help Hubitat C-8 FAQ
What is the difference between the Hubitat C-8 and the C-7?
The Hubitat C-8 introduced an updated radio platform with improved Zigbee and Z-Wave performance compared to the C-7, along with a redesigned internal antenna layout. Both models run the same Hubitat Elevation software and support the same automation features.
Does the Hubitat C-8 require a subscription or cloud account to work?
No, the Hubitat C-8 processes all automations locally on the hub itself, meaning your rules continue to execute even without internet access. You do not need a monthly subscription, though Hubitat offers an optional cloud remote access service at no additional cost for basic features.
What protocols does the Hubitat C-8 support?
The Hubitat C-8 includes built-in radios for Zigbee and Z-Wave, which are the two most common smart home mesh protocols. It can also integrate with Wi-Fi devices and cloud-connected platforms through community and official drivers.
Can I migrate my devices from an older Hubitat hub to the C-8?
Hubitat provides a built-in migration tool that allows you to transfer your Zigbee and Z-Wave device pairings, automations, and configurations from an older hub like the C-7 to the C-8. Z-Wave device migration has historically been more reliable than Zigbee, so some re-pairing may occasionally be required.
