<big>The Hubitat Diagnostic Tool is a built-in application of every Hubitat Elevation hub, which runs independently of the main platform and provides owners with helpful tools to restore the hub platform, set the date and time, reboot, safely shutdown, temporarily disable apps, drivers or devices that may be causing issues, or to reset the hub. While several of these functions are accessible through the hub user interface, they are duplicated here in situations where accessing the hub user interface isn't possible.</big>

===<big>Shutdown Hub</big>===
 
<big>If the Hubitat Web Interface is unresponsive, you can try shutting down your hub from the diagnostic tool.</big>
 
 
 
<big>'''IMPORTANT''': Make sure the light on the front of your hub is <span style="color: red;;">'''Red'''</span>, and then unplug your hub from its power source for a '''minimum of 30 seconds''' before plugging it back in.

===<big>Safe Mode</big>===
 
<big>If you find yourself in the situation where an app such as a Rule Machine rule has been mistakenly built in a way that creates a loop and cannot be deleted from the Hubitat Web Interface, the hub may be restarted into Safe Mode. This disables User and Built-In apps and devices, the scheduler is halted, the listener for LAN messages is stopped, connection to the Hubitat cloud is disabled, the UPnP listener is halted, and all Zigbee and Z-Wave devices are disabled.</big>

===<big>Soft Reset</big>===
 
<big>A soft reset will remove the main hub's database, allowing users to restore a previous backup. This process does not reset the Zigbee or Z-Wave radios. You could restore a backup after performing a soft reset, so you can continue to control your existing devices. See the '''[[Soft Reset]]''' documentation for more detail.</big>
