Understanding the Server Config (config.json) File

The HubConnect server is configured using a very simple config.json file which tells the server how many hubs it can expect to connect, what the IP address is, and what port to accept connections on.

 

Sample config.json

{
  "hubs":
  [
    {
      "name": "Server Hub",
      "ip": "192.168.1.1",
      "port": 22000
    },
    {
      "name": "Hub 1",
      "ip": "192.168.1.2",
      "port": 22001
    },
    {
      "name": "Hub 2",
      "ip": "192.168.1.3",
      "port": 22002
    }
  ],
  "makerSocket":
  {
      "enabled": true,
      "port": 22010
  }
}

 

Field Definitions - Hubs

name: A friendly name of the hub.  This is displayed in the console logs.
ip:   The IP address of the hub in which to connect to the Hubitat websocket.
port: The port in which to accept a connection from the remote hub.

 

 

 

Field Definitions - Maker Socket

enabled: Starts the maker websocket server on the [port] specified.
port: The port in which to accept a connection from any websocket client.


Important Tips

Syntax is critical.  Using a tool such as JSONLint to validate your configuration file after editing is strongly recommended.

Alternatively, use the configutation tool from the Hubitat Community.
