_(Find the Unifi Controller information widget [here](../info/unifi_controller.md))_

You can display general connectivity status from your Unifi (Network) Controller.

!!! warning

    When authenticating you will want to use a local account that has at least read privileges.

An optional 'site' parameter can be supplied, if it is not the widget will use the default site for the controller.

Allowed fields: `["uptime", "wan", "lan", "lan_users", "lan_devices", "wlan", "wlan_users", "wlan_devices"]` (maximum of four). Fields unsupported by the unifi device will not be shown.

!!! hint

    If you enter e.g. incorrect credentials and receive an "API Error", you may need to recreate the container or restart the service to clear the cache.

```yaml
widget:
  type: unifi
  url: https://unifi.host.or.ip:port
  site: Site Name # optional
  username: user
  password: pass
  key: unifiapikey # required if using API key instead of username/password
```
