missing?

Upgraded my CloudKey Controller version to 5.10.12-11629-1 and this seems to have broken the custom component.

The initial login attempt from HomeAssistant results in the following:
Failed to connect to Unifi: Login failed - status code: 400

I have not updated to the latest firmware myself but read that the PyUnifi library has had to be updated to support the latest login process. Therefore the component has updated its requirements to PyUnifi 2.16, the latest version should propagate through shortly. Please let me know how you get on with it.
(The login process is the same as the Unifi device tracker, so if that is working ok, so should this component)

Requirement already satisfied: pyunifi in /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.7/site-packages (2.16)

Thanks for replying so quickly. I updated unifigateway.py, checked my pyunifi version and still get the HTTP 400 error. My device tracker component is working without issue.

@jchasey I wonder if you can help me ?

I am getting the following error … what does this mean

[custom_components.sensor.unifigateway] Failed to access health info: api.err.NoSiteContext

here is my sensor settings

  • platform: unifigateway
    host: ‘192.168.1.17’
    username: ‘user’
    password: ‘password’
    port: ‘8443’
    site_id: ‘Ferry Village’
    verify_ssl: false
    monitored_conditions:
    • www
    • wan
    • lan
    • wlan
    • alerts
    • firmware

The login details are for the controller software not the USG itself.

Thanks in adavnce

It appears that sometimes you can successfully login to the controller, but when you try and make the API call for the health information nothing is returned. In that situation the Failed to access health info error message is reported. Restarting HA generally sorts the problem.
Intention is to update the startup code to login, check the API is available, and if not, logout and try again, just havn’t had time to update the code to do this.

No matter how many times I reboot keep failing … below is the full log

What is your config for the component?

@jchasey Below is in my configuration.yaml

sensor:

  • platform: unifigateway
    host: ‘192.168.1.17’
    username: ‘user’
    password: ‘password’
    port: ‘8443’
    site_id: ‘Ferry Village’
    verify_ssl: false
    monitored_conditions:
    • www
    • wan
    • lan
    • wlan
    • alerts
    • firmware

The file is located in the following location:

\config\custom_components\sensor\unifigateway.py

I think it is your site_id. Rather than plain text, this is an encoded string. If you log into the Unifi controller, the default site uses the name ‘default’ within the URL:

https://unifi.ubnt.com/5.9.29.1/unifi/site/default/dashboard

However, then switch to your alternate site, and instead of the english site name, there is an encoded string in the URL, e.g.:

https://unifi.ubnt.com/5.9.29.1/unifi/site/t5unereb/dashboard

That is the string you need to use for site_id config:

site_id: 't5unereb'

Thanks I will give that a go …. don’t know where it comes up with the ids but below is the url

manage/site/abjk0pl2/dashboard

I will change site to ‘abjk0pl2’ and see how that works out

This component seems to be broken since 0.92 and the “Great migration” can anyone confirm if they have it working?

it’s working. you need to add a manifest.json file (see below) in the unifigateway folder. So the folder will contain the sensor.py and this.

{
  "domain": "unifi_sensor",
  "name": "Unifi",
  "documentation": "https://github.com/custom-components/sensor.unifigateway",
  "requirements": [],
  "dependencies": [],
  "codeowners": []
}

Can confirm that adding the manifest.json makes the component work.
