You're going to be naming devices as you set them up.  Avoid special characters % $ : , . # < > / \ { } [ ] @ ` ' "

The forum is good, though the software takes some time to learn its nuances. I start here
https://community.hubitat.com/latest

But work right-to-left if there are 'Unread' or 'New', then scan 'Latest'.

>nuance
Click the number of replies (3rd column from right on desktop) and it'll show links to both first and last post.

>software
It suffers from ajax overload, glitzy features, and mediocre nav ui, but the content is worth the pain.

Like compound interest, attrition is a helluva force.  And it lets company PR departments make technically true bullshit statements.

>How can you tell if the are Hubitat compatible

I usually pick devices that have been mentioned as installed & working in forum threads. My device needs so far have been pretty simplistic.  But I did screw up and buy a keypad that was a new version (v3) thinking that it was the version HE had working.  As mentioned upstream, the devs are adding devices at a blazing pace, so I just put it aside and waited rather than whine for help in the forum.  Looks like they've fixed it.

IIRC, at one of the early pubcons at the Islington the rate was $1.31/pound.  The euro was at 1/1.

I haven't followed it in detail, but I believe some wifi devices are being converted to local network.  Search on TP-Link.

It's confusing at first, all the various SH 'channels.' I bought a few wall outlets and a couple of switches (z-wave, so I ended up not using them). Getting a table lamp to come on at sunset was how I began the trial-and-error & testing phase.
