When two Hubitat Elevation™ hubs run on the same local network, it is possible to view and control devices on one hub to the other. This is accomplished with the built-in app called Hub Link is installed on the Master hub. Hub Link can also be used to link devices on a SmartThings hub to Hubitat Elevation™. Here's how to get started:

Installing Hub Link

Configuring Hub Link

  1. Enter the IP address of the Remote hub in the Hub Link settings. The Remote hub is the one with the devices you want access from your Master hub. This might be a device you have running on your SmartThings hub, or devices you have on another Hubitat Elevation™ hub. To access devices connected another Hubitat Elevation™ hub, you will need to install Link to Hub.

NOTE: It is possible to have more than one Hubitat Elevation™ Remote hub connected via Hub Link, along with a SmartThings hub, all operating at the same time. The IP address for each Hubitat Elevation™ or SmartThings Remote hub will be shown in Hub Link as Current linked hub IPs. See the Link to Hub documentation for details on how to install and configure Hubitat Elevation™ to act as a Remote hub.
