So Much Better Than Vera
I had a Vera and they all the sudden decided to start charging for access to my own hub. Put it behind a paywall and expected me to pay for it. So I put it in a shredder and bought this one instead of having to pay to access my own equipment. Best decision I ever made. This one functions so much better than the Vera. Night and day difference. My only complaints stem from trying to pair older legacy devices; most of which are past their useful lifespan anyhow like smoke detectors that are slowly failing. Everything else not only paired easily but functionality was available that the manufacturer promised that never showed up on the Vera. If I had to do this all over again, I would buy this thing in a heartbeat.

Not easily integrated with Amazon Alexa when using legacy Z-wave-2 plugs and/or Zigbee bulbs.
Clunky user interface. I am certain that the functionality is there but if you think the Alexa UI is annoying, you’ll likely find Hubitat UI even more unintuitive. I am no engineer and the myriad of options buried deep inside Hubitat's menus requires hour of internet research and many YouTube videos. It is a very powerful device and there are a myriad of options to customize your smart home management; but, it requires some effort to make it work. My priorities are connection stability and Alexa voice control. I don't want to use my phone to manage lights and other devices. I only want to use my echo hub to control Zigbee bulbs. I also have Z-wave plugs that I would like to control with voice commands. The house had a mesh network that was linked to Wink. When Wink went bankrupt, I migrated to an Amazon Echo fourth generation hub. It wasn't supposed to work with Z-wave but the functionality was there until it all came to an abrupt end on April 10th, 2026. Hubitat is rated by many users to be extremely reliable and works with older Z-wave and Zigbee hardware. The connection via Zigbee and Z-wave is reported to be more stable than Wi-Fi. Z-wave plugs seemed to work well for me but power outages meant that some of my Zigbee devices would lose connection to my Echo fourth gen hub and then require a factory reset along with the hassle of pairing with the hub. Nobody has time for this nonsense. The point of home automation is "convenience." The Hubitat C8 is not cheap but I already invested in LED bulbs, smart plugs and motion sensors - so I embarked on this experiment. Hubitat claims that it does not require a Wi-fi to internet connection for control of plugs and lights but I still wanted Alexa integration so that I could use voice commands in my home. Even with after I enabled the Hubitat skill in the Alexa app, my Echo hub would not communicate with Hubitat to make any devices work. We are talking about turning lights on and off! It isn't some complicated algorithm. I spent an entire weekend troubleshooting shooting before giving up and sending it back. Yes, I installed the Alexa skill and enabled the Alexa skill on the Hubitat interface! I did reset and reinstall the skills. Alexa is a no go for for any of my devices. All my Z- wave and Zigbee devices are bound for the trash since my Echo hub no longer controls any of my Z-wave or Zigbee plugs/bulbs. Conclusion: Hubitat is good if you need Zigbee and/or Z-Wave support for legacy devices like Iris smart plugs and Osram Zigbee bulbs. If you have many legacy electronic devices using these Zigbee and Z-wave, Hubitat is supposed to control them from the hub using your phone app. Sadly, I think the integration with Amazon Alexa and my Echo Hub is not so reliable. The Alexa skill must be enabled in the Hubitat app and then in the Alexa app for the devices to be linked to your Alexa account - but this still did not work for me! Besides, I am not sure I want to maintain a Hubitat hub and an Echo Hub just to control my lights. I am sure that Hubitat is great as a stand alone product - but not for Amazon Alexa integration... YMMV.

