Unifi Controllers with multiple Sites?

[StephenShamakian]

I have configured this plugin using a local account with a cloud hosted Unifi Controller from Hostifi. This controller has multiple sites. So I'm thinking this may be why this plugin isn't seeing the power strip in one of my sites?

Hmm, I have no way to test a remote controller from hostifi to confirm as I have local controllers. Im using the node-unifi library and it doesn't mention support for hostifi.

Hello @derek-miller,

So Hostifi vs. local Unifi controllers is really the same thing. As I am able to connect to my controller fine with this plugin (no errors). I think the problem is if you have multiple sites in your Unifi Controller this plugin fails to find the devices in the various sites.

Looking at node-unifi the example they have in their readme file shows how to load site's then the devices in that site. So I'm pretty sure node-unifi is cable of loading specific sites? Maybe a configuration param to load a specific site or comma delimited list of site IDs then get the devices under that site?

[derek-miller]

Yeah, I just looked at the code. Its only looking at the default site right now. I will add an option for configuring included/excluded sites.

[derek-miller]

Can you upgrade to v1.0.3-beta.0 and see if it works for you?

[StephenShamakian]

That worked! Thank you! I can now see POE devices and the USP-Strip in my network's site! :) I added the "includeSites" parameter to just include my site vs. the others.

[derek-miller]

Awesome. I will give it an official release sometime later today. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

[StephenShamakian]

Are these changes in v1.0.4? I don't see them in the Changelog. Should I hold off upgrading until this is merged into master?

[derek-miller]

The changes landed in the v1.0.3 beta and are included in the v1.0.4 release. I will fix the release notes
