Hubitat

Hubitat, Inc. was founded in 2016 in Scottsdale, Arizona by home-automation enthusiasts including Bruce Ravenel, with the goal of helping people elevate their environment through automation that is local, reliable, fast, and private. Its flagship Hubitat Elevation hub, which began shipping in early 2018, processes automations on the device itself rather than in the cloud, with built-in Zigbee and Z-Wave radios plus support for Matter, Lutron, and other protocols. The self-funded company has taken no outside venture capital and positions itself as the cloud-optional alternative to platforms that depend on internet connectivity to function, appealing to enthusiasts who want their home to keep working when the internet is down.
