Hello! I downloaded the Hubitat Elevation app today and am a bit confused. I have two Hubitat devices in two locations. With the old app, it is bit clunky going between the two, but I adjusted. I would love to have two instances of the app, once dedicated to each hub, but as far as I know that …

From the mobile app’s “home” screen you can tap on the name of your hub to bring up a “my hub” screen. From there you can tap “switch to another hub.”

Thank you! I missed that. Ideally, it would be much easier to have multiple instances of the app, one dedicated to each hub. Having to go to home, select a hub, go to dashboards, etc. is not as easy as just picking an icon. However, if the old app is supported indefinitely, then I can use the ol…

Not sure about their plans to support the older app, my guess is it’ll remain in the App Store as it currently is, but won’t receive much in the way of actual updates. At some point, iOS updates could eventually introduce some kind of breaking change.

[image] mike26: Unfortunately with the new app, it seems the only way to change between hubs is to log out, then log in again and select the new hub. Assuming that both hubs are registered with the same account, you do not have to log out. If you press on the hub's name and go into hub settin…

Thanks. I missed the option to change hubs, but someone pointed in the right direction. I also understand that you cannot have two identical applications on a mobile device. For now I will use the old app for one hub and the new for another. Switching between hubs is not a big deal, but it is …

[image] mike26: will use the old app for one hub and the new for another. Nothing wrong with that approach, but be aware that the last app you log in that selects the same hub's mobile device on a particular hub becomes the primary presence and push notification driver. I have seen several r…

i have used app cloner pro to add a second app on the same phone (android) unfort. just switching in the app is enough if you want phone notifications from both hubs on the same phone

Can you please verify to see if the old app will be downloadable from the store if it’s offloaded from your phone due to space saving. My concern is that my iPhone automatically uploads or offloads apps based on space management and if the old app is gone from the store. I’ll never be able to get i…
