Unify Protect Activity to NodeRed

Hardware
1

Hi, I have a Unifi Cloud Gateway MAX with an Unifi G5 Bullet Camera.

Within Unifi I can get notifications if a human is recogniced.

My idea is now to turn on a light in the carport, when a human is detected (and not just based on motion).

Is this somehow possible?

Best Regards,
Johannes

I might have found the solution.

Unifi Protect supports Webhooks.

Web hooks certainly the easiest approach. Otherwise, you would need to probably dig into the SNMP data which is very comprehensive typically with the Unifi stuff (which is professional grade equipment after all).

You would think but the udm pro and pro se does not ship with SNMP. I think this is true for all their controllers. Take a look at unpoller, that maybe of some use.

I'm using the Unifi Node which is giving you all the events and alerts.

I just started using this node but it gives you tonnes of information .. a bit overwhelming :wink:

But from the documentation I can see only the network part, not the protect part, isnt it?

As said, I just started with that node as well but as per my understanding it is for the entire Unifi ecosystem, but could be wrong. I have not gone that much into details but it looks like the API is available
