Home Access Center
Dashboard: Home Access
Path: home-access-center
Centralized management interface for Unifi Access users, credentials, and guest schedules.
Summary
The Home Access Center serves as the central administrative hub for managing physical security and entry credentials. Its primary function is to maintain a unified user registry where distinct hardware identifiers—such as Fingerprints and NFC tags—are mapped to specific individuals. This abstraction allows homeowners to easily enroll new keys, assign them to family members or guests, and instantly revoke permissions if a credential is lost or compromised.
In day-to-day use, this dashboard provides granular control over access logic. Administrators can toggle specific access methods on or off per user (e.g., disabling NFC while keeping Fingerprint active) and configure a strict Guest Access Schedule to limit entry to specific days and hours. Real-time audit logs provide immediate feedback on entry attempts, differentiating between successful unlocks, denied attempts due to schedule restrictions, and disabled credentials, ensuring complete visibility into the home's security status.

content: '## UniFi Configuration
1. Create User: Ensure a local user exists in the UniFi Console (e.g., "Guest").
2. Enroll: Go to G4 Doorbell Settings > NFC/Fingerprints > Add New. Scan
your finger or card and assign it to the UniFi user.
3. Test: Scan the credential at the doorbell to verify it is accepted.
---
## Home Assistant Setup
* New Credentials: Wait for the "New NFC ID" notification. Open Home Access
Center and map the new ID to a Home Assistant user to enable permissions.
* Existing Credentials: No action required; the credential will immediately
inherit the user''s existing access rules.
---
### Access Status
* 🟢 Green: Access Granted (Fingerprint AND NFC enabled).
* 🟠 Orange: Partial Access (Fingerprint OR NFC enabled) - "Access still
granted".
* 🔴 Red: Access Denied (Fingerprint AND NFC disabled).
---
### 👤 Guest Access
- Assign user as **Guest** (or any name containing "Guest").
- Guests obey the **Guest Schedule** below.
- Standard users have **24/7 Access** (unless switched OFF).
---
*💡 New IDs appear automatically as "Unknown" when scanned.*
