I have the same issue, when integration starts all devices are located correctly, after 5mn (or whatever is set to define that the devices are away) all devices become away

was working well before , in a previous home assistant + unifi app version

[stefanroelofs]

I had the same issue. All devices were shown as 'away'.

I then tried to remove the Unifi integration and add it again and now the setup will not connect anymore:

I run UniFi Network Application 7.4.162

What is your operating environment for the Unifi Network app? Since its working for many other users I'd wager its something in your environment.

[stefanroelofs]

It's running as a container under proxmox 6.4. Installed using UniFi network application installation script by Glenn.

Is this the info you need? Thanks.

Can you share have you tried restarting the container? It seems when users have different types of issues a restart resolves it

[stefanroelofs]

It seems that a restart of the container fixed the issues. Thanks! Unifi integration now installs fine, and also the device tracker for my phone switches from Home to Away. Thanks again.

This seems to be related to #89473

For me, it stopped working a few weeks (months?) back, though I didn't immediately notice. Might have been after a HA update, but the controller remained on the same version. I run the controller in a docker container on the network and updated it in the last couple days. I also tried deleting and re-adding the hub. The devices are found just fine, but the "away" state never changes. Anything else I could try?

[Kane610]

@the01 Have you tried restarting your controller?

If restarting the controller doesn't help you can enable debug logging for the integration and share the log.

[the01]

Yes, restarting was part of the controller update as I'm running in a docker container. Just to be sure I did so again, but no change (afterwards I reloaded the integration to cover all bases and also no improvement) I will check the log later, but is there anything specific to look out for (except for errors obviously)? Is 5 minutes of normal operation enough or better a reload? Last time I had a look there was very detailed information on all the devices on my network, so if I can't spot anything myself, I'm going to want to anonymize it a bit first

[Kane610]

Checking that web socket is set up correctly, that new data is flowing over web socket,.

6 minutes of debug log from start up would be great. If you want to limit exposure you can send me the log over discord or ha forums.

[the01]

Soooo..turns out the issue was time drift on the VM running the controller -.-

When checking the debug log, i validated some of the time stamps in the data and they were ~45min off. I could have sworn I checked this previously, but yeah...

Sorry for the noise and thank you for the help!

[Kane610]

Thanks for validating! Would be nice to be able to catch that time diff in the api somehow.

OP hasn't been active since creating the issue and the other issues have been resolved so closing this.

I think it would be possible to detect via the Date header in the api response (at least I see it in the debug log)
