Hubitat Elevation C-8

The Hubitat Elevation C-8 is a local-processing smart home hub supporting Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave (800 series radio with long-range support), and Matter controller functionality. This hub runs automations locally without cloud dependency, ensuring your smart home continues functioning during internet outages. The 1.4GHz processor and 1GB RAM handle complex automations with responsive performance.

The hub connects via Ethernet or WiFi to your network while communicating with devices through built-in Zigbee and Z-Wave radios with external antennas for improved range. Matter controller support enables managing Matter-certified devices alongside traditional Zigbee and Z-Wave equipment. The web-based interface provides comprehensive device management, automation rules, and dashboard creation.

Integration with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit (via built-in integration) enables voice control while maintaining local automation execution. The active community provides custom drivers for devices beyond the extensive built-in compatibility list. For privacy-conscious users and smart home enthusiasts wanting reliable local control with multi-protocol support, Hubitat provides a powerful alternative to cloud-dependent hubs.
