Ok app for Hubitat

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

The new sucks!

Every time I try to use the new app, it makes me sad and want to use something else but I don’t have the finances cause I spent my money on all the stuff and anyway there you

Terrible!

Forced to switch from Vera when the controller died. Hubitat is cumbersome not intuitive and the app never works. Hate it.

Pretty Damn Good

This hub is pretty darn good. Haven’t figured out how to set scenes and do some other tricks yet. But damn the pairing is fast and reliable.

Reboot me

I have to unplug and reset the device daily.

iPhone EZ dashboard issue for months that Hubitat won’t acknowledge

In general, I have been loving Hubitat. However, back in May, I noticed that any button in the first column of an iPhone or iPad doesn’t work on their easy dashboard. I reported this and I got one or two little inquiries about how I had it set or what version I was on, but nothing since then. I asked them to acknowledge that this is an issue and they never answer that, and they have not addressed it in all of the fixes since that.

Confusing user interface

Added device and icon is pink. Obviously something is wrong but no clue what or how to resolve.

Many devices not working

Hubitat is great but so many devices not working or stop working anymore but works fine with Alexa

Good, but needs a few things

The Hubitat does a good job at controlling my Z-wave devices. But it needs the following improvements:

1. iPad apps MUST function in landscape mode!
2. The slider for dimmers needs to have more height so that finger placement isn’t so touchy.
3. The process for accessing, assigning, and programming device operation needs to be simplified, intuitive, and easy to understand.

Hubitat C8

Changed over to 3years ago from Wink to C7 and updated to C8. I love my Hubitat it’s easy to use and program

Smart Start Bug?

First, let me say that I think this environment is a pretty good one. I’ve moved over from SmartThings for my new home and for the most part I’m very happy. Not to say there aren’t things that could improve, but that you seem to be able to do all the things that you want to be able to do. The main reason I’m writing this review is that the smart start screen has changed and I don’t see a reference to it in the what’s new. This change has made it so that I can’t scroll through my smart start items when I’m in the view that lets me hit the button to scan the QR code. I have one that is stuck and I need to troubleshoot. I think it is a bad switch, nothing to do with the hubitat.

Crashes Home/Hub

App works as expected except when I navigate to HOME/Hub and it crashes IOS 26.1 and App version 2.1.53 (454)

Crashes - useless

At times the app was helpful. Currently it is a DOA POS. Makes me think about moving on to HA. Dev team has its own agenda and doesn’t seem to care. Downside of HA is it is piecemeal and z-wave is add on.

Steals Your Data

Do not use this app!! They will steal your data and. It let you in.

1 star

This app is very buggy

Works well for it’s purpose

I have and use a Hubitat c8-pro for total automation in my house ( lights, door locks, sensors and alarms)
All works as I planned and programmed using the web page.

I use this app to Monitor ( not program) the status and state of the activity ( with Pushover).
I can turn on/off/lock/unlock any device that my Hubitat is set up to control.
Any where in the USA.
Works Flawlessly.

Thank You.

Update -> Nov 27 2025
Added 5 more devices over the past month. (Dimmers, Temp sensors, motion detectors)
All installed and programmed with No problems// all done via local C8 from web browser on my windows 11 pc//.
All monitored and state changes by this IOS app with no issues // both local and Remote// and by voice with Google Home .
I have updated the C8’s firmware twice ( to the latest) without issues.
// the C8 is hard wired via Rj45 to my Unifi LAN-WAN setup//
About to integrate MATTER.
I am a happy camper so far with my Hubitat C8 utilizing All Z-wave devices.

Don’t like it at all

I had a different hub, which was much easier to use, was more intuitive, and there was actually customer support for it. I’ve reached out to the company three times for support and nothing. Once they sell you the product that’s it. They don’t care and you’re on your own. Basic things like particular dimmers you have to go through programming stuff that is complex and very difficult for the common guy to do. I would highly discourage anyone from buying a Hubitat hub

still stuck in cloud vs local mode

app still stuck in cloud vs. local mode after update. shows local ip in hub details but says its cloud. detects local hub but unable to press claim button. please fix! overall great app, best local automation system out there

Did they even test this?

I find it hard to believe that the makers of this tested it. If it fails something your locked in a screen you can’t escape. Constantly having to restart the app to try and setup my devices. So useless and frustrating.

The concept is good but needs constant maintenance

Needs refining, needs constant maintenance. If this is a local hub to activate commands why does it not always work. It’s a flaw in the c-7 hub because all four at all four locations do the same thing. The c-8 hub has its own set of issues. Life has enough frustrations, Hubitat adds to that frustration. Hubitat was supposed to make life easier. With each update I always hope these issues would be fixed but after 5 years it isn’t going to happen.
I either have to have someone go over to a house I’m not at and repair devices that drop off line. At least when devices drop off line, Hubitat made it easier to re-pair devices that drop off line. Weekly hub reboots seem to help smooth out function abilities.
