About this app

Hubitat Elevation Mobile App is the official mobile app for the Hubitat Elevation Platform.

Existing owners of Hubitat Elevation Hubs can do the following from this mobile app:

- Access Dashboards to control devices, change Hubitat Safety Monitor status or change Modes and more.

- Create a Geofence that will update a "Mobile Presence" device on the hub that will change from "present" to "not present" based on the pin location radius and phone location. This defaults to your hub location but can be dragged to any location.

- Receive Push Notifications from the hub for anything set up in apps using the Push Message methods.

NOTE: This app is not for the administration of the hub, this should be done via the portal or the local IP address of the hub.

We are in the process of rolling out an update to the Hubitat Portal. This upgrade requires migrating to a Hubitat account. To start this process at https://portal.hubitat.com/migrate . Complete the migration process and log in and change your temporary password to a new password on that site and then you will be able to login to the app.

Ratings and reviews

Works OK on Android. Needs a fair amount of work, dashboard customization in the Hubitat app or this is severely lacking - no sizing or auto rotation allowances. That said, glad there's finally an app. Now if I could just get Hubitat to have reliable motion sensing (timeouts) things would be great. I'd like to write a review on the iOS app but since it won't install on a mini, I cannot even comment on it on the apple store. It's a shame really because we use the only apple device in our home, a free mini I won as event schwag, as a dedicated HT/HA remote control.

Always logs me out if it loses internet connectivity. Will not reconfigure its connection if losing wifi, and instead a force close and reopen is required to fix the red exclamation point. All various connectivity-usability issues have existed for years, unfortunately, and are not new. Other apps do not grind to a halt, and instead gracefully can switch connections. The app will not work without internet connectivity, it seems, and won't run locally, which is counterintuitive to the product.

My pixel now says that I am present even when I'm not there. This appears to have happened in early January 2022 when many others have pointed out that geofencing stopped working with the release of a new version. This bug needs to get fixed ASAP, if the developers can't fix these within a few days then the whole Hubitat platform is no longer worth using or buying.
