Your Home page is where you will land if you type your hub IP address into your browser

  • NOTE: You must be on the same network as the hub to access it on your local network.
  • It is a good idea to bookmark your hub Home page for quick access.
Hubbitat Elevation Home Page. This includes persistent links in the sidebar on the left for main menu items [A], links to advanced items in the sidebar [B], System messages at the top right of the hub user interface [C], and just to the right of the system messages, there is a kuhbob menu for shortcuts to frequently used item [D]

Main Menu Links (A)

  • Location and Modes - Adjust your location, time zone, temperature scale and setup modes.
  • Devices - Add, view and edit details of your devices.
  • Apps - Load and access apps to build rules, integrate devices and extend functionality.
  • Settings - Adjust Z-Wave and Zigbee settings, update, backup/restore, and safely shut down or reboot your hub.
  • Discover Devices - Put the hub in discovery mode to add new Zigbee and Z-Wave devices.
  • Documentation - brings you here, to helpful documentation for Hubitat Elevation®.

Advanced Links (B)

These links are for advanced users to load and modify groovy code. The event logs can help diagnose issues with custom code and can be helpful troubleshooting when devices and rules are not functioning as expected.

  • Apps Code - Load and edit user-created app code.
  • Drivers Code - Load and edit user-created device driver code.
  • System Events - See the most recent location and hub events.
  • Logs - Open a live log of all hub and device activity. This is also where you can access the buffer of Past Logs.

Common Links

In the upper righthand corner you will see a dialogue balloon for System Messages (C). When there is a red number in that icon, it indicates that there is an issue with your hub cloud connectivity, wireless Zigbee or Z-Wave network, or there is a new platform update available to download and install. We hold a firm belief in customer privacy, and therefore we do not push updates to your hub.

Just to the right of the dialogue balloon (D) is a kabob menu with direct links to Settings, Zigbee Details, Z-Wave Details, Device Discovery and Help
