Fix: UniFi + AT&T Fiber (8311 SFP ONT) 14-Day DHCP Lease Drop [with Home Assistant]

Automated WAN Handshake Verification via Home Assistant & UniFi Alarm Manager

If you are bypassing the AT&T Gateway using an XGSPON SFP stick (WAS-110, Azurespeed, ODI, etc.) running 8311 firmware, you likely encounter a total internet drop exactly every 14 days.

This solution uses UniFi Alarm Manager to force a renewal the moment an outage is detected. It doesn't just "fire and forget"—it reads the UDM logs to verify that the ISP actually sent an ACK (Acknowledgment).
