Endpoint to update hub from dashboard button

[kahn-hubitat]

is there such an endpoint .. if not can we add one.. getting tired of getting on vpn on 4 differnt hubs to update everytime a update comes out. lol.

thanks

if i do it i would put two buttons on the dashboard so both have to be on before it would update..
Same way i have reboot coded on my dashboard.. saves on accidentially hitting the button.

Yes, see the endpoints added in 2.3.9.176:

Release 2.3.9 Available

Release 2.3.9.176 Available Changes from 2.3.9.174 Platform Changes More Bonjour/HomeKit tweaks. Added hub management endpoints : /hub/advanced/getManagementToken - fetches hub's management token to be used with other endpoints below. This token is stored in the database. /management/firmwareUpdate?token=tokenValue - starts hub firmware update. /management/firmwareUpdateStatus?token=tokenValue - fetches current firmware update status. /management/clone?token=tokenValue&source=sourceHubIpAdd…

Thanks ... anyone have a rule already built that gets the token stuffs it in a variable and calls the firmware update? Just to save time. If so please post the exported xml. Thanks

I set one up, but found that it didn’t work. There was an issue somewhere that prevented it to work from a RM rule.

Not sure if @gopher.ny has had a look at it yet… If so, I will re-test.

This is designed to update multiple hubs at the same time, but it can do just the hub that it is on also.

Is 192.168.11.109 a Hubitat hub? If so, be aware that port 80 is blocked, and you'd have to use port 8080.

[kahn-hubitat]

thanks will try with 80 but got it working with the firmware updater app which seems easier anyway,

thanks i think this would be the rule without usaing the updater app. but it just says trying to update hub xx at location xx .. not sure if it will reinstall the current firmware on only if there is a new version..

[kahn-hubitat]

thanks all i now have the ability to update firmware via 2 buttons on all my cloud dashboard onthe 4 hubs.. So i dont have to vpn in and go throught the process in the future.
