Refugee Iris User Second linked Hubitat hub possible?

Hello,

New to Hubitat from Iris and had a question. Bought the Hubitat great local now! Much faster!
I've moved over over all my Zwave, Zigbee devices, moved over my Kwikset 910 locks ok, setup my presence with the SmartThings presence sensors and included 360 presence as well. Integrated Alexa, setup my 3 smoke / Co first alerts ok, added my 5 sirens, tied them all together in Safety ok, added my Radio thermostat ok, got a bunch of buttons smartThings buttons doing different things in RM, all my lights are ok for schedules, locks and presence working great.

The question, i also have a shed I used to monitor with a second Iris hub, too far for Zigbee/Zwave devices to reach, can I link another Hubitat to the first one and add rules to new Hubitat or the main hub?
Have no issue with two accounts, just need the coverage.
I have network wiring out there and plenty of power. Only real issues I've had is in winter very cold and in summer really hot.

How would I link them together if it is possible?

Thanks

mike

Duh, just answered my own question.
Sorry.

At least three of us here on the forum have three hubs. One per ‘floor’ and then a third that has a link from the other two where all the common or risky apps run. I call mine the ‘coodinator’ :slight_smile:

Are these secondary hubs able to be on a different subnet? For example master hub on 192.168.0.0/24 and secondary hub on 10.20.0.0/24?

Not in my case, all 3 are on the same subnet, however, it doesn't matter if you use HubConnect, they can be anywhere. The developer of HubConnect has on of them in his RV which is more likely than not a different subnet than his home network.

It may not be readily apparent... the SmartThings integration for HubConnect uses Samsung's Cloud. That's always been SmartThings method. Link to Hub and OtherHub used that method also.

Hubitat also has it's cloud service and remote dashboards are an example of using the same cloud feature that HubConnect uses to interconnect hubs on different subnets.

When you define the remote hub in HubConnect Server, you would pick Hubitat (Internet):
