Overview
This node interacts with the UniFi Protect API to retrieve detailed information about a specific event identified by its unique Event ID. It is useful in scenarios where users need to access event data such as motion detection, doorbell rings, or other recorded events from their UniFi Protect system. For example, it can be used to fetch event details for security monitoring or automation workflows triggered by specific events.
Use Case Examples
- Retrieve details of a motion detection event using its Event ID to analyze security footage.
- Fetch doorbell ring event information to trigger notifications or other actions in a home automation system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Event ID | The unique identifier (UUID) of the event to retrieve. This is required to specify which event's details to fetch. |
| Request Options | Additional settings to control the request behavior, including batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy configuration, and request timeout. |
Output
JSON
event- The detailed information of the requested event retrieved from the UniFi Protect API.
Dependencies
- UniFi Protect API
- API authentication token (credential)
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the Event ID is correct and exists in the UniFi Protect system; otherwise, the node will not return event data.
- If SSL certificate validation fails and the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option is not enabled, the request may be blocked; enable this option to bypass SSL errors if necessary.
- Proxy settings must be correctly configured if a proxy is required; incorrect proxy details can cause request failures.
- Timeout settings should be adjusted based on network conditions to avoid premature request abortion.
