Authentication issue with unifi controller 5.5.9

[nunofgs]

I'm using the unify home assistant component which depends on this library at version 2.0.0.

After updating my unifi controller to the latest beta (5.5.9), I noticed that my home-assistant unify integration stopped working.

Here's the debug output:

Any idea on what the issue may be?

The controller connection is being logged out after a very short period of time without update. Do you have the update rate set in your home assistant configuration?

Good call. I've raised interval_seconds to 30 and my issue went away.

Thanks!
