Overview
This node interacts with the UniFi Protect API to retrieve information about a specific sensor by its unique identifier (UUID). It is useful in scenarios where detailed data about a particular sensor is needed, such as monitoring sensor status, configuration, or readings within a UniFi Protect system. For example, it can be used to fetch sensor details for automation workflows or system monitoring dashboards.
Use Case Examples
- Retrieve sensor details by providing the sensor's UUID to monitor its status in a security system.
- Fetch sensor configuration data to integrate with other smart home or security automation tools.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sensor ID | The unique identifier (UUID) of the sensor to retrieve. This is required to specify which sensor's data to fetch. |
| Request Options | Additional options to customize the API request, including batching settings, SSL certificate validation, proxy configuration, and request timeout. |
Output
JSON
sensor- The detailed information of the requested sensor retrieved from the UniFi Protect API.
Dependencies
- UniFi Protect API
- API authentication token (credential)
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the Sensor ID (UUID) is correct and exists in the UniFi Protect system; otherwise, the request will fail or return no data.
- 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 environment.
- Proxy settings must be correctly configured if used; incorrect proxy details can cause request failures.
- Timeout settings should be adjusted based on network conditions to avoid premature request abortion.
