You cannot install UniFi controller on your router. Use something simple like RPi for that if you really need your controller running 24x7 or install it on your desktop if you need it only for occasional configuration changes and maintenance tasks.

Unifi Controller is a controller to all unifi devices which is connected by API so each devices doesn't have to run web server (which is lighter). Usually it's installed in desktop for fire and forget management, but there are some cases where unifi controller installed in mini server or stand alone device for cloud based management and other function like hotspot control.

Do you have any host overrides set for the hostname of the controller? Basically there is a setting where after the devices connect to the controller if you have this set it will change the inform URL.

Extra effort must be made to make adoption work when running in Docker. The default network type for Docker (bridge) means containers are not accessible on the network. For Layer 2 adoption, the documentation for Jacob Alberty's image mentions using host networking or the macvlan network. I've used host networking with this Docker image in Linux and it works well, however at the time of this writing (2022-04-10) host networking is not available in macOS Docker Desktop. I haven't tried using macvlan but it might work well (with either image, even though the LinuxServer.io documentation doesn't mention it). For Layer 3 adoption, it looks like you must enter the Docker host's IP in the UniFi Network Application's settings (the documentation for both Docker images has details of where to find the setting).

You can also run the Network Application "headlessly." I haven't tried it, but the instructions at -the-unifi-controller-headless-on-mac/ look promising. Note that you'll need to use a different exec string than the ones suggested on that page.

This is a parent/child set of drivers in order to read data from your Unifi controller (originally based around my Unifi Dream Machine Pro but now expanded to other Unifi controllers) and provide some information that may be useful to your Hubitat. Like most of my drivers this will be a perpetual project and I am always open to feedback.

Also it might be wise to separate out the system info from device count polling options. When i ran in debug, it brought back a lot of data for all my devices which was great, but i want System health every minute, but don't need the firehose of device data as often. Just a thought. Might be more impactful for bigger networks.

I'm going to be setting up my Unifi stuff this week, using a non-UDM/P controller, and I'm wondering how similar the APIs actually are. It looks pretty minimal in terms of path differences, but I haven't even begun to poke at it.

I'm trying to host the Unifi Controller in a docker container but I can't adopt a new device (access point) unless I set networking mode to "host". I have followed several guides and opened all ports listed here. It's possible to manage already connected devices and to find new devices but adopting them results in a never ending "adopting" status.

The docker container is running on a Raspberry Pi connected to wired network. The host is running other containers but there are no conflicting ports. If there were port conflicts it shouldn't be possible to start the container anyway.

To add to the above solution, once I updated the controller IP in the settings it was necessary to restart the docker container in order for it save the changes for good. Also a good idea to SSH in your AP and run a quick info command (just type info after login) to verify that the Status shows connected and to the right IP and not the internal docker network:

Allow control of network access to clients configured in the integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more.
[Learn more] options by adding MAC addresses. Items in this list will have a Home Assistant switch created, using the UniFi Device name, allowing for blocking and unblocking.

Get entities reporting receiving and transmitting bandwidth per network client. These sensors are disabled by default. To enable the bandwidth sensors, on the UniFi integration page, select Configure, go to page 3/3 and enable the bandwidth sensors.

This will show if there are firmware updates available for the UniFi network devices connected to the controller. If the configured user has admin privileges, the firmware upgrades can also be installed directly from Home Assistant.
