on GitHub

0.12.0-beta10

This is the last planned release for the HACS version. This release primarily adds new features for the G4 Doorbell Pro and the Smart Sensor. This release does unfortunatly have a couple of breaking changes for people with doorbells and Smart Sensors which are avoidable due to how soon the Home Assistant core release is.

• CHANGE: BREAKING CHANGE The "Chime Duration" number entity has been replaced with a "Chime Type" select entity. This makes Home Assistant work the same way as UniFi Protect. (https://github.com/briis/unifiprotect/issues/451)

• CHANGE: BREAKING CHANGE Smart Sensor support has been overhauled and improved. If you have Smart Sensors, it is highly recommended to delete your UniFi Protect integration config and re-add it. Some of the categories for the sensors have changed and it is not easy to change those without re-adding the integration. The sensors for the Smart Sensor are may also appear unavaiable if that sensor is not configured to be abled. For example, if your have motion disabled on your Sensor in UniFi Protect, the motion sensor will be unavaiable in Home Assistnat. Full list of new Smart Sensor entites:

  • Alarm Sound and Tampering binary sensors
  • Motion Sensitivity number
  • Mount Type and Paired Camera selects
  • Status Light switch
  • Configuration switches for various sensors:
    • Motion Detection switch
    • Temperature Sensor switch
    • Humidity Sensor switch
    • Light Sensor switch
    • Alarm Sound Detection switch

• CHANGE: Adds full support for the package camera for the G4 Doorbell Pro. It should now always be enabled by default (if you are upgrading from an older version, it will still be disabled). The snapshot for the Package Camera has also been fixed. Since the camera if only 2 FPS, streaming is disabled to prevent buffering.

• FIX: Overhaul of the Websocket code. Websocket reconnects should be drastically improved. Hopefully all reconnnect issues should be gone now.

⚠️ ⚠️ WARNING ABOUT Home Assistant v2022.2

The unifiprotect integration will be in Home Assistant core v2022.2. If you are running 0.10.x or older of the HACS integration, do not install v2022.2.x of Home Assistant core.

If you are running 0.11.x or the 0.12.0-beta, you should be safe to delete the HACS version as part of your upgrade. The 0.11.x branch is designed to be compatible with the 0.12.0-beta and the HA core version. The latest version of 0.12.0-beta will be the version of unifiprotect in HA core in v2022.0.

After v2022.2.0 comes out, this repo will be deprecated in favor of the Home Assistant core version.

If you have Smart Sensor devices and you are not running 0.12.0-beta10, it is recommended you just delete your UniFi Protect integration config and re-add it. If you do not have Smart Sensor devices, you can migrate to the Home Assistant core version by following the steps below:

1. Upgrade to the latest 0.11.x release or the latest 0.12.0-beta release for the HACS unifiprotect integration and restart Home Assistant.
2. Upgrade to Home Assistant 2022.2.x
3. Remove your HACS unifiprotect integration and restart Home Assistant. It is safe to ignore the warning about needing to remove your config first.
