⚠️ ⚠️ 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, 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.
This repo is now deprecated in favor of the Home Assistant core version. This repo will be archived and removed from HACS after the 2022.4 release of Home Assistant.
Migration to HA Core Version Steps
If you have Smart Sensor devices and you are not running 0.12.0-beta10
or newer, 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:
- Upgrade to the 0.12.0 version for the HACS unifiprotect integration and restart Home Assistant.
- Remove your HACS
unifiprotect
integration from HACS (do not remove yourunifiprotect
config entry). It is safe to ignore the warning about needing to remove your config first. - Do not restart HA yet.
- Upgrade to Home Assistant 2022.2.x
You must remove the HACS integration efore upgrading to 2022.2.0 first to prevent a conflicting version of pyunifiprotect
from being installed.
0.12.0 was originally planned as a beta only release, but after giving it more thought, I figured it would be be great to mark it as stable for the folks that cannot upgrade to the HA core version in 2022.2.
This release is primarily fixes from the HA core process. There is also full support added for the G4 Doorbell Pro, the UP Sense.
This will be the last HACS release. After this point, the HACS repo is considered deprecated. We will still take issues in the repo as if people prefer to make them here instead of the HA core repo. But after a month or 2 we plan to archive the repo and have the integration removed from HACS.
Differences between HACS version 0.12.0 and HA 2022.2.0b1 version:
HACS Only
- Migration code for updating from
0.10.x
or older still exists; this code has been removed in the HA core version
HA Core Only
-
Full language support. All of the languages HA core supports via Lokalise has been added to the ingration.
-
Auto-discovery. If you have a Dream machine or a Cloud Key/UNVR on the same VLAN, the UniFi Protect integration will automatically be discovered and prompted for setup.
-
UP Doorlock support. The HA core version has full support for the newly release EA UP Doorlock.
Changes
-
CHANGE
: BREAKING CHANGE Removes all deprecations outlined in the 0.11.x release. -
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
: BREAKING CHANGE Removesprofile_ws
debug service. Core plans to add a more centralized way of getting debug information from an integration. This will be back in some form after that feature is added (estimate: 1-2 major core releases). -
CHANGE
: BREAKING CHANGE Removesevent_thumbnail
attribute and associatedThumbnailProxyView
. After a lot of discussion, core does not want to add more attributes with access tokens inside of attributes. We plan to add back event thumbnails in some form again. If you would like to follow along with the dicussion, checkout the architecure dicussion for it. -
