Question
ChristianSogaard 73
Has anyone successfully subscribed to UniFi Protect “true events” (motion / ring / smart detect) directly from Fibaro HC3 using
net.WebSocketClient?What I’ve confirmed so far:
REST Integration API v1 works from HC3
GET /proxy/protect/integration/v1/meta/info→ 200 OKAPI key is valid (
X-API-KEYheader)Protect version: 6.2.72
What fails consistently on HC3:
WebSocket subscribe endpoints:
wss://<host>/proxy/protect/integration/v1/subscribe/eventsws://<host>/proxy/protect/integration/v1/subscribe/eventsErrors:
std::runtime_error: error while creating connectionstd::exception: unable to make castSame endpoints + key work fine from curl / Node / Python.
Conclusion so far:
HC3 WebSocketClient seems unable to handle authenticated WSS (custom headers) required by UniFi Protect.
I cannot find any confirmed success cases without using an external proxy.
Question:
Has anyone managed to receive UniFi Protect events directly on HC3, or is an external webhook/proxy the only viable solution?
