Hi, i'm currently running mikrotik hotspot + unifi AP.
I'm using unifi AP + home asssitant to trigger several automations based a number of active hotspot clients.

The issue that i'm facing is that unifi AP also lists clients that aren't authenticated in their active clients list. E.g :
User A, B, C
User A and B logged in and authenticated.,
User C only connects to wifi but not authenticated.
The Unifi integration in home assistant would count this as 3 active clients.
And this false positive messes up the automations.

So i was wondering if with scripting we could somehow drop the user C from the list after the predetermined time has passed with above scenario?
Mikrotik couldn't do this.. not even with login timeout option.

Ok after digging deeper, apparently i need to query "A" flagged clients on ip > hotspot > hosts
Question is,
is this even possible from API standpoint to query single flag on a multi flagged client?
e.g an authorized client would be flagged as H&A since they are also DHCP.
what would be the API syntax for this? Cant find anything about this in the docs.

I am not an expert in Scripting but with
you get a list of all authorized and with [
of all not authorized hosts.

I am not an expert in Scripting but with

Code: Select all

[/ ip hotspot host print where authorized 

you get a list of all authorized and with

Code: Select all

[ /ip hotspot host print where !(authorized )

[
of all not authorized hosts.

Thanks, a step to the right direction at least.
I forgot to mention, instead of dropping the illegal client, i'm gonna query for the number authorized client instead for a cleaner approach.
I'm gonna be using python API, so any idea the API equivalent for this CLI code?
Also, i've tried
but it doesn't work, what if i want to count it instead?
