Wifi device keeps flipping between home/unavailable long after being offline.

The problem

I am using UniFi Network integration to track devices connected to Wifi networks. I have a smartphone device (Samsung Galaxy A22), which was connected to guest Wifi network, and then left the house. Even after more than 30 minutes, this device keeps flipping its state between home/unavailable every few seconds.

Unifi clearly and correctly states the device disconnected at 9:53 AM and was offline since. Homeassistant integration is flipping the states. See screenshots:

It seems the flipping of states on the device trackers started happening 2 days ago at 3:21 AM. Almost definitely caused by an automatic upgrade of UniFi firmware.

The reason why the device_tracker was flipping to home instead of away is probably a different issue, likely with the HA integration.

Can confirm the same thing -- mine did the same thing starting immediately after the UniFi Network update to v 7.5.174. Devices are flipping states every 5-30 seconds in the history.

How are you running your UniFi controller?

[janvojt]

I have UDM Pro.

After upgrading homeassistant to 2023.9.0, the state flipping issue disappeared for me. @zaskem can you confirm?

[zaskem]

Yes, I can confirm. This is no longer happening (state flipping) after updating Home Assistant to 2023.9.0

Thank you, I am closing this.
