UniFi Network
unifi
UniFi Network by Ubiquiti Networks, inc. is a software that binds gateways, switches and wireless access points together with one graphical front end.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
light | Light | |
switch | Switch or outlet | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
device_tracker | Presence (as an occupancy sensor) |
What people report
UniFi Network works locally with a local admin user; cloud SSO and MFA accounts, and Early Access releases, cause login failures.

| UniFi UDM Pro / UCG with MFA | Partly works Local | Integration login broke after MFA enforcement; local non-cloud user requiredSaved copyThe problem Unifi forced me to enable 2 factor authentication to unifi controller. I think integration doesn't work anymore and it is unable to login. After using "reconfigure" option i receive "Invalid authentication" message. Also i receive "MFA Login Authentication Use this code to authenticate your Ubiquiti SSO login attempt." email. But there is no way to enter code to HA login dialog.

Limitations from the docs
- Ubiquiti SSO cloud users are not supported. You must create a local user in your UniFi OS Console. See the Local user section for instructions.
- Early Access and Release Candidate versions of UniFi Network and UniFi OS are not supported. Only the official Stable Release channel is expected to work with this integration.
- Presence detection is not compatible with MAC Address Randomization, which is enabled by default on most modern smartphones. This feature must be disabled per network on the client device.
- Changes to LED control on access points may take over 5 seconds to apply because the device must adopt a new configuration first.
- Lingering entities: In some edge cases, clients or devices removed from UniFi Network may remain in the Home Assistant device registry and need to be removed manually.
