What is the UniFi integration configuration option "Disable UniFi Network wired bug logic"?

Hi all, I noticed that the Unifi integration has this strange option named Disable UniFi Network wired bug logic. Does anyone know what that is supposed to do? I didn’t see any info in the documentation about it, and nothing comes up in a Google search.

There is a known bug with UniFi that wireless clients going out of range from the Access points gets marked as wired. The Only thing I could do here would be to introduce an option to skip the wired bug fix.

**Home Assistant release with the issue:**  103.0 **Last working Home Assistant release (if known):** unknown **Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):**  HA in a venv on Raspbian Buster / RPi4B **Integration:**  https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/unifi/ **Description of problem:** mac-addresses of devices once connected to an Unifi AP will be added to the file `unifi_data` in `/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/.storage` as `wireless_devices` Once a device is listed in `unifi_data` and goes back to be a wired_client (e.g. when it's connected to an AP from a different manufacturer), presence detection stops working. Devices listed in `unifi_data` will stay at `not_home`. Removing the mac address from unifi_data and restarting HA will fix this issue temporarily. However, if a device reconnects to an Unifi AP, its mac address will be readded to the list in unifi_data (and will therefore not be recongnized as `home`again) See also https://community.home-assistant.io/t/unifi-presence-detecion-issue-with-unifi-data-and-wired-clients/155497 **Problem-relevant `configuration.yaml` entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):** ```yaml none as added via integrations ``` **Traceback (if applicable):** ``` ``` **Additional information:**
