hubitat

node-red-contrib-hubitat is a collection of nodes that enables seamless integration between Node-RED and Hubitat's Maker API. It allows users to control and monitor their Hubitat-based smart home devices, modes, and safety monitor statuses through Node-RED's visual programming interface.

Key Features

• Device Control — Send commands to Hubitat devices and maintain real-time device state via webhook events.
• Safety Monitor Integration — Monitor and set Hubitat Safety Monitor (HSM) statuses like Armed Home, Armed Away, and Disarmed.
• Mode Management — Track and change Hubitat modes (e.g., Day, Night) with dedicated nodes.
• Event Handling — Receive global location events (e.g., sunrise, sunset) and generic events via specialized nodes.
• Generic API Requests — Interact with any Hubitat API endpoint using a flexible request node.
• Global Device Cache — Maintains a synchronized cache of device states, with options to refresh via flow restarts or simulated system events.

Philosophy

The plugin is designed to abstract Hubitat's API complexities, providing a consistent interface for both REST API calls and event-driven updates, while ensuring reliable communication through request throttling and error handling.
