Got a new phone...how do i add it to my hub

HI all,

I just got a new phone and I want to add it to my hub...i'm replacing my old phone. I'd like to use the geofencing fencing features and want to make sure that my new phone is the one being recognized.

also, my old phone shows up twice on my devices list. I searched the forums for a way of adding my new phone but couldn't find any relevant issue. I'm sure my query could have been worded better but i hit a mental block.

any help would be appreciated.

Send a "geo event" from the Hubitat app on your new phone. It will create a device on your Hubitat. You can delete the devices corresponding to your old phone (after removing them from any rules/apps they are used in).

Edit: "Send Geo Event" is in the app Settings "tab". Also - welcome to Hubitat!

Should ask you if you just add the app to the new phone and connect to the hub. I recently got an Android phone for testing, and when I loaded the app and connected to the hub, it asked me if I wanted to add if I'm remembering correctly.
