That item should be a Switch not a Contact 
Edit: Please see the latest README
Thanks, Matthew, that did it!
I figured it out!
For all of you stuck on 2.4, you can run the latest binding code (minus the 2.5 specific “trust” bits) by installing build #10 of the 2.4 specific branch.
openhab> bundle:list | grep -i unifi
235 | Active | 80 | 2.5.0.201904201456 | UniFi Binding
Don’t worry that the file name and binding version contain 2.5.0 - I’ve successfully tested this in a clean instance of 2.4.

Hey Matthew,
I get this error on 2.4 on syno with build #10:
2019-04-21 09:22:10.842 [WARN ] [org.apache.felix.fileinstall ] - Error while starting bundle: file:/volume1/public/openHAB/addons/org.openhab.binding.unifi-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

I seem to recall that this means there’s already a binding installed. Are you certain you uninstalled the one that was running? You can confirm if there’s already one installed by running this in the console.
list -s | grep unifi
Ok guys so I did a little reorganization on the commit history to help make maintaining two branches easier.
Now I have two builds setup in Jenkins:
openhab2-unifi-binding - compatible with 2.4.0+
openhab2-unifi-binding-2.5 - compatible with 2.5.0.M1+
The 2.5 branch uses the OH2 internal HttpClientFactory and ExtensibleTrustManager to communicate with the UniFi controller. @Kai requested this some time ago and this will be the default after 2.5 is released.
Moving forward, I will work on the 2.4 branch and do a rebase of the 2.5 branch each time I push a new build (effectively creating two builds for each commit).
Additionally, I force incremented the build number on the 2.5 build in Jenkins so the build numbers are synchronized.
Take the last build #102 for example:
2.4.0+ (openhab2-unifi-binding in Jenkins)
org.openhab.binding.unifi-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
2.5.0.M1+ (openhab2-unifi-binding-2.5 in Jenkins)
org.openhab.binding.unifi-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
If you’re running 2.5.0.M1+, please use the 2.5 specific version to help discover any potential issues with using the OH2 internal bits for communication.
Cheers!

Thanks Matthew!
Can the binding also handle/display the wired UnifiDevices? the Unifi Switches?
I tried to put them under wiredClient, and they do not show up
Unfortunately not yet. It’s a “device” and not a “client” as far as the controller is concerned. I’m about to setup my new UniFi network at home and will be adding support for switches soon!

Is there a way to detect current and “available” firmware versions? I have just logged in into my unifi web page and got the notification there that the cloud key has minor updates to its firmware.
If we have this information, I could integrate that into the nightly “please update systems X, Y and Z” notification that I send from my openHAB instance…
Hi Matt
Does your binding work on a USG Pro 4?
Cheers

Hi, I found this binding and want to use it to block and unblock clients.
But It is not working I only see the blocked and reconnect via the openhab android app
and in the log I see:
2019-04-14 21:49:10.688 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item ‘MatthewsPhoneBlocked’ received command ON
2019-04-14 21:49:10.691 [nt.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - MatthewsPhoneBlocked predicted to become NULL
Unifi controller is version 5.10.20
Hi Nick! Welcome to the community!
What version of the binding are you running?
I think it was the last version because I installed it just now
Hi Matt
Ive been using your binding with great success but i believe its quite old now
191 x Active x 80 x 2.3.0.201804122004 x UniFi Binding
My only complain is the Iphones take ages to display online or offline, the Android is fast so I guess its not a binding issue but more a phone issue. Has recent changes to the binding improved this by any chance?
Thanks! And great work!
I’m having the same issue : cannot block clients and status is not seen in Habpanel
OH 2.4 with binding which is available through paper UI
Unifi Controller 5.10.24-11676-1
How can I debug? 
Which binding version do I have to use for OH 2.3?
I tried 2.5 latest snapshot, in Paper UI I can see my “site” and a configured device as “online”:
But all items do not have any values.
Thanks & regards
John
WiFi Experience,
Has anybody wrote a rule to do a “reconnect” on devices that have a low Wifi experience on the network?
I’d like to do this maybe at night when there is a client struggling based on their value being below 40%.
Thoughts?
Best, Jay
here same issue, i’m able to connect to the controller create a Things (smartphone connected on the wifi) but in the channels i do not have the blocked / reconnect channel.
any advice in troubleshooting this?
Can the current UNIFI Binding capture device mac addresses for unknown devices? After my 2nd porch theft this week, I am wondering if I can leverage my UNIFI controller to capture strangers cell phone mac addresses when they are in range of my UNIFI WAP? This way the next time a theft happens, I can correlate the theft with my home security camera + front porch motion sensor + Openhab to send me a notification a photo, date/time and a MAC address…
I am in the progress of learning OpenHAB and have been watching tutorial videos for OpenHAB all this weekend.
I am working on setting up my UNIFI controller and OpenHAB to detect home presence of my wife and I, but this is when we are connecting to a secured network. I suppose I would need to create an OPEN wifi SSID with no routes to anywhere to get a mobile device to attempt to connect and therefore capture the MAC.
Would the UNIFI Binding be capable of doing this?
Not unless they try to log onto the Wi-Fi.
What would/could you work on for your is this.
You’d monitor for new devices, log that to m1tt and based on that, OH/other could start recording
Think it should work
