I have been unable to connect my Home Assistant to my Unified Dream Machine Pro SE router. I have been trying for two months following all the various instructions I've been able to find on line. I have set up a new local user with the proper administrative rights but have never been successful. I am running the latest Unifi OS 4.0.21 (not a bata or early release). My Home Assistant is running on the latest Home Assistant OS. Like many network administrators, I have multiple VLANs set up, one of which is to isolate my IOT devices from more sensitive devices on my Main network.
My Home Assistant device is on my IOT VLAN xxx.xxx.40.x, which is the VLAN that all my IOT devices are on. My unifi protect is on xxx.xxx.30.x, My Unifi Dream Machine Pro SE is on the Main VLAN, xxx.xxx.1.1.
Any ideas why I have never been able to establish a connection?
Will it not work across VLANs?

I finaly got connected. I had to move the HA server from the IoT VLAN to the Main VLAN. I would prefer to keep the HA and all IoT devices on its own VLAN. I still like help to figure out how to do that.

did you open any ports between HA and the unifi dream machine?

No. Would that help it across VLANs?

well that depends on the situation, but if there is somekind of firewall or ACL in place then for sure...
I have like 5 ports open between HA and the unifi protect endpoint...
but I'm not sure if all 5 are still needed...
but 443 is needed for sure...

I have been unable to connect my Home Assistant to my Unified Dream Machine Pro ...
If you followed a guide to setup your vlans, you likely have firewall rules blocking HA from other networks
for what it's worth, I put HA on my wan, and all my iot devices on my iot vlan. I add firewall rules that limit the iot devices to HA only. Seeing that you control HA, there's no reason you shouldn't go that route
lastly, HA is not designed to run on a vlan, your mileage will vary.
