- UniFi Protect households with a connected garage door
- Worth noticing
- The bridge can run alert rules on a NAS, Raspberry Pi, or other Docker-capable machine.
Field notes
The project supports two operating models: a direct connection from the app to a UniFi Protect console, or a Docker-based bridge running on household hardware. The bridge adds background alert rules, an exportable activity log, and Shortcuts support. For users who avoid self-hosting, the site describes an optional alert service that receives event metadata but no console credentials, images, or Protect API key.
