Hubitat Elevation Platform update 2.2.9 is now available:

Note: This release includes enhanced security measures that disable insecure access to the hub from outside local network using port forwarding or similar means. No IOT device is meant to be accessed publicly, and our hub is no exception. Use Hubitat Remote Admin, a private VPN, or other secure means of access instead.

Please note, the process takes about a minute to download (depending on your Internet connection) and extract the hub update, and 1-2 minutes to perform the update after you click 'Update Hub'. We recommend that you periodically download a backup of your setup from the Settings page, Backup and Restore.

New Apps

  • Rule 5.1 / Button Controller 5.1 / Button Rule 5.1: These new versions offer these new features ([see this post]https://community.hubitat.com/t/new-app-features-in-2-2-9/79293):
    • ‘Repeat While rule’: This action allows a full rule to be tested for a repeat; it will proceed only if the rule is true and continue to repeat while the rule is true, skipping the body of actions in the repeat when the rule is false. It is still possible to do the same thing with a Simple Conditional action preceding a Repeat action, but only a single condition is tested, not a full rule.
    • ‘Repeat Until rule: This action allows a full rule to be tested at the completion of a repeat loop; the body of the repeat will run once, and then will continue to repeat until the rule is true.
    • ‘Time Since Event’: This condition will be true if the designated amount of time has passed since the last event for the selected device(s). It is possible to use a particular attribute of the device, or any event. The primary intended use case is for actions to test when a device has not reported for some period of time (e.g. dead battery). This cannot be used as a trigger as there are no associated events.
    • Multiple conditions in a logical expression are now referred to as a ‘rule’ (to be distinguished from an instance of the app as a ‘Rule 5.1’). Actions and Predicate have been renamed for consistency:
      • IF rule THEN
      • ELSE-IF rule THEN
      • Repeat While rule
      • Repeat Until rule
      • Wait for rule
      • Predicate rule
    • Action to Disable/Enable device.
    • Between Two Dates condition extended to allow time and variables.
    • Improvements to setting variables.
    • Supports Shock Sensors for triggers and conditions.
    • Supports actual Thermostat Modes and Fan Modes for conditions.
    • As usual, existing Rule-4.1 Rules, Rule 5.0 Rules, Button Controller 5.0, Button Rule 5.0 and older Rules will continue to work and can still be edited, imported/exported and cloned. New **Rules, Button Controllers and Button Rules will be 5.1 version.
  • Simple Automation Rule-1.2: Supports variables instead of connectors for Variable Time triggers.

New App Features

  • Maker API now has an option to disregard SSL certificates on POST.
  • Basic Rule-1.0: Added Shock Sensor triggers.
  • Dashboards:
    • New default look and feel for new dashboards
    • Tile text shadow is now a hide/show from options
  • Simple Automation Rule 1.1: Added dimmer fade time option.
  • Mirror Me: Added pause/resume.
  • Mode Manager: Now supports variable DateTime for modes set by Variable Time.
  • Thermostat Scheduler: Now supports variable DateTime for setpoints set by time period with Variable Time.
  • Mirror Me: Added pause/resume.

  • Introduced new, wizard-like Add a device UI.
  • Restricted non-local access to the hub. Allows non-local subnet whitelisting by using /hub/allowSubnets endpoint, e.g. /hub/allowSubnets?123.123.123.0,124.124.124.0. Running endpoint *without parameters displays currently whitelisted subnets.
  • Added location subscription name option, e.g. subscribe(location, "mode.Day", handler).

  • C7: Automatic restart of SDK components when a crash is detected.
  • Keep more current logs on the page.
  • Do not allow sharing pushover devices over hub mesh.
  • Chromecast reconnect and status poller tweaks.
