Unifi SSL certificate verify failed

Configuration

Hi, I use the platform: unifi as a device_tracker.
This worked unitil 0.39.

Now it shows errors… any hints for solution?

I see this as well. Haven’t had a chance to look into it at all yet though.

Same here, using a self signed cert. Can’t seem to find how to trust this :confused:

Just add verify_ssl: False to your Unifi config entry and it should work.

  - platform: unifi
    host: 192.168.2.163
    username: !secret unifi_username
    password: !secret unifi_password
    verify_ssl: False

Thanks!
That did the trick… shouldn’t this be in the docs?

Works, thanks!
Should definitely be mentioned in https://home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.unifi/

It should be in the docs soon.

Thanks for this! I ran into the same problem upgrading from 0.38.4 to 0.42.2. Adding ‘verify_ssl: False’ to configuration.yaml seems to have fixed it.

This suggestion of disabling the verification of SSL worked for me.
Thank you
