Connecting works fast. Probably within 5-10 seconds.  
Disconnecting however takes between 6-15 minutes…

I’m using my synology with the Unifi controller and an iPhone Xs Max. (IOS 12)

Same here as well. UniFi CloudKey and two iPhone XS and two 6s. When all of us leave the house, Xs and 6s are tagged as away at the same time. Connecting is fast, normally when I park my car outside, I get tagged as home before I even get out of the door

I was experimenting a bit and I can reproduce what you are experiencing. The problem appears to lie with the Unifi Controller software. If you switch off your wifi (and have wifi scanning switched off (at least in Android), it takes a few minutes before the Controller software removes your phone from the ‘Active Clients’ list. (it even keeps it as ‘just now’ even after a few minutes.

I’m using the Unifi Controller software on a raspberry pi.

I’ve been talking to the Unifi support about this “issue” and they came up with the following information:

> Okay. I have checked with my team and I have an update. The time taken by the controller is actually normal on the current versions though we are trying to reduce it. You can however try reducing the refresh rate of the controller to 15 seconds and check

I’ve tried reducing the refresh rate but that didn’t help.  
They can’t tell me how long it’s going to take before an update will be ready to solve this…

Hello! Is it possible to set an delay on devices logging out? Have problems with iPhones disconnecting for a minute or two when they are inactive from the user. Every time flows trigger for disconnection and connection… irritating!!!

Any solutions out there?

Does anyone got it worked with an UDM? I can’t get it connected even when I set the correct port.  
My old cloud key was working well.

You need to add a client by ip as person, then you can use it in your flows

Hi,  
Since this morning I’m no longer able to add a new wifi device. When I use the app to search for connected devices it times out after some time. Not showing anything. Any help?

Hi all,

I’m thinking of installing this app after upgrading my raspberry to unify controller. But:  
Do I actually need unifi AP’s in order to make the presence detection work, or does it also work wit AP’s like Ruckus an/or others?

After all, clients are eventually connected to the DHCP server, which is the unifi controller
