hubitat-dev

Move every app reference from an old Hubitat device onto a new one — via Settings → Swap Device where possible, a virtual-device bridge or parking slot where the swap list blocks it, and a guided manual re-select where neither works. Use when the user wants to swap, migrate, replace, or move a device's references to a different device, re-home a device to a different hub over Hub Mesh, or asks why a device does not appear in the Swap Device list.

Diagnose Hubitat Z-Wave and Zigbee network problems — ghost/failed nodes, packet errors, weak routes, dead or unjoined Zigbee devices, devices that stopped responding to commands, a broken hub-mesh link, an unhealthy mesh. Use when the user wants to check mesh health, find ghost nodes, debug a flaky/slow/dead Z-Wave or Zigbee device, or figure out why the radio network misbehaves.

Safely remove a Hubitat device — enumerate where it's used, warn about the blast radius before deleting, verify references cleared after, and re-wire them onto a replacement device. Use when the user wants to remove, delete, retire, or replace a device, or asks what a device is used by before deleting it.

Update Z-Wave device firmware on a Hubitat hub via the native zwaveJS updater — discover installed versions, find vendor-latest firmware, stage it, and batch-flash safely with a radio-hang watchdog. Use when the user wants to update/flash device firmware, check which devices are behind on firmware, or fix a device whose issue a firmware update addresses.

Tail a Hubitat hub's live log or event websocket, filtered, and interpret it against the code to diagnose an app or driver. Use when the user wants to debug, watch logs, tail the log stream, see live events, or figure out why a Hubitat app/driver misbehaves.

Deploy a Hubitat app or driver's Groovy source to a hub and confirm it saved and runs by watching the log stream. Use when the user wants to deploy, push, upload, or install app/driver code onto a Hubitat hub, or iterate the edit-deploy-check loop.

Manage the hubs.json config that records how to reach each Hubitat hub by IP for code operations. Actions — init a config, add a hub, set the default hub, remove a hub, list hubs. Use when the user wants to configure, register, add, or list Hubitat hubs for deploy/pull/debug.

Run the Hubitat sandbox linter on app or driver Groovy and judge each finding — real defect vs. false positive — before the code goes near a hub. Use when the user wants to lint, check, or validate Hubitat code, or automatically before deploying.

Generate a correct Hubitat app or driver skeleton from declared capabilities, with the required lifecycle callbacks, subscription/schedule idioms, and logging conventions wired in. Use when starting a new Hubitat app or driver, or when the user asks to create/scaffold/bootstrap Hubitat Groovy code.

Set up and run offline unit tests for a Hubitat app or driver — load the script under biocomp/hubitat_ci, mock the platform executor, and assert on sendEvent/log/parse output off-hub. Use when the user wants to test, unit-test, mock, or add CI for Hubitat Groovy code.
