Very misleading marketing of this app. You cannot have al your devices in one place. Most devices are wifi and lp cameras that you include in your Dashboard. You have todo Magic to make it happen.
the device page is NOT a dashboard. Simply create a dashboard with everything you want on it.
Hubitat doesn't officially support cameras but you can do an image tile provided your camera outputs an ip stream then you set refresh for 1 second.
What do you mean most devices are wifi? Most of my devices are z-wave and zigbee and clear connect.
Can you be more specific about your concern? The "Devices" tab doesn't support every kind of device yet, but it's not clear if you're talking about that or Dashboards, and if so, which kind.
As mentioned above, Hubitat does not natively support video from any cameras, though a few brands/models are supported for other events like motion.
It's still not clear if any of the above is your concern or just devices that are compatible with the hub in general, neither of which is related specifically to the above aside from the fact that of course a device has to be compatible with the hub before it can appear in "Devices" or an Easy Dashboard (Hubitat Dashboard actually lets you get away with a little bit more thanks to how flexible it is, but that's when you run into things that aren't easy -- when you want things that are not compatible with the hub directly).
The compatible device list is clearly linked to in the hub documentation, the Hubitat webpage, and with a QR code on the Amazon product page (best they can do there since Amazon doesn't really allow directing people elsewhere, like the Hubitat site where they might buy it instead...). While this is not a complete list of every device that can possibly work with the hub -- community apps and drivers plus a variety of untested devices that can work with built-in drivers -- you will have an easier time if you start with devices on this list.
No offense intended to the OP but I suspect there could be a bit of a language barrier here.
Perhaps if @ricardo.visbal elaborates on their concerns in their native language, the rest of us can use google translate to get a better understanding of what they find to be “misleading” or what kind of “magic” they are referring to.
As written, the OP is essentially meaningless…
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry if there was any ambiguity in our messaging. To better understand your concerns, could you please specify if you are referring to the Hubitat Mobile app or the Hubitat platform in general?
Your insights will be valuable as we strive to enhance our communication.
I would like to elaborate on my situation. Currently, I have only one Z-Wave device that works perfectly: a Honeywell thermostat. However, I want to integrate all my smart devices into dashboards. Most of these devices have been recognized by Google Home and Alexa.
I am trying to connect them to Hubitat, but the documentation suggests that I need to find specific drivers. After installing the drivers, I'm unsure how to proceed with pairing the devices.
I was hoping for a seamless transition, similar to what Google Home and Alexa have provided for my Wi-Fi devices.
To give you more context, I have 20 Smart Life switches and 4 Neviweb thermostat (TH1123WF).
Additionally, I have IP cameras, for which I've learned that I need to host my own HTTPS to display them on the dashboard image tile.
Can you provide more details on the documentation you are referring to and the drivers you are referring to? Are these Community developed drivers?
So If you are trying to connect wifi devices, a limited number of those are native to Hubitat because Hubitat's core tenant is local control. Most wifi devices are cloud based. Now that is not to say that cloud based wifi stuff is not compatible with hubitat. Hubitat leave it open to the community to write integrations for wifi based devices... (For example, Bosch Home Connect wifi devices or Ring wifi devices) This has 2 caveats... The 1st is someone willing to write the integration/driver for said device. The second is the availability of an API. Without both they're not gonna work.
Your TUYA smart life switches are wifi and cloud based. There is a beta you can look here..
As for ip cameras, if they output http streams, you can put them into a tile with a refresh of one second. If you're looking to use them as triggers, you will need something like Camect (I love mine) or Blue Iris...
Most people here aren't interested in cloud based devices due to privacy, reliability etc. Personally I don't want to be beholden to either another company's servers or my internet provider.
One thing you can do with your connected devices on your alexa (also google or homekit) is to use virtual switches. So you make a virtual switch on Hubitat, and expose that to alexa. You then write a rule on your alexa to turn that switch on or off based on something doing something. Hubitat will see that switch is on or off and do something on the hubitat that you set. So, lets say you turn on the living room light, that will trip the virtual switch which will then tell Hubitat to raise your zwave thermostat to 70 degrees (f). It's actually easy and seamless.
Thanks for clarifying. Can you elaborate on how you were led to believe something inaccurate about Hubitat’s support for IP cameras?
Many device manufacturers include native support for Google Home and Amazon Alexa because those two companies are mega-corporations with worldwide footprints that dominate the IT industry. And generally speaking, the integrations depend on an active cloud connection.
Hubitat is a small company, and they have generally prioritized local integrations with smart devices, some of which use WiFi.
