Homebridge Unifi Guest Wifi

This plugin gives you an on/off switch for your Unifi Guest Wifi.

Please note that when you turn a wifi network on or off in Unifi, it causes your APs to restart with the new settings. This means you will loose all your wifi networks for a few seconds, unless you have your Guest Network on it's own seporate AP.

Prerequisite

Make a local account for just this plugin on your Unifi Controller.

Example Config

{
  "platform" : "UnifyGuestWifiPlatform",
  "name" : "Guest Wifi Controller",
  "controller": {
      "username": "[your-guest-wifi-admin]", // your unifi controller username
      "password": "[your-strong-guest-wifi-admin-password]", //your unifi controller password
      "address": "192.168.1.1", // address to your unifi controller

      // Optionals with default values
      "port": 443, // port of your unifi controller
      "sslVerify": false // verify SSL cert
      "updateInterval": 60 // guest wifi update interval in seconds
  }
}

Notes

This project is an updated version of homebridge-unifi-guest-wlan-switch with the dependancies fixed to allow it to work on the current versions of the Unifi Controller and HomeBridge.

Due to the different way version 2 of Node-Unifi handles multiple sites, support for them has been removed and you will instead need a HomeBridge for each seporate site. Say hi if your the one person this change is going to effect, I would love to know what your use case is.

This code is far from great but it does seem to basically now work, maybe one day I will tidy it up some more and remove the need for it to relogin everytime it polls the controller, or perhaps some nice person will make a PR to fix that. In the meantime enjoy using at your own risk, I didn't write this code and take no responsibilty for it. There is no support, if you find a bug then you are welcome to submit a PR with a fix.
