MikeSharp01 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 We are reaching the crunch choices around the automation for the house and we have both Z-wave and Zigbee actuators / lighting. So I am casting about for a non cloud based hub I can use that handles both. Hubitat looks like a goer but there is / was also Wink not sure if that is still a thing though. Anybody used the Hubitat elevation hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using Fibaro hub but did not like the programming/design side and much refer Hubitat. My plans are 4 x hubs with 1 per floor as we have a lot of concrete walls and floors. Just about to setup a slave type arrangement to test that out - will be doing it for real in 4 weeks so figured would experiment now with less stress! The online community seems pretty good also.

I can see the community is strong. I need to understand the API possibilities. We have a small timber framed build and I was hoping that I would only need one and let the mesh do the rest. Lots to learn but thanks for the reassurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I didn't do any detailed analysis of options really just liked the price and community and the multi hub option due to the house structure and size. Probably fine with a timber build. Always have the option to add hubs if needed. There is an antenna mod if you like that kind of fun but I'll try and go without that. @pocster getting on ok with that? Any issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before tried fibaro server , Mac stuff and a few others . HomeSeer has a really active forum so there’s loads of support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I use a Homey, but am also experimenting with Home Assistant for the heating. Homey to be fair has been fairly foolproof for several years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
