Review: The only *real* LOCAL alternative to SmartThings - I am so impressed with my Hubitat. I've been on Samsung's SmartThings platform for three years and they really don't seem like they care all that much about reliability or retaining customers. My SmartThings hub is a V1 hub which means that it cannot do any processing locally. If I have a z-wave light switch set up on a z-wave motion sensor using a "Smart Lighting" rule: The SmartThings hub sends the motion event to Samsung's servers hundreds of miles away. They process the event and send back a message to my local hub telling it to turn on the light. For this to work there cannot be any issues with your local router, your modem, any issues on your ISPs side nor any issues on the SmartThings server side. I did a traceroute and found there are at least 30 network router hops between me and the SmartThings servers. This leads to very large latencies (delays) between your motion sensor picking up motion and the trigger actually firing something like turning on a light. So Samsung tried to address this in their V2 hub... But they left customers on their V1 hubs stranded. Since the z-wave radio in the SmartThings hub is "built in", if you bought a new SmartThings V2 hub the process to migrate over would require literally excluding every single sensor or switch device one by one, and re-pairing it with the new hub. I contacted Samsung several times to see if they were planning on offering anything to help customer migrate from V1 to V2. The answer was always a resounding "No". So especially for me: Moving from a V1 hub to V2 hub would be just as much effort as migrating from ST to another HA platform. To add insult to injury the more I researched the "local processing" capabilities of the V2 hub the more disappointing I became. Only the simplest of "Smart Lighting" automations would be processed locally, and only on a limited number of "supported" devices. So I figured if migrating from V1 to V2 would be a hassle I might as well be open to migrating to a non-ST platform. I tried out Hass.io and OpenHAB and those platforms were both horrible. I gave each platform a weekend and ended up spending an entire weekend on each platform trying to pair just a couple Z-wave devices, and both platforms failed miserably. In two days neither platform could have even the most basic "If motion detected turn on a switch" capability set up. So then I decided to try Hubitat. Within 30 minutes of unboxing Hubitat I had made more progress in pairing devices and setting up automations than I made with either Hass or OpenHAB in the two days I spent on both. What is especially appealing about Hubitat is the automations (Apps) and Drivers (Device Handlers) in Hubitat are both written in Groovy: The exact same language that SmartThings uses. That means that if you have already invested a lot of time and effort building SmartApps or custom device handlers in SmartThings you can just copy paste that Groovy code over to Hubitat and it should work with only very minor tweaks. I did, in fact, have some very complicated SmartApps to port over so I was a bit worried about how difficult that would be. One of my custom apps was an app I had written that controls the recirculating pump for my water heater. It would monitor motion in the bathroom, monitor DS18B20 temperature sensors installed on the water line, compare that temperature to the ambient temperature in the attic (Where the water heater and hot water lines are run) and compare those temperatures to the temperature of the water in my solar water heater tank (We have solar pre-heater to heat the water before it enters the main tank). It would then run the recirc pump for a determined amount of time or until one of the temperatures reached a certain threshold. Fairly complex stuff (300 lines of Groovy code), and this app only took me about 5 minutes to port over! There have also been a couple older Z-wave devices that weren't "natively" supported by one of Hubitat's built in drivers and I was able to copy the "Device Handler" code from SmartThings and these devices immediately started working. Migrating to new Hubitat Hub's will also not be a future problem: Hubitat allows you to back up your entire Hub configuration to your PC, and the Z-wave stick is removable. So if Hubitat releases a new piece of Hub hardware migrating to it will be as easy as taking a backup, removing your Z-wave/Zigbee stick from the only hub, inserting into the new hub and restoring the backup onto the new hub. Since the devices are associated with the Z-wave/Zigbee radio inside the included USB stick on the Hubitat moving between hubs is a breeze. Overall I am blown away by the ease of migrating from SmartThings, the performance, capability and support I've received so far from Hubitat. If you're using ST or thinking of it and think it's silly that every single event or trigger that happens in your home is sent up to Samsung's servers to be processed: Then Hubitat is the perfect solution.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be setup by a novice with no working knowledge of the smart hub? I dont know much about IO but working to learn**
A: Having set up hubs before I would say no.  It is very difficult to get even simple rules to work.  For instance, you can set up a riles that if a light goes on that you want it shut off immediately but not after 10 minutes.  You can easily make it go back on after a delay if it goes off but not the reverse.  I seen no reason for wanting that but it is what it says.  Fir instance, Lutron Integration.  You have to go you your Lutron Bridge and export a list.  The find what ID number on it corresponds to what remote or switch the manually enter the ID number and description.  The instructions just tell you to export it but not where, etc.  It is really exporting nothing.  It make a text script which the hub cannot import.  You have to print it out and manually enter the information even though they are connected to each other via a local telnet which you must also enable vie the Lutron software.  If you did not follow all this the definitely do not get it because this is just the "easy" part.  Nothing is intuitive, you also have to use "UPDATE" buttons a lot and hitting the done button makes new rules not appear.  You have yo exit to the AppList instead.  Suddenly it was there.  The "done" button only works when modifying existing rules not to create new ones.  You have to create one the exit then you can go back and finish editing it.  You have to add tons of Apps most of which you have no clue about.  I had to add what was described as a developer App to use the mobile software.  Fortunately, after going back to the hub and adding the App.  Never do anything else when adding one.  Create one later.  Juts hit done or ot will not be added.  Then I went to the mobile app which ran.  I followed the prompts and it went into an endless loop trying to find the hub.  I then had to uninstall the mobile App, re-install it, try again using a LAN search option and I was finally connected.  The Apps list on the screen adjust to your phones width but not dashboards so you have to know how to use CSS to make dashboards work.  Does all this sound like how a novice begins to set up a hub.  With Wink 2 I just clicked on things, super easy.  Too bad it is now a subscription service.  They never made a local app.  Hubitat uses a localhost like with a router.  Did you get all this?

