SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When investigating what happened at a specific location, events are scattered across separate UniFi products (Network, Protect, Access), forcing you to manually correlate camera motion, door access, and device connections. This Skill unifies those events into a single timeline for a given area and time window.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified Cross-Product Timeline: Calls unifi_location_timeline with an area hint and time range to aggregate events from Network, Protect, and Access.
  • Pattern Detection: Identifies notable patterns such as motion without badge-in, new devices appearing when someone arrives, access denied followed by continued motion, and coinciding device or camera outages.
  • Narrative Reporting: Presents a clear chronological narrative of what happened, in what order, and what is notable.
  • Use Case: Ask "Show me everything that happened at the front entrance in the last hour" to get a correlated security report spanning cameras, door access, and network devices.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to show everything that happened at the front entrance in the last hour using the connected UniFi products.

FAQPage Schema
How do I see all activity at a door or entrance across UniFi products?

Ask for activity at a specific area and time window, such as the front entrance in the last hour. The skill calls unifi_location_timeline with the area hint and time range, then correlates events from Network, Protect, and Access into one narrative.

What suspicious patterns can UniFi cross-product timeline analysis detect?

It detects motion without badge-in, new devices appearing when someone arrives, access denied followed by continued motion, and device or camera outages that coincide. These patterns help spot tailgating, unauthorized presence, and coverage gaps.

Does the security patrol skill work with only one UniFi product connected?

Yes, it works with a single product in local mode, but the timeline is limited to that product's events. At least two of the three UniFi products (Network, Protect, Access) must be connected for meaningful cross-product correlation.

Is relay mode required for UniFi cross-product timelines?

Relay mode is required for the full cross-product timeline spanning Network, Protect, and Access. Without relay mode, the skill operates in local mode and can only report events from the locally connected product.

What time ranges can I query for UniFi location activity?

You provide any natural time window, such as the last hour, overnight, or since 6 PM. The skill passes that range along with the area hint to unifi_location_timeline and interprets the returned unified timeline.
