About

Unifi Network Rules manages firewall policies, routes and other rules on a Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine from Home Assistant. It talks to the console locally and adds switches for turning rules and configuration items on and off, including firewall policies, port forwarding, traffic routes, static routes, NAT, QoS, device LEDs and WLAN SSIDs. Actions refresh data, back up and restore firewall and traffic rules to a file, enable or disable several rules by name matching, and delete a rule. A device trigger fires when the UniFi configuration changes, whether the change came from Home Assistant or from the UniFi console. Setup happens in the UI with the host, a local admin username and password, a site name, an update interval and an option to verify the SSL certificate.

From the README

UniFi Network Rules is a custom integration for Home Assistant that integrates with your UniFi Dream Machine/Router to both provide and help you create useful interactions and automations for your Home Lab. The goal of this integration is to simplify policy and rule management for real world use cases. I built this because I wanted to unlock the power of my UniFi firewall. From simple things like screen time and game server access controls for my kids, to more advanced like getting notified when a critical rule is changed and automatically backing up your rules. And most importantly, make all of this easy to use and share with anyone in your home or home lab. I hope you find it useful!
