Leave a Review Hubitat Elevation
Shamefully buggy
Even with the latest update v2.0.1 it refuses to update the Home Screen automatically, only way to get it to refresh is to force quit the app then load it. Stop releasing beta app!Mr. O 🐢

Crash!
Crash! Crash! Crash!
And is there any response on the Hubitat support community? Nope.UDCurmudgeon
Ok, now what?
I love my Hubitat Elevation. This is an app review.
The app works for me on my iPhone and 5yr old hub. Not sure why it was needed. Design is not great and I have no clue why there are links to social media apps embedded in the app but what do I know? The combination of refreshed graphics alongside embedded and aged xml pages is jarring.Show lesstithdhshd
Dashboard fails to load
Can’t seem to figure out why the dashboard will not load back to the default view. If I enter a grouping/room there is absolutely no way to return to the starting screen. The original app had no issues with this. All you have to press was the dashboard button again.
Gotta love it… let’s make a new app that has to be used by the end of month and improve nothing, but instead make things even worse. Good job Habitat.Show lessRecon_18
Crashes on startup
Can’t really give it a better review as the app simply doesn’t start at all. It opened once, asked me to select my hub/ login etc, and then crashed and now won’t open at allShew1982
New app not working
Surprised to see new app launched that has disabled the old one. New app sees my two hubs but continues to crash. Currently nothing working. Hope this gets resolved quicklyGoodcdnboy
Horrible
App crashes constantly. Terrible rollout for the replacement app. Support isn’t great either.re4merz
Crashes on launch
When it does launch, it never locates the hub.Pheebot
Finally! Geofencing actually works now!
For years, the old Hubitat app had poor geofencing capabilities. Sometimes it worked, other times not. And about every other day, one had to kill the app and launch it again for it to update your location. The workaround was to sign up for Life360, install the app on your Hubitat hub, and use it for your automations. Well, that worked well until Life360 blocked access to their API, breaking this functionality for Hubitat. Users were left looking for workarounds, such as setting a trigger when a mobile device connects to the home WiFi (where the device receives a consistent IP address from the DHCP server on the router). All of these methods had drawbacks and were messy to implement and maintain.
Last evening, when I launched the old Hubitat iOS app, I was notified about the new iOS app. So, I installed it and gave it a try. First, enabling geofencing in the new iOS app is much straightforward than it was on the old app. No having to configure extraneous options, like updating the location when the iPhone connects to a different network or motion is detected. You literally just enable geofencing and set your geofence boundary and that’s it. Next was the most important part, testing that geofencing actually works reliably in the new app. I am very pleased to announce that it not only works, but it more accurate and reliable than the old iOS app! A huge improvement! Finally, I can set up location-based automation and trust that they will work as intended.
Thank you developers for the much improved app!
PS: I see that some reviewers are complaining about the new iOS app crashing. So far, this has not happened to me. I am running an iPhone 14 Plus. So far, the new app has been stable for me.Show lessCmassey84
