Welcome to UniFi Integrations: Alarm Manager | Passpoint | Pro A/V | API

As we work relentlessly to scale our UniFi performance foundation, we also have been focused on an integrations strategy. Today, we are excited to share some early results.
In UniFi Protect, the new Alarm Manager is designed to power integrations within UniFi and beyond. Shortcuts have also expanded to support instant door unlocking overlaid on paired camera streams.
Protect 4.1: community.ui.c...
We are proud to announce Hotspot 2.0 featuring Passpoint for UniFi WiFi - a critical integration for large mobile operators to seamlessly offload 5G network traffic to high-performance WiFi. Learn more: ui.com/passpoint
We are officially throwing our hat into the Pro A/V space, becoming the newest member of the SDVoE Alliance. UniFi switching is also now ready to power demanding Pro A/V deployments with predefined port profiles and low-latency software optimizations.
Network 8.4: community.ui.c...
For a truly converged networking and premium audio experience, we are excited to introduce our latest UniFi application - UniFi Play - featuring a meticulously crafted, insanely powerful amplifier designed to delight even the most discerning audiophiles.
UniFi Play PowerAmp: ui.com/new-int...
In the UniFi Site Manager, we have added the ISP Viewer for powerful uptime and latency analysis. We have also released UniFi API v0.1 in an effort to better integrate UniFi Site Manager with third-party monitoring applications.

Nah, as long as they dont build speakers... its not a real sonos competitor.

​​​@@snoks it definitely appears to be a strong competitor for the Sonos Amps for distributed audio. There are far superior integrated speaker options available than those offered by Sonos.

[@mumblic]

I have to look into the API stuff, because that was big puzzle piece that was missing

[@pealock]

Its pretty good right now. Read only at the moment so really just a nice way to present information such as a dashboard. Could be useful as an “eye in the sky” web app that shows health and status of all of your Unifi sites. Im excited to see what 3rd party integrations spring out of it!

[@weblukegaming]

Now, the networked amp is probably the most significant thing in this video for most people. Is there any chance it can be paired with Unifi Talk to do paging, and what streaming services can be connected along with licensing music for commercial spaces? Also, when is the networked "cast" device to send a screen or video directly from a phone or laptop to an HDMI input?

[@matthewrlynn]

I believe that was the audio control dial on their Pro A/V solution.

[@mvp_kryptonite]

@@matthewrlynnprobably true. I’d still like smart heating Unfi style. Control my radiator’s temperature based on occupancy (could integrate with the ui sense) and General thermostat.

Too bad the UniFi PowerAmp doesnt have Chromecast support. That is always nice to have so that every android phone model is capable of universal streaming to it, rather than being limited to only Spotify on android. Guess these wont be replacing the WiiM Amps in my house anytime soon :(

[@TheChris69er]

Tidal connect would be a big bonus too

[@iamdave84]

I agree that Chromecast support would be amazing. Chromecast Audio got sued out of existence by Sonos didn't they? Do you think Ubiquiti could face similar issues if their product is comparable?

[@LordSaliss]

@@iamdave84 Sonos originally won a small settlement, and then a judge reversed that and threw out Sonos patents as being invalid since they lied about file date, I think that only had to do with controlling wireless speakers anyway, not the actual audio streaming stuff. Chromecast streaming never went away from anything and still ships on lotsa of devices.

[@OctoberPines]

[@kubiedubie]

Does becoming a member of the SDVoe Alliance mean that PTP is now supported, or will be supported in the near future? It would be interesting to get Ubiquiti gear in OT environments, and a lack of PTP support is really holding it back.

[@chrisracer2007]

Can the doorbell play on the speaker system? Plus can the channels it plays be configured as such people who sleep do not get disturbed?

[@fretbuzzly]

My Marantz powering my outdoor speakers and networking with my indoor speakers feels safe. Play is interesting, but the money I'd have to spend to upgrade even my simple setup is beyond ridiculous. I could replace my entire network setup for less. Not to mention the serious streaming service limitations.

[@D8099.]

Please let one of those outside connections be Apple HomeKit secure cameras so your cameras pop up on Apple TV versus opening the app. Also my Apple Watch. Also I bought a bunch of your screens so I’ll have camera views all around the house but I asked unify AI about them and it said cameras are not supported on your smart screens. Hopefully it’s wrong. And what about the alarm mentioned in the email?

[@FE59FE59]

Unifi Play PowerAmp, right on time. I'm curious if the Amp has all the features that Sonos has, because I'm switching if reviewers can convince me and if the price is fair.

[@snoks]

what makes you switch?

[@quadcom]

What makes me switch is two fold; Sonos architectural is crazy expensive and management is screwing the company up. Search for the recent foobars the CEO has done recently, pushing out an app update that was lacking basic features, and causing playback and grouping problems. I've been planning out adding in in-ceiling speakers by hacking Ikea models to drive external speakers. $149 for an Ikea speaker or $700 for a Sonos amp? Which would you prefer?

[@snoks]

@@quadcom Yeah the Sonos App sucked for about a month, but right now its a way better experience to be honest, and its not lackign any features.

[@Mackeroney]

Now can we get access features for residential applications?

[@PatrickJorio]

Very nice, will buy one for sure! Any new on the App?

[@lukenstein86]

Does this mean it has hardware support for IEEE1588 PTP ? If so, what version? Boundary Clock support ?

[@GeorgePrzygoda]

is there a plan to add KNX/IP protocol support to the player ? At least for some basic commands like vol./ next / previous / stop. That would be great to integrate the player into existing KNX home automation systems.

[@JimBowman69]

Thank you Alta for scaring some life into Ubiquiti

[@VARPYGAMER]

Still waiting for a level up on protect/camera. We need patrol as well as multi subject tracking, even with more camera (example one dome for the full view, and a coulle of ptz for facial and cars [remember reolink already has something like this]) as well as a proter plate reading camera, as for rn, g4pro (it's the best u have, full zoom in, work's only during the day, at night it's a bloodbath, and for parking lots or u're new plate recognition dor opener, i mean guys, it's a must.

All in all, the AV industry seems to hate Unifi; we can hope Ubiquiti has tried to listen and make changes for the better.

[@saishowaguu2]

​@@hifiguy77 Of course they groaned, because AV specific protocol were not officially supported yet. This, I believe, will alleviate SOME of the issues, but we'll have to see how these switches perform under high AV traffic loads. I think there might be an issue with buffer sizing still, but we'll see. They might even decide to release a switch specific for AV in the near future.... 🤞

Plus more appliances could be powered by cheaper smaller dc cables, not inefficient ac cable. To me everything Poe is overkill. A light would only have 2 or 4 wire if it is wrgb or adjustable white, all connected to a dim rail cabinet and then to a ubiquiti (knx for instance) controller.
