UniFi Hotspot Manager

UniFi Hotspot Manager as a Custom Component for Home Assistant.

This integration facilitates user-friendly management of guest Wi-Fi vouchers. By integrating with Home Assistant, users can swiftly and easily generate and display personalized access codes. These vouchers can then be shared with guests, granting temporary access to the Wi-Fi network.

Key features of the integration include:

Voucher Creation: Users can effortlessly generate new access codes, with various configuration options such as validity period and available data volume.
Display of Voucher: The last created voucher is presented in the Home Assistant interface. As soon as the voucher has been used, the next one will be displayed.
QR Code Display: The integration enables the display of a QR code for the guest Wi-Fi, facilitating quick connectivity for guests. Optionally, your own logo can be shown in the QR code.
Automation: The integration can be integrated into existing automations and allows, for example, the time-controlled creation of vouchers.
User-Friendliness: The integration is designed to offer an intuitive user experience, utilizing the Home Assistant interface as a central control center for guest Wi-Fi management.

The UniFi Hotspot Manager Integration provides a practical solution for the temporary provision of Wi-Fi access, seamlessly integrating into the Home Assistant environment for intuitive use.

The most UniFi Network Controller by Ubiquiti Networks, inc., e.g. Cloud Key 2, UDM, UDM Pro are supported.