**Q: Does this work with Amazon Alexa?**
A: Both Alexa (Listed as Echo under Apps) and Google are built-in Apps.

**Q: Are there apps for ipad, iphone and apple watch?**
A: Note that the app has 3 functions; 1. Access to your dashboards, although you can just as well access them via a browser (Chrome is preferred), 2. Geolocation, so that you can run rules on the hub that take account of your location, and 3. Settings where you can set the hub's location and go-radius, select which hub the app should be linked to, etc.

The only real issues at this time are: there are still some users complaining about the resilience of the geolocation triggers with the app (but this is classically an issue with mobile phones and the intricacies of battery/power saving etc.). I've found it reliable if you disable all battery saving features on the phone. Secondly, the hub/app doesn't manage multiple hubs very well. You have to select which of your hubs to connect the app to for geolocation triggers. That's a bit stupid. It should manage all hub locations seemlessly.

**Q: How many devices will it handle? Is there a page with more detailed specs?**
A: There is no set limit on the number of devices that a Hubitat Elevation hub can handle.  Z-Wave is limited to 232 devices per Z-Wave network; Zigbee requires repeaters to handle more than 32 devices, but systems with more than this are common; Lutron systems have limits on the number of devices per Lutron system, but Hubitat can connect any number of Lutron systems.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Are you tired of Smart Things? Want a SMART HOME?
*by D***H on 7 April 2021*

I adopted the other platform around 2017 (ST). I went nuts and replaced about every switch I could throughout my 3BR home with Z-Wave switches, already had Alexa (love/hate), Z-Wave Lock, Door Sensors, Temp Sensors, Thermostat, Water Leak Sensors, and various Z-Wave outlets. Also had Philips HUE and wanted things to all work like one big happy smart family... I spent weeks and weeks and weeks trying to "get it right", create logic rules that were reliable and easy to manage, as well as to build and troubleshoot. In the end, I really spent more like months trying to tune things just so... I had my wife pretty upset with me for a few years, but tolerant... she'd never use a doubletap nor Alexa to control anything, but she got used to the switches and appreciated the front door unlocking for her as she approached. I finally got fed up trying to "fix stoopid" (I hear that's hard to do). I bought this Hub thinking "what have I got to lose?" All I wanted was something better. What I got is SOOO MUCH BETTER!!! Sure, it's not "easy" if you're not tech minded. You should certainly understand logic rules, basic if-then-else statements, setting local or global variables, etc. The real difference is THIS WORKS with everything, as intended, and it's WAY QUICKER than the old setup (cloud based). In fact, the speed is remarkable... it's milliseconds versus seconds sometimes - that finally starts to feel like you're in a smart home, not a dumb smarthome. I now have every switch neatly programmed and organized as a "button device" and have all the flexibility to easily program anything I want. I have some Homeseer WD-200 Dimmers that work really nicely and can even set the individual LEDs if I want to see that the door is unlocked, or something is awry when I nod off to slumber. When I ask Alexa something, it happens immediately, even with the HUE bulbs - like BAMMM, done! Setting up the rules and variables is not only organized and simple, it's so much better with customized event logging, meaningful features, and tons of flexibility. This is not the setup for someone who isn't willing to set things up and customize the system - it's work to invest time and testing to get things right. However, I was forever frustrated and lost in the ST interface! I couldn't figure out why and when some things worked and others didn't. It made me feel like an idiot for buying all the switch gear in the first place, already confirmed by my wife, haha. Well, nowadays she's double-tapping, triple tapping, and commanding things from Alexa without the endless frustration of the prior hub / tools. I ONLY replaced my ST hub with this hub - if you are invested at all in ST or home automation, then look no further, in my opinion. This is a dream compared to anything else I've seen. Yep, the interface/GUI is a bit clunky and a little easy to get twisted, but you know what? It works, it works reliably, and it's easy to figure out when you do something wrong (which is inevitable with home automation). Why isn't my phone automatically unlocking the door? Whammo, just look at the logs, the rules, and the devices - all captured and easy to figuree out what's wrong and fix it. I'm finally NOT feeling like an idiot with my home automation thanks to Hubitat. Hope you find this helpful.
