Disable PoE

[gcormier]

I'm trying to toggle PoE on a port. There is a PoE splitter on that port, so no actual network device nor MAC address.

My code is below. I'm not clear on how to do this. Am I switching a port between profiles, or am I assign the port to 1 profile, and then modifying the profile?

I do see my unifi portal say "updating" for a minute, and back to ready, but the lightning bolt remains on the port.

$site_id = 'default';
$device_mac = 'f4:92:bf:a6:da:ba';
$port_idx = 4;

 // All : 5627faa4e4b09e0c48d5ee14
 // Disabled / No PoE : 61146f9ca7b11b01299d9ca4
// LightProfile 6155ebd124aa9a01274f3531
$port_conf_id = '6155ebd124aa9a01274f3531';

$unifi_connection   = new UniFi_API\Client($controlleruser, $controllerpassword, $controllerurl, $site_id, $controllerversion, true);
$set_debug_mode     = $unifi_connection->set_debug($debug);
$loginresults       = $unifi_connection->login();
$data               = $unifi_connection->list_devices($device_mac);

$device_id          = $data[0]->device_id;
$existing_overrides = $data[0]->port_overrides;
//var_dump($existing_overrides);
//var_dump($unifi_connection->list_portconf());
foreach ($existing_overrides as $key => $value) {
    if (!empty($value->port_idx) && $value->port_idx === $port_idx) {
        $updated_override = [
            'portconf_id' => $port_conf_id,
            'port_idx'    => $port_idx,
            'poe_mode'    => $value->poe_mode,
            //'poe_mode'    => "Off",
            'name'        => 'Lights',
        ];

        $existing_overrides[$key] = $updated_override;
    }
}

$payload = [
    'port_overrides' => $existing_overrides
];

$update_device = $unifi_connection->set_device_settings_base($device_id, $payload);
//echo('payload');
//var_dump($payload);

echo json_encode($update_device, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Why don’t you take not of the switch’s full device details, then simply toggle the PoE port to off through the controller UI and compare the changes. Specifically have a good look at the port_overrides section.

My guess is you need to change the poe_mode for the port to “off”.

If you’re more into Python that’s a good move. Good luck.
