Attach both external antennas to your hub. Position them vertically, pointing straight up, for the best performance.
Connect the hub to the power supply using the included USB cable.
Choose how you want to connect your Hubitat Elevation hub to your home network.
Connect your Hubitat Elevation hub to your router using the included Ethernet cable. Make sure both ends are securely connected.
Plug the power supply into a power outlet and wait for your hub to start up.
The LED indicator will turn blue and then green. Startup usually takes about 3 minutes.
Complete steps 7–9 only if you selected Wi-Fi.
Skip this section if you connected with Ethernet. Continue to Hub Discovery below.

In your phone or tablet’s Wi-Fi settings, find and connect to the MyNewHubitat wireless network.
