Unifi won't let me reconfigure item in "Failed to set up" state with error "UniFi integration is not set up"

[reedy]

The problem

I originally setup the unifi integration using a non local user, and now enabling 2FA has broken the HA access to it. That's fine, and is completely understandable.

However, when I try and use "Configure" to change/update the credentials in HA, I get an unhelpful error message of "UniFi integration is not set up"

For the other entry (FTC CK) it did let me enter new credentials, and updated fine.

I can presumably delete the existing entry, and re-add it. Or temporarily disable 2FA on the UI side, let the auth reconnect on HA, and then update to a local user...

But I should be able to able to configure entry from the menu for the other device, in the same way as I did for the first one...

I have a previously working integration and now it says my authentication is expired. I alwas log in with my local user

Same here, 2FA activated.
HA 2024.5.4 is complaining

Hello, the configure button is to set the integration options like what entities you want created. The Reauthentication flow would solve this which was introduced to the framework two months ago but is currently not supported by the integration.

What you can do in the mean time is you can manually edit the config entry (make a backup first), by going to .storage/core.config_entries and edit username and password there

How to properly create a local user see https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ubiquiti-unifi-network-add-on-integration/678411/17?u=robban

Cheers, useful hint.

Quick question. Why did HA let me change the username/password for one of them (both using the same original login that had 2FA enabled) using an inbuilt config window?

Thanks, worked for me.

Created a additional local admin on the controller.

Didn't need to manually edit the config files, the HA assistent for reauthentication worked.

Yes the integration can prompt for a reconfiguration, but there is also a new way as a user to manually trigger a reauthentication flow
