The UniFi Controller allows you to manage your UniFi network
using a web browser.

![The UniFi Controller Hass.io add-on](images/screenshot.jpg)

## About

This add-on runs Ubiquiti Networks' UniFi Controller software, which allows
you to manage your UniFi network via the web browser. The add-on provides a
single-click installation and run solution for Hass.io, allowing users to get
their network up, running, and updated, easily.

This add-on supports all Hass.io supported architectures, including the
Raspberry Pi.

## Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in
comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.

1. [Add our Hass.io add-ons repository][repository] to your Hass.io instance.
1. Install the "UniFi Controller" add-on.
1. Start the "UniFi Controller" add-on.
1. Check the logs of the "UniFi Controller" to see if everything went well.
1. Click the "OPEN WEB UI" button, and follow the initial wizard.
1. After completing the wizard, log in with the credentials just created.
1. Go to the settings (gears icon in the bottom left) -> Controller (tab).
1. Change the `Controller Hostname/IP` to match the IP or hostname of
the device running Hass.io.
1. Check the box `Override inform host with controller hostname/IP`.
1. Hit the "Apply Changes" button to activate the settings.
1. Ready to go!

**NOTE**: Do not add this repository to Hass.io, please use:
`https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository`.

## Docker status

![Supports armhf Architecture][armhf-shield]
![Supports aarch64 Architecture][aarch64-shield]
![Supports amd64 Architecture][amd64-shield]
![Supports i386 Architecture][i386-shield]

[![Docker Layers][layers-shield]][microbadger]
[![Docker Pulls][pulls-shield]][dockerhub]

## Configuration

**Note**: _Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed._

Example add-on configuration:

```json
{
"log_level": "info",
"ssl": true,
"certfile": "fullchain.pem",
"keyfile": "privkey.pem"
}
```

**Note**: _This is just an example, don't copy and past it! Create your own!_

### Option: `log_level`

The `log_level` option controls the level of log output by the addon and can
be changed to be more or less verbose, which might be useful when you are
dealing with an unknown issue. Possible values are:

- `trace`: Show every detail, like all called internal functions.
- `debug`: Shows detailed debug information.
- `info`: Normal (usually) interesting events.
- `warning`: Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.
- `error`: Runtime errors that do not require immediate action.
- `fatal`: Something went terribly wrong. Add-on becomes unusable.

Please note that each level automatically includes log messages from a
more severe level, e.g., `debug` also shows `info` messages. By default,
the `log_level` is set to `info`, which is the recommended setting unless
you are troubleshooting.

### Option: `ssl`

Enables/Disables the use of a custom SSL (HTTPS) certificate with the in UniFi
web interface. Set it `true` to enable it, `false` otherwise.

**Note**: _When leaving this option disabled, UniFi will use a
custom/self-signed SSL certificate._

### Option: `certfile`

The certificate file to use for SSL.

**Note**: _The file MUST be stored in `/ssl/`, which is the default for Hass.io_

### Option: `keyfile`

The private key file to use for SSL.

**Note**: _The file MUST be stored in `/ssl/`, which is the default for Hass.io_

## Automated backups

The UniFi Controller ships with an automated backup feature. This feature works
but has been adjusted to put the created backups in a different location.

Backups are created in `/backup/unifi`. You can access this folder using
the normal Hass.io methods (e.g., using Samba, Terminal, SSH).

## Known issues and limitations

- The AP seems stuck in "adopting" state: Please read the installation
instructions carefully. You need to change some controller settings
in order for this add-on to work properly.
- This add-on does support ARM-based devices, nevertheless, they must
at least be an ARMv7 device. (Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero is not supported).
- When using SSL, the following warning is shown in the add-on logs:
`Warning: The JKS keystore uses a proprietary format.`. This warning can
be safely ignored. There is nothing wrong and your add-on will function
normally.
- Due limitation, renewed SSL certificates are not picked up automatically.
You'd have to restart the add-on in order for UniFi to pick up the change.
- Due to security policies in the UniFi Controller software, it is currently
impossible to add the UniFI web interface to your Home Assistant frontend
using a `panel_iframe`.
- The broadcast feature of the EDU type APs are currently not working with
this add-on. Due to a limitation in Hass.io, is it currently impossible
to open the required "range" of ports needed for this feature to work.

## Changelog & Releases

This repository keeps a change log using [GitHub's releases][releases]
functionality. The format of the log is based on
[Keep a Changelog][keepchangelog].
