Example YAML snippet

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

looks like a null ref in the auth pathway:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/uiprotect/api.py", line 516, in ensure_authenticated
    await self._load_session()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/uiprotect/api.py", line 605, in _load_session
    session_cookie = await self._read_auth_config()
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/uiprotect/api.py", line 627, in _read_auth_config
    session = config.get("sessions", {}).get(session_hash)
              ^^^^^^
UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'config' where it is not associated with a value

@Steven-Burns I was facing this issue myself as well since updating to 2025.5.1. I restarted my HASS box after removal and resetup didnt fix it then walked away to get lunch. When I came back 15 minutes later it was fixed so assuming a restart fixed it if you havent tried that yet (despite the "failure" message during setup!)

Maybe some config in .storage/unifiprotect/ is broken
