After hearing about the exciting updates to the Hubitat Elevation Mobile App, I decided to give it a try. The transition from the old app was smoother than I expected, thanks to the detailed guide provided. The new design is a breath of fresh air, and the customizable home page makes controlling my smart home a breeze.
One feature that stands out is the enhanced presence sensing. I was initially confused about how the geofence works, but the step-by-step instructions clarified everything. It’s amazing how my phone can now act as a presence sensor, adjusting my home’s settings as I approach.
However, I did encounter a minor hiccup when setting up the geofence. After some trial and error, I realized the importance of ensuring my hub’s latitude and longitude were correctly set. Once that was sorted, everything worked seamlessly.
Another highlight is the integration with the Hubitat® Safety Monitor app. Having all my safety features in one place gives me peace of mind. I also appreciate the new Easy Dashboards, which allow me to monitor devices not listed on the main devices tab.
For anyone considering the switch, my advice is to streamline your mobile device setup beforehand. If you’ve used multiple devices in the past, now is the time to consolidate. The app’s performance is worth the effort.
Overall, the Hubitat Elevation Mobile App has elevated my smart home experience. It’s intuitive, feature-rich, and a joy to use. Happy exploring!
