So I bought the plugin yesterday, and it is working well. I am wondering, though, what can I use it for? I don't have the Unifi Doorbell or the Unifi Protect. Any suggestions or use cases anyone can share would be appreciated.

Thanks! I guess you can do whatever you like, but for starters you could monitor your system, monitor your internet connection, get notified when a firmware update is available etc.
I control the LED of my Access Point in the hallway, so I can use it as night lights
I'll leave it up to others what they have come up with!stefxx

Good suggestions and thanks, as otherwise I'll look at the Unifi GUI once every 3 weeks or so, and updates are one of the tasks to look for.
How about individual clients? Are there any useful and practical things there? With a AMZN Ring doorbell, there aren't any hooks that I could see for an event trigger, but that would be nice. Likewise, the AT&T alarm system is closed to automation, but if there were a spike in data use then that could be useful.

Off course I am also using the client tracking, so I know if anyone is home and I can set my devices accordingly!
