Unifi Protect - Face vs Name

[ts1234]

I can't ever find the place where I can ask specifically for a specific app...sorry

I am only on day 2 really...but have Protect set up...but still have a 1000 things to learn.

I am getting log entries in Hubitat...for person detection. The log messages just say "face"

Is there a way to have the specific person IE a name sent to Hubitat. I'm running both the built in and the community devices.

My project has Fingerprint capability... but I have not seen data from my cameras with facial information (they could be too old or such), but if you are using my driver and can send some samples... at the very least I could try to get it to start putting the facial ID (if it is anything like the fingerprint one). Shoot me a message if you want to try it out. If you have questions about it you can always message me, or if it is more general then posting on the thread works:

I could be wrong, but I thought a newer camera with built in AI or an AI Key or AI Port is needed for facial recognition.

I know my G4 Doorbell does not support it natively. Nor do my older G3 Instant cameras.

[ts1234]

That was my understanding too. The AI Turret camera has built in AI. My system sent me a massage to my iPhone that included my name. But all I ever saw in the Hubitat log was "face."

Get back to @snell and I'm sure he'll work with you on trying to get things working.

A basic solution might be to create some web hooks in Alarm Manager. It only triggers on known/unknown/PoI and I don't know if it sends any additional information with the hook.

AI also threw this out when I was searching. I don't know if it is correct, but it at least infers that you might be able to add it to one of the integrations.

Key Endpoints for Face Data

• /api/faces: This endpoint returns a list of all identified face profiles. Each profile includes a name field if the face has been assigned one in the UniFi Protect UI.
• /api/detections: To get the name for a specific event, you query the detections and filter for type: "face". The detection object will contain a faceId, which you can cross-reference with the /api/faces list to find the person's name.

Data Structure Example

When you query a face identity, the JSON response typically includes:

• id: The unique identifier for the face profile.
• name: The string name assigned by the user (e.g., "John Doe"). If unassigned, this may be null or a generic "Unknown" placeholder.
• isPersonOfInterest: A boolean indicating if the person is on the "Watchlist".

You can do this while using my Unifi Integration app along with Snell's Unifi Protect drivers.

The Unifi Integration app creates a webhook on the Hub that Alarm Manager can post a call to. Then you just need to create a alarm in alarm manager to call it.

Here is an example of what you setup in alarm manager

Here is a example of the webhook call to the Unifi integration app

http://192.168.86.35/apps/api/2295/?access_token=xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx&dni=Doorbell F4E2C6719D4C&type=Face&value=Craig

Just replace the dni value with the device is doing the detection an the value with the name of the person.

I have my G4 Doorbell attached to a AI port for the face recognition.

[Release] Unifi Integration Manager

For some time now I have been gradually working on integrating my Unifi environment into my Home Hubitat environment. I am now please to release to everyone my "Unifi Integration Manager" app to help with that purpose. This app is designed to work with @snell's Driver packs for Unifi Protect, Unifi Network, and Unifi Connect devices. The app will install the main parent devices and initialize it with a configuration of your choosing. The driver packs can still function on there own as well. So …

Perfect...THANKS!
I will give this a try soon...awesome

Oh, nice - I don't have any "known" faces so that option doesn't show up for me.