POWERFUL Migration Platform for Previous Hubs!!
Once married to a particular Home Automation platform, it can take an enormous about of effort to swap out to a different hub system. And yet... this Hubitat Elevation C-8 Pro was considerably easier to migrate onto than I had anticipated. Had i realized how easy it would be, I might have made the move a couple of years sooner! The Hubitat is SUPER FLEXIBLE... For beginniers, it has some very simple rule logic, so you don't have to wade neck deep into a lot of technical jargon to build something... Plus... it has ENORMOUS volumes of clickable documentation to help accompany you on your journey. I've been into Home Automation for 15+ years, so my adventures went probably a lot deeper than the average user, to replicate functionality of my earlier Vera hub and get all my devices EXCLUDED from their previous Z-Wave or Zigbee networks and INCLUDED here onto the Hubitat. And exactly that is a great test of any hub's capability, and where Hubitat passes with flying colors! -- Can it inherit some older devices and use them in this brand new network (Most, yes; some really old, no) -- Can it replicate even the most complex rules from a former install? (Absolutely, very def YES!) -- Can it enroll devices QUICKLY? (Totally, hands-down, super fast, easy, well) -- Can it be flexibly powered (like plugged in vs battery pack) to run around and enroll? (Marvellously, YES!) -- Can you connect via APP or WEB eiter one? (Reassuringly, YES! Wonderfully!) -- Does the hub ever get overwhelmed, bogged down, slowed down? (Well, yes, some... a bit on that later) -- Is it a functional drop-in replacement for a Vera hub? (Absolutely, and this one stays connected to Alexa!) -- Is the Support Community good and useful (Very much so!) Personally, I like to use various AI chat bots to help speed things along in my rule development... getting it to make some very complex rules, and then pass text-to-speech rules over to my phone to announce things... This is wayyyy more complex than many hubs can do for you... Really a SUPER cool feature (or set of features!!) Now, back to that "Sluggish Operation" -- Yes, unfortunately one thing about even this "Pro" version of the Habitat hub... if you do like I do and have the app running as the same time as two or three web sessions, and keep it busy enrolling, excluding, passing things over to Alexa, editing rules, on and on... YES, it can start to slow down and get sluggish. But, a simple "close out all sessions and restart" and it's right back to usable form. I just need to slow down what I throw at it, all at once. Still... EXCELLENT, MARVELLOUS, WONDERFUL Z-Wave / Zigbee Hub about which I can't say enough... Just great!

A better SmartThings.
Like many, I originally started my smart home with SmartThings. After a while though it started to have 'issues' with who/how it was being managed and my own knowledge was leading to 'I dont want to use the cloud anymore' so I moved to HomeAssistant (which is awesome but not for everybody). I recently needed a non-SmartThings solution for my sister to get her Smart Home underway and I knew she wanted nothing technical. It just needed to work and be fairly straightforward. After quickly saying no to ST I decided that Hubitat WAS the improved SmartThings that runs locally so I picked up this C-8 hub for her. It was a surprise so i had no idea how she would react to using something like this to manage her new smart lock (way better than the lock mfg app). After installing the lock and setting up Hubitat we sat down and paired the lock, installed Hubitat apps, and began configuring events and alerts. She did a great job and wasn't intimidated however a new person who is not technical is still going to struggle with a few things. For those of you that fall into this category, YouTube is your friend! Use it, learn it, and you will find a Smart Home is a great thing to have. One thing I will call out is that, even though I myself was new to Hubitat it became clear that something had changed 'recently' regarding 'admin access'. I'm 1000 miles from that Hubitat so going from memory, I think it was they split the App Admin/access from the Hub admin/Access, and maybe even the web site(?). And to join the hub you have to set up your own hubitat acct (on the web?) and then get invited by the Hub Admin. It got a bit confusing. They also now limit the secure Hub access to ONE user so we kept the security OFF while I was there to help but she turned it back on once I'd left. If you do not do this anyone can walk up to your house, if they can get on your wifi, hubitat.local gets them into your system. Make sure to turn that security ON! Overall, with only a couple days to set up, review, train my sister it was a decent system just about anyone can use and has plenty of integrations with other device manufacturers systems. HomeAssitant is still better but then you really need to be a system admin, coder, and part time babysitter. Give Hubitat a try.

