UniFi Protect

Interact with UniFi Protect API

Actions18

Overview

This node interacts with the UniFi Protect API to retrieve information about a specific doorbell camera using its unique identifier (UUID). It is useful for scenarios where detailed data about a particular doorbell camera is needed, such as monitoring status, configuration, or events related to that doorbell. For example, a user can automate fetching doorbell camera details for security monitoring or integration with other smart home systems.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve the status and configuration of a doorbell camera by providing its UUID.
  2. Automate the collection of doorbell camera data for security event logging.

Properties

Name Meaning
Doorbell ID The unique identifier (UUID) of the doorbell camera to retrieve information for. This is a required field.
Request Options Additional options to customize the request behavior, including batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and request timeout.

Output

JSON

  • doorbell - The detailed information of the requested doorbell camera retrieved from the UniFi Protect API.

Dependencies

  • UniFi Protect API
  • API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Doorbell ID (UUID) is correct and exists in the UniFi Protect system; an incorrect ID will result in no data or errors.
  • If SSL certificate validation fails and the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option is not enabled, the request may be blocked; enable this option only if you trust the network.
  • Proxy settings must be correctly configured if used; incorrect proxy details can cause request failures.
  • Timeout settings should be adjusted based on network conditions; too short a timeout may cause premature request abortion.
