Hi @ObelixNL

Thanks for great addition for PoE cycling, that’s cool. My question is if any of the port on a switch can be disabled or turn off a specified PoE out on a switch? I’d like to turn off cameras completely sometimes.

Can you check the latest test version?

Nice feature with turn off/on port Poe. Is there any limitations on what switches this work on? My old US8 60w work but my new USW Ultra 60w do not seem to turn off poe port. Once again, nice feature 💪

I too have recently problems with credentials. It worked, have not changed UniFi Network App (v2.5.2) settings. I am running UniFi Network 9.4.19.  
When validating credentials i get:  
”Error: Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘getLastWebsocketMessageTime’)”  
Next try gives “Verbinding mislukt. Controleer de gegevens en probeer het opnieuw.”  
Pull method is (by default) “Interval & Websocket”, interval value 15  
I have enabled application flows.  
Both are on the same VLAN (192.168.10.\*)

Since the last days the unifi app randomy loses connection to my controller

This is offcourse a problem as I use this for prescense detection.

Anyone else encouters this issue?

resetting the app fixes this but after a couple of days it loses connection again, I think this started since the last update

I still can’t get the “Device just connected/Apparaat verbondem met wifi” card to work properly. Other cards like client connected or roams to AP are working perfectly for me. But this one for some reason is not.

For test purposes I’ve setup that on each “Device just connected” card trigger I should receive a smartphone notification with the SSID. I’ve had this running a couple of weeks and it only seems to actual trigger about 2% of the time.

I’ve tried with a new local admin user but no luck. Also the log remains empty for me.

Also should it normally work for a guest vlan (seperate from main vlan) connections?

</div>

I did not. Do you mean that the trigger will only work for fixed mac addresses?

It would defeat its purpose, almost all “dynamic” (e.g. smartphones, watches,…) client devices will have randomized mac addresses nowadays. And I wouldn’t be able to detect guest connections 😕

Sorry the problem is that you must have a unique identifier, hostname can be the same for multiple devices. For quest devices you must enable application flows checkbox.

Ah that’s too bad. I do wonder how Ubiquiti does it then for the connected clients list inside Unifi. Because that seems to remember all my named devices correctly, even with randomized mac.

Would it maybe be possible to add a card “first device connected to SSID” and “last device disconnected from SSID”? And if so, would this work for a guest SSID on a seperate VLAN?

It would be a great addition for me (and others as well I think). I would finally be able to then make a reliable “babysit mode” i.e.: IF “last homey user left the house” AND “guest SSID in use” THEN “enable babysit mode”.

Many devices broadcast their device name, maybe Unifi sees that and uses it

I changed the password on the controller, re-entered the new user/password and the error still existed.

Now after a couple of hours it is working.

sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the quick reply!

1. Your Homey and UniFi controller must on the same network and IP address range.
2. You must have created a local account with full permissions
3. When you have one site, please use site name default
4. Password must be long
5. Unique user for every integration

I have tested it today with Apple devices, its rotate the mac address and shows a new device in unifi portal. Today it shows my iPhone is a Mac Studio Pro with protection on fixed. When I set the option to rotate its rotate my MAC address (not directly) and shows a new device within the unifi portal.

You have three options on a Apple Device (off, static, rotate) when you use static you get for every wifi network a other mac address. I have choosen for static for my known networks and off for my private networks.

Rotate for all other networks but does not connect often to that kind of networks, I will use 4G with a VPN connection.

Can you let me know? If not then I’ll try to puzzle something ad-hoc together myself using the network api.
