Now that I have my shiny little hub,

What is the Owners group?

It is the elite club of people who are elevating their environment. You are part of this club now too

[zarthan]

I might rather be King, but I suppose Owner is pretty cool.
Thanks.

@zarthan

I might rather be King

Well, looks like we've got you covered ...

[zarthan]

Wow. So my first act as King is to take over more Smartthings territory. Since I only have one day, we better be quick. Charge!!!!

If you plan on moving more than 20 Z-Wave devices, I'll be sure to crown you for more days. I wouldn't want you to start off your mesh on the wrong foot

I am really liking Hubitat.

[gbrown]

Me too and I've only had it for a day. I think it's happy middle between the tinkerers and the plug and players. Obviously got room to improve, but the team seems keen to grow the platform properly.

Well, I guess here is the place to get the owner's smiley. My Hubitat is working nicely to take over 90% of the functionality I had with my Iris system (cameras are the only thing lacking). I've added more functionality also now that I can add Zigbee devices not designated "works with Iris."
