[ST Edge] UniFi Protect Sensors

Thanks for your work on this, it has been working great!

Is there a way to add support for selecting which devices to load? I have several cameras that I do not need in SmartThings that saturate/overwhelm the system with information (motion/person/etc.). I have been manually deleting the ones I don’t need, but they come back anytime I add/scan for other new devices or whenever the hub reboots.

Support by adding, now if you delete a device, it does not automatically reappear. But reappearing has an option in the controller.

check pls, i changed the driver.

Seems to work. With the new toggle on, when I scan for Nearby Devices, the deleted cameras do not return. :+1:t2:

Will have to wait and see what happens on the next hub firmware update and auto reboot. :crossed_fingers:t2:

Thanks, great work!

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the UniFi Protect driver — it works well overall.

My SmartThings history is getting flooded with “Memory” logs, so the event history becomes hard to use. I get 4 every minute with the RAM %.

Is there a way to disable these Memory updates/logs for the Controller device?

Greetings Henrik

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for reporting.

What was happening
The driver was sending NVR memory (and CPU temperature) to SmartThings every time UniFi Protect pushed a health update over the local WebSocket (~every 15 seconds). SmartThings logs each update in device history, which quickly floods the event log.

What I changed

  1. New controller setting: Report NVR Health Metrics (Settings → Unifi Protect Controller). Turn it Off to stop memory and CPU updates in SmartThings. NVR status (storage, camera counts, arm mode, etc.) still updates normally.

  2. Smarter reporting: The driver now only emits events when a value actually changes, so you shouldn’t see the same percentage repeated several times per minute.

If anything still looks noisy after the update, let us know what you’re seeing and we can look into it.

Thanks

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for all the work you have done. The doorbell press is now available for the G6 Entry so I can set up a routine.

Regarding the G3 Intercom. Have you been able to have a look at this one which is connected via Access?

Thank you.

Hi Patrick,

Sorry to be a pain. Just want to see if you have had any luck regarding the G3 Intercom?

Let me know.

Hi Maison,

The UniFi Access driver is on my channel; see if it works for you.

Hi Patrick,

I have successfully cconnected the access drivers. Thank you.

It is showing the access controls for the door locks and gate controls.

However the intercom is still not showing.

Its the only item that doesnt show on either the protect integration or this access integration.

Im not an expert on the programming side so not sure what to do to solve this.

Hi Patrick,

I have been waiting the past few weeks to see if the SmartThings crew would fix whatever they broke on their end.

This was working flawlessly since early June until a recent SmartThings hub update (maybe 62.6 or earlier). Now, I no longer get any history or events from any of the connected cameras, and cameras that were intentionally deleted in SmartThings keep coming back no matter what the settings.

I attempted deleting all the devices and the driver, reinstalled the driver and reconnected to Unifi Protect to load up the cameras, but that had no positive impact. Cameras show connected but have no history or activity after the initial wave of events at connection time.

Am I the only one having issues?

Hi JK,

The problem seems to be with firmware 62.6; I’m also having several issues with local drivers. From what I’ve researched, that does indeed seem to be the cause. I’ll let you know here as soon as I have more information.

I’ve just found this driver, installed just fine but it’s not working, not getting any activity?
