2 Hubs 1 Mobile App

If you add 2 hubs (2 “locations”) into 1 App, can a routine interact with both hubs?

Unfortunately, no.

There is a way to do it with two webcore Pistons, but you have to set up virtual proxies for all the devices and it all gets pretty complicated. And it adds additional lag.

If you haven’t heard of web core before, it is a community – created rules engine for SmartThings which is very powerful. Setup can be quite complicated, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you if you choose to go that route.

FAQ: What is WebCoRE? (And what was CoRE?)

CoRE (now WebCore) is a very powerful community – created rules engine for SmartThings. It allows you to set up stacked conditionals like “If A then B but only while C and not if D.” Setting it up can be quite complex, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you. For example, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time.

This allows for flexibility and an architecture that requires more memory than is av…

There is further discussion of this method and a couple of other methods for coordinating multiple locations in the how to article on automating an outbuilding in the community – created wiki.

So the short answer is that you can’t do it with any of the official features. There are some unofficial ways to coordinate events at two locations, but they aren’t very easy and they do create some additional delays.
