[unifi] OH 2.5 Binding broken for UniFi OS

[TilmanGuenther]

UPDATE:

The problem is that UniFi OS changed how auth works, and this issue has already been fixed in 3+ releases. Someone would need to back-port a patch for OH 2.5

After my local Unifi Network was updated to version 6+, the binding no longer connects to the controller. In the UI, this shows as OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION_ERROR

Expected Behavior

The bridge should connect to the UniFi software

Current Behavior

Attempted to change thing port to 443 in bridge Thing config, only result in this log error:

Unhandled exception while refreshing the UniFi Controller unifi:controller:a2bc7a83 - com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 2 column 12 path $

Steps to Reproduce (for Bugs)

1. Update UniFi software to 6+
2. Attempt to connect to a UniFi controller

Context

Without connection to the bridge, the entire binding is effectively non-functional.

Your Environment

• Openhab 2.5.10
• UniFi Software Version 6.0.44

Alright, I've narrowed down the problem somewhat, specifically, I downgraded my UniFi version to 5.14.23 again, but it still doesn't work. Now I think the problem is the update on the cloud key has moved the access IP from 192.168.1.xxx:8443 to 192.168.1.xxx/network.

This is probably the fix that is missing: #10041

Is this an issue with 2.5 only? In which case this issue can be closed as there is no support for 2.5 issues here.

[TilmanGuenther]

@Hilbrand As far as I know, yes, although I ended up manually fixing it here: https://community.openhab.org/t/ubiquiti-unifi-binding-feature-discussion/14520/1179

The fix is simple enough that anyone who has the dev environment setup and can use git properly (I can't) should be able to fix it.

As there is support for Unifi OS since version 3.1.0 of the binding i mark this as resolved. 2.5 is no longer supported.
