* Any UniFi "Dream" device (**UDMPRO**, **UDR**, or **UDMSE**), _except the base UniFi Dream Machine/UDM_
* UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus (**UCKP**) firmware version v2.0.24+

### Software Support
The absolute **minimal** software version is `1.20.0` for UniFi Protect. If you have an older version, you will get errors trying to set up the integration. However, the general advice is the latest 2 minor versions of UniFi Protect and hardware supported by those are supported.

#### About UniFi Early Access
Since UniFi Protect has its own release cycle, Early Access versions of UniFi Protect are used to ensure compatibility with Home Assistant. As a result, Early Access releases **not supported by Home Assistant**. Using an Early Access release may cause your UniFi Protect integration to break unexpectedly.

**If you want your UniFi Protect integration to be stable, do not use Early Access versions of UniFi Protect**.
**Early Access releases are not supported by Home Assistant.**
Using Early Access versions will likely cause your UniFi Protect integration to break unexpectedly.

#### Downgrading UniFi Protect
In the event you accidentally upgrade to an Early Access version of UniFi Protect and it breaks your UniFi Protect Home Assistant integration, you can access your <a href="https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/204909374#h_01F8G1NSFWE9GWXMT977VQEP8V" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UniFi OS Console via SSH</a> and then do the following:
In the event you accidentally upgrade to an Early Access version of UniFi Protect you can downgrade to a stable version by either [restoring a backup](https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008976393-UniFi-Backups-and-Migration) or by manually downgrading your UniFi Protect.
##### Manually Downgrade
Manually downgrading comes with its own risks and it is not recommended unless you do not have a backup available. Some Protect versions cannot be downgraded from (like `v2.0` to `v1.21`). To downgrade, you can access your [UniFi OS Console via SSH](https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/204909374#h_01F8G1NSFWE9GWXMT977VQEP8V) and then do the following:
```bash
# run this command first _only_ if you are on a 1.x firmware of the UDM Pro

You can replace `2.0.0-beta.5` with whatever version of UniFi Protect you want to downgrade to.
You can replace `2.0.0~beta.5` with whatever version of UniFi Protect you want to downgrade to. Any dashes in the version (`-`), replace with tilde (`~`).
**Note**: if you want to downgrade to another Early Access version, you must have <a href="https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012240067-UniFi-How-to-enable-remote-access" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Remote Access enabled</a> and have the Early Access release channel enabled.
<div class='note'>
#### Using Early Access Releases
If you want to downgrade to another Early Access version, you must have [Remote Access enabled](https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012240067-UniFi-How-to-enable-remote-access) and have the Early Access release channel enabled.
If you have chosen to ignore all of the warnings about Early Access, here are some rules/tips to follow when using Early Access releases.
* Report issues [upstream](https://github.com/AngellusMortis/pyunifiprotect/issues/) rather to Home Assistant Core
* Disable automatic updates for UniFi Protect
* Only update UniFi Protect _after_ the next Home Assistant update comes out
This should provide a semi-stable experience for using Early Access versions for UniFi Protect.
