Two hubs same location?

Is there a way to add a second hub to my system and have that second hub share information with the main hub so that when setting the security mode the sensors on the 2nd hub trigger a security alert?

The new SmartThings App allows multiple Hubs to be added to one Location. Once the Hub is added, you can use the Classic SmartThings App and see you Things from both Hubs in that one Location too.

SmartThings officially does not recommend this, but does not specify the consequences or risks.

I think it is worth a try. The data structures and so on are all in place for it to work. So if there are any bugs, they are buried and not a fundament design limitation.

It won’t work with the ADT model hubs for their security features. Those operate separately from SHM.

You can talk to people in the following thread who have the ADT hub and have been using it.