SmartThings to Homey Pro 2026 to Hubitat Elevation Personal Journey
Smart Homes are not for the faint of heart, or for people on a tight budget. In 2015, SmartThings 2 was a great hub IF you are an engineer, with patience and programming skills (which I am.) SmartThings was compatible with loads of devices and had a great community support. But after 10 years, the hub died - not bad for a small piece of electronics. I replaced with a slightly used SmartThings 3 hub off of eBay which had less processing power and was dead out of the box -- waste of $150. I decided to move to Home Assistant, but cancelled the order before it arrived because I realized the amount of coding that was going to be needed, and after much research, dove into the $400 Homey hub based on ease of use, and the belief that a decade should have made home automation easier. Homey truly is a beautiful piece of hardware and intuitive elegant software - however after 2 months of effort - I gave up; most of the device hardware already had was not supported, and even when I replaced with door locks and water leak sensors with newer hardware that claimed compatibility, was not compatible without custom code or sacrificing features. So, I purchased a Hubitat Elevation hub for expansive device compatibility with the intention of using it as a bridge to Homey for ease of interface. Both devices support local, quick, without internet functionality. After 2 months of effort, I disconnected the Homey Hub Conclusion: SmartThings was the best 10 years ago. Great reliable hardware. Great community. Solid. Not easy, but nothing was easy. Homey Pro is expensive, has a beautiful interface, and intuitive programming. If you are starting from scratch, and are not a programmer, this might be an option. Based on my research, Homey Pro is the best choice in Europe, but compatibility and support with latest devices in N. America lags, so you give up features, and pay higher prices. Hubitat Elevation is amazing for device compatibility. Older and newer devices connect on the first try and stay connected. Hubitat retains local execution for speed and privacy. Hubitat's interface is not elegant, but good enough. Rules programming is simple "If this, then that" interface, but may discourage some users. I like it better than their visual programming. It is priced fair enough at $175 for the hub, and I am not locked into a specific ecosystem.

Great hub
One of the most challenging things was to decide if I want to go with Hubitat or Home Assistant. I was googling for couple of days and found out that the more advanced users are using both to take advantage of combined integrations, but HA is more complex and more hustle to maintain. In my case both systems cost about $250. I got this hub with a small discount plus I had to purchase a Lutron pro hub (faster than cloud-only integration of a standard hub). And if I would chose HA I would have to buy HA yellow + Raspberry PI + small NVME drive + z-wave module. So I chose this hub for it's simplicity and it's antennas providing the strongest possible connection. Also I liked that it's all in one device that has built in wi-fi, zigbee and z-wave out of the box. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see how tiny it was, it's the size of a Lutron hub but twice thinner. It's by far the best looking hub I have. In my case I wanted to automate Lutron switches that control lights and fans with my Aqara motion and humidity sensors. I was previously using IFTTT but didn't like the 1 to 5 second delay that it takes for IFTTT to process event coming from my sensor and send the command back to Lutron, plus I had to pay a yearly subscription. The Hubitat hub allowed me to pair both Lutron Pro and Aqara M2 hubs with ease and add all of their child devices. I found the interface to be completely fine. I used the rule machine to define the new rules and this machine is significantly more powerful than IFTTT. Finally everything is working, and most importantly the lights turn on instantly.

