Executing Scene on multiple locations

I looked in couple of places but I couldn’t seem to find any information on how to actually get another devices from another hub/location to work with another…

There aren’t many ways; SmartThings is explicitly architected to not allow interaction between Things of different Locations. … WebCoRE and IFTTT and ActionTiles are a few ways; but each with limitations.

However, the architecture actually allows multiple Hubs to belong to the same Location! … yet there is no UI provided for adding multiple Hubs to a single Location.

But a “hack” method has been discovered and shared…

Multiple hubs at single location functional (V2)

You can set up multiple hubs but you need to start from scratch with a new location with no hubs created from the WEB interface. Then you need to log in from multiple IOS and/or Android devices and use each one to add a new hub at the same time. Make sure you start the process on all devices at the same time so each device adds a hub first. Once added it all works seamlessly. I saw the comment about not being able to control a device from multiple hubs but this is a non issue. The reason you want multiple hubs is because you cannot span the whole location with one mesh so one device, one hub is fine. Putting all devices n one location is all you need. You don’t care which hub it is you are only looking at the device.
