Vera to Hubitat
Used Vera Edge for many years and when I changed to Hubitat it was like going from a Model T to a Ferrari, zoom zoom!!!
A little harder to set up
Harder to setup than SmartThings and Aeotec but became interested in non cloud based when my Goggle Fiber cable was cut and most if not all smart devices become useless. My hope is that 3 starts will become a 5 with more experience.
High hopes but dashed expectations
I wasn’t ready to complain but you popped up the ‘Review’ window, so here I am with grand plans but no real progress and VERY frustrated…. I can’t believe there isnt a BASIC dashboard with a few WORKING items for novices, to start us off? Why do many tiles default to ‘unknown’? And where are basic settings? Eg my Weather tile is still in ºF. The only device Ive managed to connect — the Zigbee double power point — shows as Unknown. Hopeless default. Why not default power switches to On/Off? My Presence tile turns red when my phone is in Airplane mode and green when Im home. Not perfect but OK… but how do I SAY something intelligent on the tile? When I add my wife’s phone I’ll just have two coloured tiles, no useful default text? I expected to have the cameras, the HWS and some room temperatures up by now. There is SO MUCH Id like to do but as a novice, dont know where to start. And I’d like more obvious defaults for each tile type. Presumably I can edit this review when Ive made more progress… Lets hope so…

Works great for my C8+
Almost 2 years ago I replaced my Vera ZWave hub with the Hubitat C8 + .
So much more powerful and easy to set up several automations. All my older ZWave devices and a lot of newer devices work with out a problem . The hub is rj45’d to the LAN.
Positioned in the center of the first floor of a three story single family home.
This app is for status and state change both locally and on the road.
All setup and programming is ( and has to) by PC to the hub’s internal web site.
All in my house.
No cloud control- all local and remote control is tunneled into the house. No monthly fees.
Works flawlessly for me.
PS: - works great with Google Home .
Updates are on a quasi monthly basis.
Very pleased :-)

Ok app for Hubitat
The app is increasingly solid. It’s quite functional, and the worst launching problems have been fixed.