Fast and reliable hardware—if you bypass Rule Machine and run external automations
I’ve owned Hubitat hubs for over two years and currently run four C8-Pros across my setup; I have 2 C8s decommissioned. Having spent extensive time building and troubleshooting complex automations, I agree with many of the critical reviews on Amazon regarding the Hubitat hub. WITHOUT Hubitat’s Rule Machine, I give the Hubitat hardware a 4-star rating. It is fast, local, and reliable. However, if you rely entirely on Rule Machine for your logic and automations, my rating drops to 1 star. The Reality of Rule Machine (RM) Hubitat advertises Rule Machine as its built-in automation engine. While the developers state RM isn’t a full programming language, it uses conditions, variables, strings, logic, and actions just like one. If you don't have a background in logic or coding, there is a steep learning curve: • There are no step-by-step wizards to guide you. • You cannot simply copy and paste standard code snippets from the web into RM. 1. State Persistence & Execution Delays Because the hub saves state changes and variable data to persistent storage, heavy automations can introduce noticeable latency. In fast-local home automation, delay is the last thing you want. The longer your rules, the more active your sensors (like chatty motion or vibration sensors), the more delay you can encounter. In my RM setups, I frequently had to insert arbitrary 1-second delays after setting variables just to give the hub time to write the data before the next step evaluated. Without these artificial pauses, rules fail because they pull outdated variable values. 2. Browser UI Bottlenecks Rule Machine programming is handled entirely in real time through a web browser. Every time you add or edit a line, the entire rule is sent to the hub, processed, saved, and re-rendered in your browser. • On complex rules (100+ lines), opening or editing a single line can take 15+ seconds to process. • Making 10 quick edits can easily take several minutes of sitting and waiting for page refreshes. 3. Live Auto-Saving & UI Quirks There is no "Save" button in Rule Machine. The moment you click out of an input field, the change is immediately sent to the hub and saved. This creates frustrating UI behavior: • Focus Loss Risks: If you open a prompt to delete or cut lines of code and change your mind, clicking CANCEL often triggers a lost-focus event first—which immediately executes the delete/cut before canceling. To safely back out, you have to manually uncheck every item before touching Cancel. • Corrupted Conditions: I have frequently had RM drop condition expressions after saving, replacing a detailed line like IF (Variable X = 5) with IF (*broken condition*) or IF(). Re-entering these dropped conditions on a long rule means waiting another 30+ second cycle per edit. • Hidden Blank Conditions: RM occasionally injects invisible blank conditions into expressions. The rule simply stops working until you dive into the expression editor, locate the blank line, and remove it. 4. Required Expressions & Ghost Variables • Required Expressions: While a great concept on paper, they frequently fail due to execution lag. If a variable hasn't finished updating in storage when the event fires, the Required Expression evaluates as false and the rule never triggers. Moving Required Expressions to the top of the main rule action body helps, but still can require a manual delay. • Ghost Variables & Triggers: Troubleshooting broken rules often leads to "ghost" references—variables or triggers that remain active in the background even after being removed from the UI. Often, the only fix is deleting the entire rule and rebuilding it from scratch. (Tip: Always manually delete a rule's triggers before deleting the rule itself, or those triggers may continue firing in the background.) The Alternative: Hubitat + Node.js / JavaScript About six months ago, I completely abandoned Rule Machine. Instead, I shifted my automation logic to JavaScript running on a local home server via Node.js (a simple desktop PC on your local network works just as well). Hubitat’s hardware excels when used as an I/O bridge rather than a logic engine: 1. Event Socket: Hubitat provides a websocket endpoint (ws://[HUB_IP]/eventSocket) that streams every single event happening on the hub in real time. 2. Maker API: You can control any connected device instantly using simple HTTP GET requests generated by your local scripts. Results of Offloading Logic: • Sub-250ms Response Times: With Rule Machine, opening a door might take 1,500ms or more before a speaker announcement triggered. Offloading logic to JavaScript drops execution time to consistently under 250ms. • Cleaner Debugging: Native JavaScript logging provides real-time console feedback, eliminating the need to rely on Hubitat’s reversed, limited system log page. • Expanded Device Support: You can write custom API integrations for devices Hubitat doesn't natively support (e.g., communicating directly with smart AV receivers or TVs over local network APIs). Verdict If you plan to rely solely on Rule Machine for complex, multi-device home automation, prepare for a steep, often frustrating experience with UI delays and state-tracking bugs. However, if you are a programmer or willing to use Node.js and Maker API to handle your logic externally, the Hubitat hub hardware itself is fast, reliable, and one of the best local smart home gateways on the market.

Hubitat home automation is spectacular!
I transitioned from SmartThings to Hubitat, and I have never looked back. SmartThings was a good option for me to augment my home automation project at the time. And I became an avid user of webCoRE on the SmartThings platform. webCoRE is an advanced web-based rule engine. I liked the SmartThings environment. But SmartThings depreciated weCoRE. Hubitat fully supported weCoRE and had a very active user group. So I dropped SmartThings and began my Hubitat journey. What an awesome improvement over SmartThings. I have been a Hubitat user for many years now. Nearly my entire home automation platform is Hubitat based and I could not be happier. The team at Hubitat is very proactive with nearly constant improvements. Building a home automation atmosphere around Hubitat is quite easy. I have dabbled in many of the home automation products out there, and Hubitat is a clear winner for me.
