Following this. I'm interested to know as well. Mine comes in today

I have the fingerprint we hook working and automation to unlock. But I saw this new stuff yesterday so I wanted to explore it some. But couldn’t get anything back when testing it.

Hmmm…. Someone else said it worked on WiFi and much faster than a webhook.

I deleted the integration and added it back. And now it is logging events for me.

To those that are wondering how to do it:

In HA create a new automation. Click Trigger -> other triggers -> Webhook (all the way at the bottom)
HA will automatically assign a random Webhook ID #. I believe you can change it to whatever you want.
A simple Then Do action send to unlock your smart lock.
Now in Unifi Protect Alarm Manager, create a new alarm.
The Trigger is Activity and check Fingerprint Scan and whatever registered fingerprints you want to use
In Target, include the doorbell
In Action, select Webhook and change Slack Post to Custom Webhook
For Delivery URL, you want to use your IP address where HA is connected to including port number. It should look like this "http://YourHAIPAddress:8123/api/webhook/YourWebhookID"
Still in Action, check the Advanced Settings and the Method is POST

It is easier now… you don’t need to use webhook with the latest HA. Which also means a lot less delay.

They give you an example here to create a notification. Just modify that notification part to allow you unlock your door.

Do you just change the action from notification to unlock?

Would you mind to paste the YAML?

So in the example they give. They have this.

trigger.event.data.new_state.attributes.event_type == 'identified' and
(trigger.event.data.new_state.attributes.ulp_id|default('')) != '' and
trigger.event.data.new_state.attributes.ulp_id in ['ALLOWED_ID1', 'ALLOWED_ID2']
}}

I had to find the Allowed_ID1 and Allowed_ID2 in the developer settings.

thanks

#

how did you find the allowed_id?

loud prism
#

In Developer Tools. Go to States. And for Entity type in Fingerprint. You will look for the Event.

#

The ulp_id will have it which is unique for each person

#

So sign in yourself and you will see your own. Copy and paste that. Maybe to the Secrets!

#

But then everything is local. It HA is just accessing the NVR or Protect application on your network for it

#

They want to expand the ulp in future. To maybe have someone name. But for now it’s this

Thanks

#

Do you have set person detection notifications to the companion app as well by any chance?

loud prism
#

I didn’t. I had fingerprints registered for who I wanted on the doorbell setup. In my case myself and my wife. Placed both ULP ID in the automation.

I have issues with the doorbell motion detection notifications

Hmmm… that is beyond my scope.
