It uses aiohttp for REST calls and provides WebSocket support for real-time device events, with automatic reconnection and exponential backoff. All API responses and WebSocket events are typed using Pydantic v2 models, making it suitable for Home Assistant integrations and other async applications that need structured, type-safe access to UniFi hardware.\n\nThe package is designed for stateless operation, fitting Home Assistant's DataUpdateCoordinator pattern. It includes a CLI tool (via the `cli` extra) for debugging WebSocket events by capturing raw and parsed message streams to JSON files, useful when troubleshooting integration issues or reporting bugs.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to control UniFi Access hardware from Python. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, uses permissive MIT licensing, and provides well-typed async APIs. It is beta-status software with no known vulnerabilities. Install it if you are building Home Assistant integrations or custom automation around UniFi Access; skip it if you do not have UniFi Access hardware or need synchronous APIs."},"id":"py-unifi-access","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-unifi-access","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-unifi-access.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/py-unifi-access/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"py-unifi-access","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Async Python client for the UniFi Access local API with WebSocket event support"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":76954,"position":14571,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.1"}
