How to get notifications

Everything app is completely broken.
Open the app, IF the login screen appears, I enter the correct username and password and it says "fetching user data"..... Forever!

If I try to register hub to the app, it says "no hub is associated to that email account"

I can use the app's internal browser to find my hub and see everything, but if I then back out to the main screen then click on "devices" tab at the bottom, I just get the spinning wheel of death.

I can log in with Chrome on Android but if I click on "registered hubs" it takes me to "my.hubitat.com/hubs" and tells me that there are no hubs associated with the email.

From there, if I try to find hubs, it just keeps searching, and yes I am on the same 2.3G local network.

I'm lost and need help!

Can you reach the hub via a regular computer browser? If so, completely remove the app. Restart your phone, reinstall the app. Go to settings then hub. PIck up. (make sure you're on LAN not 5g)

Yes @rlithgow1 , I can access the hub both on my laptop or my phone using the ip address just fine. I had already uninstalled and reinstalled, but did not restart between those steps. trying that now.

Also tried going to my.hubitat.com on pc and also says no hub associated with the email.

So I have removed/uninstalled the app, restarted the phone, and at 0912 entered the login information. = "Please wait... Fetching users data"

0922 now and still "fetching"....

0934 still fetching. Reminds me of a dog I used to have like this. Id throw a stick and say "Fetch" and he'd look at the stick... look at me... look at the stick... then lay down.

Never stopped "fetching" but I think that is just a hiccup in the app not transitioning to the next item. I exited that screen then revisited it by clicking on the app icon, and it was at the brief tutorial page. For grins, i went through it, made sure to allow positions and for all the time at precise level, then it put me at the dashboard tab - which was blank white.

I clicked on the Devices tab in the bottom center and it says "Hub is not responsive, please make sure it is online and connected to the cloud" Not sure where to check that, but if it is not, it won't be able to communicate with my phone for door notifications when I am off the LAN.

I totally agree that those errors are meaningless, the next version of the mobile app will address this problem. What that means is that your hub is no longer connected to the cloud.

This is also a side-effect of the fact that the hub isn't connected to the cloud. Here is a post from yesterday of someone else who had a cloud connection problem:

Push Notification service requires cloud connection, so you will not be able to receive push notifications if your hub isn't connected to the cloud.

So @bobbyD and @rlithgow1 , seems you guys are pretty savvy on what might be my issue.
I rebooted the hub to see if that would fix anything, but no.

Followed the linked thread above from Bobby, and in my network properties, I find the DNS is set to 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76 , so, I go to my router setup (Netgear c6300) and I find DNS set to "get automatically from ISP" (Comcast/Xfinity). I went to change it to 1.1.1.1 second 8.8.8.8, and third 9.9.9.9, save and POOF! No more connection... Nothing connects at all.

I reboot the Netgear C6300 and it resets to Auto DNS and connects with the old DNS server numbers.

I search this on Google, and learn that 1.1.1.1 is a Cloudflare product, which sounds very good, but requires some installation tool? At this point I am reticent to install just because I don't want to break anything any further! Please help!!

the 75.75 stuff is from comcast. At this point with a toothpick or paper clip press the reset button on the bottom of the hub (the only round hole out of all the squares). This will reset your network settings. Set a DHCP reservation up in your router for the hub. See if it can reach the internet now.

Well, it is improved!
Reset via the hidden switch, already have a reservation in the router and it found it just fine. In the router settings page on the PC I see the DNS is set to 8.8.8.8, and I set the default gateway to the IP of my router (192.168.0.1), and at this time the app did connect - partially.

I first saw no dashboards, and only two devices (Shelly Dimmer-2's) in a single room. I went to the app manager and cleared cache, now I see all four of my Shelly dimmers, but I cannot see my ThirdReality Zigbee Door sensor. I do see the "Garage" room I set up, but no device in that room - Ironically, it is on my "All devices" dashboard, and when I activated it I DID GET a notification!!! :smiley: :man_cartwheeling: :man_dancing:

Don't change any of the setting on HE, let it run full DHCP and see how it performs

Now, shut down the hub via settings. Unplug (at the wall not the hub) for 5 mins and power back up. Then see how everything is. And for giggles, lets see your z-wave details page in it's entirety...

So here's the Zigbee details, looks pretty generic. I'm just starting to build my system from the ground up after Insteon was bought by the J. Epstein Group... :dizzy_face:

Rebooting now...

z-wave details page

I have no z-wave devices?

Oh.,.. I was under the impression you had devices on this hub. Is this just a secondary hub running rules?

It's the only hub, just slowly populating it from scratch as I learn all things Hubitat.

Currently I have 4 Shelly Dimmers, and the one door contact (three purchased) installed and setting up for routines.

I do have a minor issue with the dimmers, slow fade to zero stops at 1% glow. I can start a new thread with that, I think that would be best.
