Plugin

What it does

Exposes the UniFi Protect Alarm Hub to HomeKit via the official UniFi Protect
Integration API: a SecuritySystem tile for arm/disarm (Away/Night/Off) plus
read-only status for all connected intrusion zones (contact, motion, glass-break),
the hub's battery/tamper/reachability, outputs, and the emergency input.

Why it isn't a duplicate

The verified homebridge-unifi-protect covers cameras/doorbells/lights — not the
Alarm Hub's security system or intrusion sensors. Arming is non-trivial here because
adopting an Alarm Hub forces UniFi's Global Alarm Manager mode, in which arm/disarm
isn't exposed by the standard API; this plugin drives it via Alarm Manager webhooks.

Requirements checklist

The plugin does not offer the same nor less functionality than that of any existing verified plugin.

🟠 No (please explain in the more information box at the end)

The plugin successfully installs and does not start unless it is configured.

The plugin does not require the user to run Homebridge in a TTY or with non-standard startup parameters, even for initial configuration.

🟢 Yes

The plugin does not contain any analytics or calls that enable you to track the user.

🟢 Yes

If the plugin needs to write files to disk (cache, keys, etc.), it stores them inside the Homebridge storage directory.

🟢 Yes

@actravis

Hi @actravis, thanks for the really clear write-up — the explanation of how the Alarm Hub forces Global Alarm Manager mode made the review easy, and the code was clean throughout (nice touch scoping the self-signed cert handling to just the console host). Filling the UniFi Protect security-system gap is genuinely useful. Thanks for contributing to Homebridge! 😊
