Installing the HubConnect proxy server is a very simple process and can run on virtually any hardware due to its small footprint.
System Requirements
- A Mac, Windows. or Linux operating environment. (i.e. Raspberry Pi)
- Node version 11 (recommended), versions 8+ should work.
Installing the HubConnect Server
- Create a directory on your server or Raspberry Pi for the HubConnect proxy server:
mkdir hubconnect - Copy the following files to the directory created in step 1:
- proxy.js
- config.json
- package.json
- Edit the config.json file for your Hubitat environment. An explanation of the file can be found here and a tool for generating configuration files is also available here.
- Install the server. In the directory which the files were copied into in step 2, run the following command:
npm install -g - Start the server:
node proxy.js - Log into the server hub, open each connected hub, click Connect to Remote Hub, then Disconnect. (No devices will be lost)
- Re-configure the remote hub connection that was disconnected in step 6, selecting the Use Proxy toggle, then filling in the connection information from step 3.
- Check the Remote Hub device on the server hub to confirm that the hub connected to the proxy.
- Log in to each remote hub to verify that each Remote Hub device has connected to the proxy.
That's it! Please open a support ticket for assistance.
