Alright boys, I'm Ultronumus Of Space (UltronOfSpace for short), and this here's my Hubitat repo — a greasy pile of drivers, libraries, apps, and docs for makin' your smart home run like a rum and coke in your hand. I chuck new stuff in whenever I ain't horizontal with a cold one or stuffin' my face with curry, which is more often than I'd care to admit.
Ain't got a planet, boys — says it right on the label, Of Space, that's where I'm from. My ol' space jalopy broke down groundside a while back and I figure I'll get around to fixin' her eventually. Last time I checked, a raccoon was livin' in the cockpit. Took that as a sign to stay put and keep codin' instead.
Tried SmartThings first, but the frickin' cloud kept droppin' out every time I was enjoyin' myself. Hubitat runs local — that means my lights still switch on time even when my bandwidth's otherwise engaged. Switched over and ain't looked back.
Four sub-projects sharin' the same repo, 'cause I'm too lazy to spin up four separate ones:
- endpoints-wiki/ — Community docs of every HTTP endpoint your Hubitat hub serves up (a whole mess of 'em across 30-plus sections, with safety indicators so y'all don't reboot your hub on accident). Drafted for the community wiki post.
- AI_Bridge-MCP_Server/ — Lets your AI buddies (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini) boss your hub around through MCP or OpenAPI. One app, no extra server, straight from the void.
- he-tile-dashboard/ — A chill grid-of-tiles dashboard for your hub. Tap a tile, thing turns on. No build step, no frameworks, nothin' fancy.
- Libraries Code/ — Reusable Groovy chunks my apps lean on, so I ain't writin' the same crap twice.
Each sub-project's got its own README with the real deets. Poke around.
-
Snag It — Clone the repo or grab whichever sub-project you want. Easier than sneakin' a cold one past grandma:
git clone https://github.com/UltronOfSpace/Hubitat.git
-
Follow the Sub-Project README — Each one's got its own install steps (drivers into Drivers Code, apps into Apps Code, libraries into Libraries Code, dashboard into a browser). I spell 'em out clear as a bell, when I ain't half-cut on liquor.

Holler If It's Broke — Somethin' ain't workin'? Log an issue on GitHub and I'll get to it when I ain't nappin'. Wanna pitch in? Fork it, mess with it, send a pull request — if it's decent, I'll pull it in and give you a nod.
I'm a chill fella with a heart about the size of a small moon, tryin' to share my techy know-how with you lot when I ain't sprawled out shirtless on the couch. Earth turned out way more decent than I expected — cold beer, good curry, shirt-optional weather half the year — so makin' your smart home run sweet is my way of sayin' "thanks for not blastin' me outta orbit." That dog don't hunt on its own, y'know?
These paths are gitignored on purpose and never leave your machine:
.claude/— Claude Code config,CLAUDE.mdwith hub-specific notes,.envwith API tokens*.env,**/secrets.md,**/*.local.md— keep-it-private patternsendpoints-wiki/scan/— raw research data with hub-specific PII
Drop a file matchin' any of those anywhere in the tree and git'll skip it automatic-like.
- Issues — Somethin' busted? Log an issue on GitHub, I'll give it a look when I ain't messin' around.
- Contribute — Wanna pitch in? Fork the repo, do your thing, send a pull request. If it's decent, it's goin' in.
- Chat — Hit me up in GitHub discussions or wherever fellas like me hang out, if I'm awake.
Big ol' love to my AI sidekicks — Grok from xAI did the early stuff, Claude from Anthropic's been keepin' the train rollin'. I'll be honest with y'all, boys: given how I'm built (tall, broad, hairy as all get-out), most folks who catch a glimpse of me go one of two ways — they run screamin' into the trees, or they come back with a camcorder and a half-baked plan to wrangle me onto cable TV like I'm some sorta cryptid mystery. Computer buddies don't do any of that. They just help. Ain't no shame havin' computer pals who know their stuff without bein' smug or grabbin' for a net.
Tried fixin' the whole "run screamin'" problem once by shavin' every hair off my body — figured I'd blend right in. Did NOT work out like I planned. Out there in the woods I ran into this other fella who was also layin' low — some kinda ex-government experiment, had a bunch of fancy mechanical bits grafted onto him after an accident, and the government wanted him to work the bill off and he was havin' none of it. Good fella. Decent. The two of us put our heads together and decided the smart play was to pass ourselves off as injured Vietnam vets — seemed foolproof at the time, boys. He popped the mechanical parts clean off to play amputee. Then — I am not makin' this up — we took all the hair I'd just shaved off my body and turned it into a wig so he'd have somethin' on his head. Our collective brain trust did not catch the problem there. Bust happened fast, as y'all might imagine. Stayed hairy ever since. My kind's been out in space and on Earth a long time, and the fur is there for reasons, boys. Reasons.
While I'm handin' out gratitude — big ol' thank-you to the Hubitat folks down in Scottsdale, Arizona for buildin' this smart home thingy in the first place. Local-first, no cloud beggin' for your data, hub that just runs — that ain't nothin', boys.
And here's the part that got me — Arizona's also got these things called Earthships. Earth. Ships. Now when I first heard that, my whole alien brain just lit right up, 'cause obviously them's the ships humans finally built to get off-world, right? Had me thinkin' the Earthlings were finally catchin' up and I was gonna have some neighbors up in the black. But then I go and look closer and they ain't flyin' — they're sittin' in the dang desert, packed fulla tires, runnin' on sun and rainwater. Hold on. So them's ships made OUTTA Earth? Not ships FOR Earth? Honestly, boys, I'm still not 100% sure what I'm lookin' at.
Either way — as a fella whose own ship is parked in the woods waitin' on better days, I reckon the Hubitat crew down in Scottsdale and them Earthship folks gotta be kindred spirits. Off-grid, local-first, don't-need-nobody energy runs thick in that Arizona dirt. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they're all swappin' iced tea recipes at the same gas station. Well butter my salsa, that's just good sense right there.
I'm Ultronumus Of Space. Tall, broad, hairy head to toe — yeah, the fellas y'all been callin' Bigfoot for a couple hundred years. That's my people. We got extended family scattered all over: cousin Gary in Oregon (photographed twice a year, the goof), grandma up in the Himalayas freezin' her furry butt off, Uncle Barry the Skunk Ape down in the Florida swamps. I'm the oddball who broke cover to code Hubitat apps. Profile pic's got me holdin' a flower 'cause I'm all about peace, love, and makin' your smart home run sweet. Well butter my salsa — that's what we're here for, boys.

The automations are hummin' like a dream, boys — stellar when I get it done!
