Home Assist​

Enhanced network control and automation​

Custom Wi-Fi controls: 

Automate your HOME  (e.g., a "kids' network") based on schedules, a powerful feature for managing screen time. 

Network-based event triggers: 

Use events like motion detection from a UniFi Protect camera to trigger automations in Home Assistant, such as turning on outdoor lights when motion is detected at night. 

Create advanced automations: 

Combine data from both systems to create complex rules. For example, use network presence detection to know when someone is home to trigger different scenes, or use UniFi's data to inform Home Assistant automations. 

​​

Improved Security​

Network segmentation: 

Create separate Wi-Fi networks (e.g., guest, IoT, kids) and use Home Assistant to control access or enforce rules on them, isolating them from your main network. 

Centralized security: 

Manage network access rules and security settings through Home Assistant, which can trigger actions like blocking specific devices or clients from the network​​
