Hi everyone,
I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation lately, and I’ve come across something that’s been on my mind a lot—used hubs and their environmental implications. I stumbled upon a Reddit thread discussing Hubitat’s stance on used hubs, and it really made me think about the broader impact of our choices in this space.
For those who might not be aware, Hubitat has a policy against using or selling used hubs, which I understand is likely for security and support reasons. But as someone who’s passionate about reducing waste, this policy raises a few questions for me. Replacing hubs every few years feels wasteful, especially when the hardware is still fully functional. It makes me wonder if there’s a middle ground where used hubs can be responsibly repurposed or resold without compromising security.
I’d love to hear from the community—does anyone have experience with using or selling used hubs? Are there alternative solutions or workarounds that allow for reuse while maintaining security? I’m also curious about Hubitat’s perspective on this. Is there any ongoing discussion or potential policy changes that could address these concerns?
On a related note, I’ve been exploring ways to integrate multiple brands of smart devices into my setup. It’s been a bit of a learning curve, but it’s also been really rewarding to see how different ecosystems can work together. If anyone has tips or tricks for seamless integration, I’d be thrilled to hear them!
Looking forward to your thoughts and experiences. Let’s keep the conversation going and find ways to make our smart homes both efficient and sustainable.
Best regards,
