I wanted to share a heartfelt thank you to the Hubitat team for creating such an incredible product with the Hub Protect subscription. Recently, I experienced an unexpected crash with my C7 hub, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time. I was asleep, and when I woke up, the hub was completely unresponsive. No web interface, no devices, nothing. I was devastated because I rely heavily on my smart home setup for security, lighting, and automation.
After trying a soft reset without success, I remembered that I had activated the Hub Protect Cloud backup. I was hopeful but not entirely sure if it would work. To my immense relief, the automated cloud backup from just a few hours before restored everything perfectly. All my devices, Zigbee and Z-Wave radios, apps, and automations were back online as if nothing had happened. It was like a miracle!
This experience has solidified my belief in the importance of regular backups, especially for something as critical as a smart home hub. The Hub Protect subscription is an absolute must-have for anyone serious about their smart home setup. It’s reassuring to know that even in the face of unexpected issues, my smart home can be restored with minimal downtime.
I want to extend my gratitude to the Hubitat team for their dedication to creating reliable and robust solutions. Your work truly makes a difference, and I’m more confident than ever in my smart home setup thanks to Hub Protect. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot—it’s peace of mind worth every penny!
Cheers to the Hubitat team for another home run!
