| − | ===<big>How to Shut Down Your Hub</big>===
| |
| − | <big>Occasionally you may want to move your hub or power it down. It is important to shut it down properly to keep it running smoothly when you power it back up. Here’s how:</big>
| |
| − | | |
| − | #<big>Go to the '''Settings''' page of your hub.</big>
| |
| − | #<big>Select '''Shutdown Hub'''.</big>
| |
| − | #:[[File:Shutdown hub v3.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/0/08/Shutdown_hub_v3.png ]]
| |
| − | #<big>Wait until the LED on your hub turns red. It is now safe to unplug your hub. To restart your hub, simply plug it back in.</big>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===<big>How to Reboot Your Hub</big>===
| |
| − | <big>If your hub is not performing as expected, there's a good chance that a reboot may be required. To reboot properly:</big>
| |
| − | | |
| − | #<big>Go to the '''Settings''' page of your hub.</big>
| |
| − | #<big>Choose '''Reboot Hub'''.</big>
| |
| − | #:[[File:Reboot hub v3.png|none|thumb|600x600px|link=https://docs.hubitat.com/images/e/ea/Reboot_hub_v3.png ]]
| |
| − | #<big>You will be asked to confirm the reboot. The hub will then automatically cycle through its rebooting process. After a few minutes, hit refresh on your browser and you'll be back in business.</big>
| |

| − | ===<big>Backup your hub</big>===
| |
| − | <big>Your Hubitat Elevation hub automatically generates a backup every day at 2:15am by default, in your local time zone. These backups are stored on the hub for '''5 days'''. After making changes to your hub (adding devices, automations, etc.), it is a good idea to save a manual backup to your computer or the cloud.</big>
| |
| − | | |
| − | *<big>'''NOTE:''' You may backup and restore files from a local disk anytime, but manual and automatic backup to the Hubitat cloud, including restore from cloud backup and Z-Wave radio migration requires a [[Hub Protect]] subscription.</big>
| |
| − | | |
| − | #<big>Select '''Settings''' in the sidebar of your hub.</big>
| |
| − | #<big>Press the '''Backup and Restore''' card.</big>[[File:Backup and Restore card 3.0.png|none|thumb|600x600px]]
| |
| − | #<big>Select the '''Download''' button under the '''Create New Backup and Download Manually''' section (you can also download any of the automatic backups that have been stored). The backup will be saved on your computer, which can be uploaded later to restore your hub to a previous state if you desire.</big>[[File:Backup manually and download auto backup.png|none|thumb|600x600px]]
| |
| − | #<big>You may set the time for when database maintenance and backup to take place</big>.[[File:Set local backup time and frequency.png|none|thumb|600x600px]]
| |
| − | #<big>You may also set the frequency for automatic backups.</big>[[File:Local backup frequency options.png|none|thumb|329x329px]]
