Add Additional Users

Log into test-portal.hubitat.com and go to my hubs.

click on the hub you want to add a user (the image of the hub, not the link to the hub)

a dialog box will appear. You can add a user to your hub.

NOTE: The user must already be registered on test-portal.hubitat.com.

You can promote users to admin or demote them to guest. Only admins can invite other users, otherwise admin and guest have equal access to login to the mobile app.

First Login

You will be greeted with a quick tutorial regarding the app, which we recommend quickly going through, or you can skip it.

There are 3 main areas of the app.

Dashboards

This defaults to the dashboard menu served up from your hub. You can get back to the menu by pulling down to refresh or tapping the dashboard button again.

Geofencing

When you login for the first time, after the first "geo event" a new mobile app device is created on your hub with the name of your phone. This hub device will be the place where the mobile app will store the present / not present events triggered by the geofence.

You can tap and hold the pin on the map and fine tune your location or use the slider to adjust the fence size.

The mobile only transmits directly to the hub a change event, either Entered or Exited which maps to the present / not present state of the Hub Device. No location / GPS data ever leaves the phone.

Settings

You can edit the name of your device which will override the name of the device on your hub. It is recommended to change the label of the Hub Device which will be used in rules and other apps.

You can switch hubs if you have more than one hub linked to your email.

You can also log out of the app as well.
