I have looked the forum over and if this is already discussed I missed it and I apologize. I am looking at purchasing the Unifi Protect Floodlight and installing it on my building. I am currently using the native Unifi Protect Integration to bring my cameras into Hubitat to trigger lights and other actions based off a person being detected.
Will the native Unifi Protect Integration recognize the floodlight and expose it as a switch or some type of device where it can be integrated into rules and triggered on and off by other devices in Hubitat?
No, the integration currently only gets motion and Smart Detection events from cameras.
That being said, it looks like this might be possible over the API (more or less -- I see an option to set the light to "always," "with motion," or "off") -- apparently one of few other things the official API is capable of doing. So, this might actually be possible. 
I was hoping the integration would bring the light in as a switch where I could just control on or off. I will look into the API.
Curious what you like about that flood.
I meant that the integration already uses the API and this could be added, if a glance at the docs is correct; it just isn't there right now. Debug logging on the Protect console/NVR driver could events coming in if you change the settings in the mobile app, most likely, and won't help with outbound commands but could be useful nonetheless (as the formats are similar). This could possibly be done by staff with this data without a device in hand, beyond a blind following of what the docs claim.
I just looked on eBay and they are mysteriously going (or I'd really hope not?) for more used than for new from Ubiquity -- figured that might be a cheap way to try myself, but apparently just buying new would be better. Also, seems to have mixed to negative reviews, beyond being an old product. 
(If you don't already have one, I'd take this into consideration.)
I don't have one yet. I was just looking into them. You can't afford them anywhere but Unifi 's website then for what they are they are expensive.
I don't have one. What caught my eye was POE and the small form factor would work best in my area.
Bert you wouldn't happen to know if the Unifi integration in HA does the light do you then maybe it could be brought back to HE by the HADB. I use HA for niche stuff like that but with the addition of the Homekit Integration and the official Protect integration that list is dwindling. Lol
No idea, but considering they've used a reverse-engineered integration before recently migrating what they can to the documented API, I'd be more surprised if it didn't. But a search of their forums or docs would probbly reveal more. (There is also at least one community integration for Hubitat that might as well, but I'm also not familiar with details.)
