Drivers Code
Hubitat Elevation continues to add to its list of included drivers. However, The generous Hubitat community continues to create drivers for devices we haven't integrated yet. When you find one you want for your device you will need to install it on your system. This is how it is done:
- The developer of the app will normally post a link to their app code. Follow their directions to get to the source code. #Select and copy the source code.
- From your Hubitat Elevation Web Interface, click on Drivers Code in the menu bar.
- Click on the +New Driver button in the upper right corner.
- In the blank text field, simply paste the driver code.
- Click on the Save button in the top right of the page. When the "modified" goes away, your app is saved.
Note: You may experience an error in this step. If you do, your driver will not save and it will not work. Please contact the developer of the driver in the forum. It is usually best if you take a screen shot to help them diagnose the problem. Once the code is fixed, come back and try again.
Loading Your User Developed Driver
Once your driver has successfully saved, you will need to update your device(s) with the new driver.
- From the home page of the Hubitat Elevation Web Interface click on the Devices link.
- Select the device for which you want to add a new driver.
This opens your Device Settings view. Scroll down to find the Type field. The name of a driver will be listed there. #Click on the drop down menu and then select your new device driver that you want to install.
- Click on the Save button to the left of your screen.
Your driver is now installed and being used by that device.
