-**NOTE:** there was bug or some issue in some Hubitat versions that would take a long time to resolve the hubitat.local address. This would delay our initial connecting to the device as well as delay sending of any commands to the device. Later version of the Hubitat firmware have implemented the ability to set a static IP address and I recommend that you do this rather than rely on the local mDNS address. Then place the IP address into the Address field rather than the “hubitat.local” default.+**NOTE: there is problem that causes very slow performance when using the hubitat.local address.

 If you have setup local access security on the Hubitat check the "Send Authentication" checkbox and enter the user and password. If you have setup local access security on the Hubitat check the "Send Authentication" checkbox and enter the user and password.
