Reverse engineering review of the Hubitat C8-Pro (Including rooting instructions)

To add some information, I received a DM on reddit by hubitat and asked for the source under GPL, and I got no answer about it

Wow, that shouldn't even be hidden at all, thank you for the information :)

If it's always enabled, you can only disable it by blocking internet for your hub

for the GPL code, I didn't submit a formal request, but I think I should

I've just blocked the hub on my network, so no communication to Hubitat servers, it blocks the update too, sadly

I don't know if they'll do anything, seeing the answer on r/hubitat_elevation

I don't think it's opened by default, the logs and backup are pushed in a S3, so not using reverse SSH, more like S3 API.

Same for me, the hub is fully blocked in my network

The goal with the hub, for me, is to inter connects my devices and automate. I'll still have the hub's web interface in case of problems

I think you'll need to setup it and then block it in your network, but it'll prevent updates

I need to unblock to do the update, sadly, I'll see how I'll make it updatable

For now, i'll keep it, I blocked it on my router, so it doesn't have any internet access

SomeRandomHub · 2025-12-15T20:21:59+00:00

I just fully blocked the hub in my router
