I received my Hubitat Elevation on July 5th and made most of my transition on July 10th. You can read about that part of my journey here:
I have had exactly one "glitch" with the system since then. One morning (about a week ago) I woke up and noticed some of my lights hadn't transitioned with their morning routine. The red light was on at the hub. A reboot fixed it. Support suspects a power glitch.
Twice I have had to reboot so that a platform upgrade will complete. In neither case was the hub "down". There was a glitch in the daylight time to standard time transition - the community rapidly found a work around and a permanent fix is in the works (it may already be deployed, I haven't been tracking it).
That's the sum total of the "bad" things that have happened since July.
When I was on SmartThings, it was regular routine for me to get up and find out that one of the outdoor lights had switched off over night for no obvious reason. I never found anything in the logs that helped me isolate it. I also had one outlet that would switch on for no apparent reason, again I was never able to find a cause. Both Z-Wave devices. I began to wonder if I had some kind of Z-Wave interference. These devices are now on Hubitat and both have worked 100% correctly since being moved.
I never got to where I could use Sonos for notifications on SmartThings. The Sonos Integration (AFAIK) never left the "Labs" stage in SmartThings. I was pleasantly surprised to find it worked in Hubitat. My wife thinks it's creepy ("You've got Mail" and "Refrigerator Door is Open" announced over Sonos) but I enjoy it.
To integrate my security cameras, which are connected to iSpy, with motion detectors on SmartThings, I had to write a handler. It worked fine and kudos to them for exposing a development environment. I ported that over to Hubitat and it worked fine there as well. I then asked Bruce if we could have an option to send an HTTP Get from Rule Machine. He added it, it works, and I was able to eliminate my custom handler.
I ordered a Zooz Smart Outlet Strip. It was not supported out-of-the-box. By the time it arrived they had published the handler. I ordered one of the new SmartThings Zigbee buttons. Initially I ported the SmartThings handler over and it worked. Less than a week after receiving the buttons, they published support for them natively in Hubitat.
It's a pretty stable solid little hub and a great group of people supporting it. An excellent community has come together around it and they provide additional support.
I don't own any interest in Hubitat but I am impressed with what they have done and how responsive they are. Almost as important to the ownership experience, they have a wonderful community of users with all levels of experience who are willing to help out when you do have questions.
