CONTROL4 UNIFI PROTECT: Trigger Custom Webhooks

CONTROL4 UNIFI PROTECT: Trigger Custom Webhooks

The Unifi protect application allows Custom webhooks to be created which Control4 can trigger. This provides a deeper level of integration with Unifi for less common commands or command flows. Custom Webhooks can be used for commands such as:

  1. Unlocking Doors
  2. Custom events
  3. Triggering lights
  4. Playing sounds

Setup 

In the UniFi Protect web interface, navigate to the Alarm Manager button


Select Create Alarm. Set Webhook as the trigger type, set the action for the webhook, and record the Trigger ID
Create Webhook

In Control4, in the Chowmain UniFi Protect Controller Driver, either use the Trigger Alarm Webhook Action, or command, and set the Trigger ID to the ID created in the UniFi Protect application
