Hi there!

I tried to use this app but I cannot get it to work as I am using 2FA to login to my controller. Will this be supported soon?

I found some more info about it here (in Dutch, but I guess that will not be an issue):  
[https://tweakers.net/productreview/280522/ubiquiti-g4-doorbell-pro.html](https://tweakers.net/productreview/280522/ubiquiti-g4-doorbell-pro.html)  
[Unifi G4 Doorbell Pro OMG!!! - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Rud8yEWLM) (1:35)

Apparently it is still in development.

Hi

I get this error message when I try to connect a camera:

‘Validating Unifi Cloud Key  
Please add the NVR to Homey first and try again.’

I’m using a UDM Pro.

Please help thanks!

I have the same issue as well. Worked fine before. Now it stopped working and my flows responding on a ringing of the doorbell are not working anymore.

Any chance to add an action card that enables/disables the chime for de G4 Doorbell? Or set the length of the chime  
The Home Assistant supposedly used to have this option but I’d rather stick to homey only 🙂

This was in the post I found

I have a UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell, so it’s as easy as calling the service unifiprotect.set\_doorbell\_chime\_duration and setting the duration to 0.  
I still get phone and other notifications when the button is pushed! Just no indoor bell.

Thanks for looking into this!

Hello, I´m trying to configure a smart detection event on my Dreammachine Pro SE with a G4 Bullet, but I cannot sselect anything:

What can I do?

</div>

Or do I understand something wrong and you cannot configure this card?

Do I have to make the configuration in my Unifi system. Which option do I have to configure to trigger smart detection events? Would this be correct for the camera?

This is only an trigger card not for changing settings

One of my camera’s seems to be “hanging” on a motion alert, it won’t go off. I tried restarting the app and rebooting Homey. Is there anything I can do to cancel this motion alarm?

 ![Schermafbeelding 2022-07-13 om 10.37.12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/9/7918343f9b6760170c3095794ec0e13d78689765.png)

Another thing I noticed is that the time displayed there, is not correct as the actual time was 2 hours later. Maybe UTC time is used in this overview?

Edit: Motion alarm is now magically reset again, so all good.

Thanks for a great app, is it possible to add the possibility to change notification settings “off”, “default” or “custom” in a thencard?  
I would like the camera to record any motion 24/7, but only wants notifications when the alarm is activated.

What do you want to automate with the CloudKey? CloudKey has no actions only the devices that’s connect to it like a camera.

Is it possible that i can connect to your recorder? I think the UniFi® Protect Network Video Recorder (UnifiOs) has other software than the CloudKey and dream machine.

You can contact me on DM

> Start the ‘add device wizard’ in Homey, search for your UniFi Cloud Key and/or cameras and add them to your devices.

Well, that is the info from first post and why I asked the question. I would only used it for info purposes like temp, ram, etc.
