-The [[https://hubitat.com/|Hubitat]] is a ZWave and ZigBee hub that can be connected to XTension via the new Hubitat plugin. This plugin is currently in beta and you should not convert your entire Z-Wave network to one as it is not feature complete as of this writing. It offers a choice for ZWave connectivity in XTension beyond the older Vera units that we will continue to support. As of this moment both the plugin as well as the support for local connectivity in the Hubitat itself are under construction and so features and functions may continue to be added or removed as the protocols develop. Note that currently the plugin is not as feature complete as the Vera plugin and given that I don't know what will get added to the Hubitat protocols or when it may never be. Switching between the 2 devices cannot yet be done as a simple conversion from one plugin to the other. See more info below.

+====Potential Issues:====
+  * I cannot currently get my Hubitat to recognize some older ZWave 1 switches. They can be added only as a “Device” and are not controllable. Changing the device type in the Hubitat to a generic dimmer or switch does show the rest of the controls but they cannot be successfully controlled.
+  * As of this moment only click and double click and click and hold appear to be able to captured to the central scene handler. Many switches support more than that. This appears to be a limitation in the MakerAPI as of this writing.
+  * The enumerations for things like Thermostat Modes are different than the Vera. To avoid confusion you should script them via the newer [[dictionary:unitinformation:enumeratedvalue|Enumerated Value]] capabilities of XTension so that you can do things like:
+<code AppleScript>
+set value of “Thermostat Mode Unit” to “cool”
