_(Find the Unifi Controller service widget [here](../services/unifi-controller.md))_

You can display general connectivity status from your Unifi (Network) Controller. When authenticating you will want to use a local account that has at least read privileges.

An optional 'site' parameter can be supplied, if it is not the widget will use the default site for the controller.

!!! hint

    If you enter e.g. incorrect credentials and receive an "API Error", you may need to recreate the container to clear the cache.
