About

Monitor and control your Hubitat® Elevation smart home hub using your Garmin device. Note: This is a Beta app, currently under development. This is an unofficial app for Hubitat®. The developer is not associated with Hubitat®. Please use the Hubitat community thread for questions and comments. https://community.hubitat.com/t/hubitat-app-for-garmin-watches/133559. A limited number of devices is supported initially. Requirements: A Hubitat® hub with the Maker API app installed (see Setup). Features: - View and control the hub's mode. - View and control the Hubitat® Safety Monitor. - View devices by allocated room. - View device status (open/closed, on/off, present/not present, battery etc.). - Send device commands (on/off, brightness, temperature etc.). - Set devices as favourites, for easier access. - Glance widget for display of mode and HSM without opening the app. Setup: This app uses the Maker API app running on your Hubitat Elevation hub. Instructions for installing and setting up the Maker API app are here: https://docs2.hubitat.com/apps/maker-api Once the Maker API app is configured on your hub, the app’s URL and access token (from the examples at the bottom of Maker API app page on your hub) need to be entered into the HubWatch settings in Garmin Connect. The URL will be something like this (don’t include the quotes) “https://cloud.hubitat.com/api/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/apps/xx/” (including the trailing '/'. The access token will be something like this (don’t include the quotes) “xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx”. The HubWatch Garmin app will only have visibility of modes and devices that are enabled in the Maker API app. Once the URL and token are entered in the app, if you subsequently add or remove devices in the Maker API app then these changes will be picked up automatically by the HubWatch Garmin app the next time it is opened.
