Unifi Network 8.0.7 breaks PoE port status

[cdalessio]

Looks like Unifi Network 8.0.7 (currently EA) breaks PoE Port status and control. It was still working on 8.0.6. Observations:

• All ports listed as “on” whether they are or not
• Toggle power works on the triggered port, but all other ports now switch to “on” state

Have you checked the debug logs of the integration to see what is reported from unifi?

Test setup: USW-24-POE switch

• port 16 with POE turned off (via port setting in Unifi controller directly) - has an AP connected
• port 12 with POE turned on which I want to disable - has AP connected

Initial observation: Home Assistant (HA) UI shows POE status as on for all ports, including port 16.

Toggle POE mode on the port 12 port via switch set up on HA dashboard Check port status directly in Unifi controller Expected result:

• POE disabled on port 12
• POE disabled on port 16

Observed result:

• POE disabled on port 12
• POE enabled on port 16

This triggers a single put command, which sends poe_mode: auto for 15 of the 16 ports on this switch which support it; it sends poe_mode: off for port 12 (the one I am trying to toggle off) - I am assuming that the JSON blob logged is the data sent.

This results in a 200 response code and the subsequent log showing the following (I'm not totally sure how to read all of this) and the HA interface back to showing all ports as on Looking in port_table response data:

• POE ports with no device connected list poe_good: false
• POE ports with a non-POE device connected list poe_good: false
• port 12 (now showing disabled in Unifi controller) lists poe_good: true
• port 16 (now showing enabled in Unifi controller) lists poe_good: false

Looking in port_overrides response data:

• port 12 has poe_mode: off
• port 16 has poe_mode: auto

This may have been a very bizarre fluke; will have to keep an eye on things as I went through quite a few steps to verify the behavior was consistent before raising the issue including restarting HA, trying different browsers, and rebooting the computer I was using. This morning everything appears to be working exactly as it should. The only thing which changed yesterday was grouping two port-off automations into one (previously 10 min apart) and that particular automation running on schedule. Nothing changed when I manually tested the relevant automations earlier in the day, so this seems to be a "nothing changed" scenario; no updates to any Unifi firmware versions, no (intentional) reboots of any hardware, no updates to anything in HA. I don't see any logs indicating any of the Unifi hardware restarted on its own (some of the newer EA switch firmware seems to be doing that; I'm not using those versions currently). I do have the full debug logs saved I excerpted above. I did not ever see any debug logs loading the initial state.

A couple of months back another thing changed on unifi in what it reported regarding port configuration on a newly added device. The workaround then was to make sure to toggle poe state yourself via unifi interface and then the integration would work. Maybe something similar? As you're trusting stuff you affect the system making it work. I guess we'll see once more upgrade to the new release

closing this as no more issues have been reported.
