When two Hubitat Elevation® hubs run on the same local network, you can seamlessly share and use devices in automations between two or more hubs with Hub Mesh. Using the simple share and link setup, all participating Hubitat Elevation® hubs are able to effortlessly control and stay in sync with local devices.

Configuring Hubitat® Hub Mesh

  1. From the Hubitat Web Interface select Devices and press the Hub Mesh button.

  5. You may also add a single device to Hub Mesh by simply turning on the Hub Mesh Enabled option in the settings of the device you wish to share with other Hubitat Elevation® hubs.
    • NOTE: To link to the shared device, you will use the Link to remote devices drop-down list on the hub where you want the linked device to be available as described above in Step 3.

  7. Devices which were linked to other hubs will not be deleted when they are removed or unavailable to Hub Mesh, but will instead switch to a Disabled state. If you add them to the mesh again or the hub which was sharing the comes online again, the linked devices will be automatically re-enabled.
    • NOTE: If you no longer want a Hub Mesh Linked Device in your device list, it must be manually removed.
