Unifi WAP and Cam questions

Configuration
1

Im triyng to setup the unifi component and have a few questions.

I tried the unifi component that looks at the controller first and I was not able to get it to work. I got nothing in the logs and nothing showed up in HA. weird! I am now thinking about using the component that looks directly at the AP. How does it connect to the AP though? Here is my config I tried, and a list of qustions I have :slight_smile:

device_tracker:
  - platform: unifi
    username: ***
    password: ***
    host: 10.1.1.6 _- question here, I have dns setup and I acutally normally access my controller using the name unifi.  should I put that i the config and do I need to put http infront of it?_
    port: 8443
    detection_time: 00:00:01
    verify_ssl: False

is the direct ap faster?

is there a reason to use one over the other?

does the direct ap connect ssh?

for you that have cams how do you like them? Ive been very happy with there aps and switches was thinking about adding some cams. do they integrate well with ha and dashboard?

Thanks!

Lower case for F in false maybe?

Host is the just the ip of the controller, no http needed.

My config is…

- platform: unifi
  host: 192.168.0.5
  username: BarryHampants
  password: Clabc012N2Ke2xBnKgXnPl
  verify_ssl: false

I have found nmap tracker works pretty well for me.

This is my question, too! I’m not having any success with a unifi controller connection (which I think is because the controller is a Hass.io add-on?? @ frenck?)

I’m not having any success either with the direct component because it won’t accept my password.

More fiddling… :wink:
