Hubitat's Elevation Home Automation Hub is designed to run your ZigBee and Z-Wave devices 100% locally. This concept of local control means your data is more secure and automations happen more reliably and faster. But they aren't just limited to these "local" devices, you can also integrate your LAN devices via Apps, but these will be dependent on internet connectivity and the manufacturer's servers.

I really appreciate the local control feature of Hubitat's Elevation Hub! It definitely enhances security and reliability for automations. It's great that we can also integrate LAN devices, although I hope the dependency on internet connectivity won't be a major issue.
