Does the C8 Pro still create a Local LAN Link for browser use that includes authentication? Topic search results for this query are awfully thin. My brother migrated from C5 & says the need to type a P/W or PIN to use his dashboard is really annoying.
I think that sometimes, Hubitat actually puts in a PIN itself. So, even if you didn’t put in the PIN, you should erase any PIN in that slot when setting up a dashboard.
How would the hub do that?
I believe that it’s an unreported bug.
The issue my brother raised, stated more clearly, is that if I enable password protection and then try to access my dashboards, I have to enter the password or I have to select “Remote” control, which I can then only protect with a PIN. Is there a way to have password protection enabled and still access my dashboards without entering the password or selecting remote control? C-8 Pro, version 2.5.0.159
If you are using the Hubitat app, you should be able to click on the Dashboards icon at the bottom to get to dashboards without having to do anything else. You should also be able to access local Dashboards via their local URL.
If I enable password protection, I don’t even see a home page without entering the password.
How do I find/share the local dashboard URL?
In that case, please consider reporting what you believe to be a bug.
Where are you referring to? If you are trying to get to your dashboards from the Hubitat interface, you will need to enter your username and password to login. If you are referring to the app on a phone or tablet, you should see a Dashboards icon on the middle bottom of the app when it opens.
Regular dashboards:
EZ Dash:
I have seen at times where browser auto-fill has put something into that field, and then when you save/done it saves whatever auto-filled.
It has been reported and they attempted to fix (Stated as "likely fixed"). However, I still see it auto fill out the PIN sometimes when I expand the advanced section of my dashboards sometimes. I just know to be aware that it can happen now and make sure to check it before I save (happened as recently as a couple weeks ago).
If I could replicate it on demand, I would add to the bug report. But, it seems to be random (maybe specific dashboards, or maybe just specific steps..... did not see a pattern though)
