A tip for anyone using the UniFi Protect integration, 2025.8 starts using the new public API & requires the user account in UniFi protect be a Super Admin in order to create the API key. If your existing account for home assistant is not a super admin the integration will fail to initialise.

Protect only or network also?

Does that mean you don’t have local access now?

The API is still local to the UniFi console but it’s actually documented and officially supported now, there is even an integrated API viewer. They added it in Protect 6.0.

Should allow the HA integration to add some missing features as there are APIs for things like moving PTZ cameras to preset positions which isn’t possible with the current integration.
