Homebridge UniFi Occupancy Sensor


This Homebridge plugin will provide an occupancy sensor accessory to HomeKit based on the devices connected to WiFi access points managed by a UniFi Controller.

The plugin connects to the UniFi Controller event web socket to get instant notifications of connecting devices - which can then be used to trigger HomeKit actions like turning on the lights.

Requirements

* Node.js v10 or later
* UniFi Controller v5

Homebridge Config

The easiest way to configure this plugin is via Homebridge Config UI X.

$3

If you're using a non-default site you will need to specify the name of the site in the plugin config. The internal site name might not match the name you have allocated to the site exactly, you can get the required site name by navigating to the site in the unifi controller then looking at the url bar:

`
https://unifi.com:8443/manage/site/mofkpypu/dashboard
`

In this case the site name is mofkpypu` and this is the value that should be entered in your Homebridge config.
