Is there a way to see the changelog or is it only available to beta testers currently?

@bobbyD

export and import rules

Be still my pounding heart... you mean my home automation configs can now all be put under revision control, just like REAL SOFTWARE? I'll need to sit down.

only available to beta testers currently

They are currently only available to beta or in the video (@ 10m:25s)

And by slowly going through the YouTube video from last night.

I left timestamps in the Hubitat Live thread in the lounge - "why aren't you watching" - or something like that.

@bravenel With the new import/export rule feature, does that mean that we could now theoretically code rule machine rules in our preferred editor and then just import them in to Rule Machine, in the process bypassing all “rule creation by dropdown boxes”?

Not very likely to happen, unless someone writes a rule editor (ha, pretty much what RM is).

New Built-in app: Hub Mesh

I can't wait to use this feature! Seems like this will really simplify connecting multiple hubs devices.

[rocketwiz]

Totally agree + it will make migration a lot easier + now I can have another hub servicing the far end of the house and reduce need for repeaters.

PS I certainly hope there will be performance improvements for C4 users. I'm still stuck on 2.2.2 because of issues with 2.2.3

[lars.lillebekk]

When can we get 2.2.4??? Really need the improved Z-wave on my hub

[bobbyD]

A little cross reference doesn't hurt...If beta testing goes well, which seems to be the case as of today, the public release is near...

Hubitat Live!

It’s in beta.. So not long.. But as for more specific .. As soon as we are confident it is stable.

[bobbles]

@lars.lillebekk

When can we get 2.2.4???

When they release it......
Seriously though, it is in beta and will only be released when they are confident to do so.

[rocketwiz]

Any love for the old C4?

[stephen_nutt]

[bobbyD]

@rocketwiz

Any love for the old C4?

Older models receive every bit of love as the newer model, with exception of Z-Wave enhancements

[rocketwiz]

She'll be holding you to that, she's a jealous one my C4

[bobbyD]

@rocketwiz

she's a jealous one my C4

She certainly needs a partner to be HUB enMESHed

[mattias]

I see what you mean
