Once one or more apps are loaded, the Apps Page lists all of your loaded apps (A) and related child apps (B). Press on any app in the App List to edit its settings. To see a list of available apps press either the Add User App (C) or Add Built-In App (D) buttons and select the app. Use the Search bar (E) to find a specific app quickly. For detailed information about the triggers and devices used in the app, as well as the current state of the app, select the gear icon (F) to open up the App Status window similar to the one below. The type of information listed will vary by app.
Disable Apps
Rather than removing an app you suspect may be causing an issue with your hub, you can simply disable it to see if the problem is resolved.
- Select the X at the top right to reveal the Disable check boxes.
- Enabling the checkmark in the box to the left of the app name is a fast and simple way to troubleshoot custom apps you suspect may be affecting the performance or operation of your hub.
- Remove the checkmark from the Disable checkbox to re-enable the app.
- Select the red X to hide the Disable checkboxes from view. NOTE: The disable check boxes will remain visible after a page refresh or when leaving and returning to the Apps page. The X will also remain red when any of the boxes has a checkmark.
