For changing your browser tool, just add is this line: $_SESSION['unificookie'] = $unifidata->getcookie(); ... directly when $unifidata->login() was successful

Here some pictures for seesing the difference:

Thank you for the very nice library. I am writing some small HotSpot system with it... when everything is ready, it will also released @ Github...

Thanks for this. I had already implemented something similar in a couple of projects. I haven't spent time checking what the expiry time is for the UniFi cookies though. Have you been able to confirm this?

The time seems to be about 2-5 minutes... but I don't really now it currently. When I have figured out the time @ some time, I will put that info to you ;)

Also, the session thing is nothing special, but maybe some others find it useful, so I created this request.

Cool, thanks for integrating the patch... and also thanks for fixing my comment styling :-)

The UniFi cookie timeout seems to be ~15 minutes.

Thanks for your contribution! Re the comments: there's no good or bad way of doing that, I just have an obsession for consistency:smile:
