 ====Hubitat Setup:====
-Follow the standard initial Hubitat setup. A cloud connection is not required for XTension to talk to the Hubitat, all communications are done over the local network and so it is necessary that the Hubitat and the XTension be on the same local network subnet. If you have a more complex networking setup and need to specify the local address that it should tell the Hubitat to send push updates to please let me know and I can prioritize that to be added in a future plugin version.
+Follow the standard initial Hubitat setup. A cloud connection is not required for XTension to talk to the Hubitat, all communications are done over the local network and so it is necessary that the Hubitat and the XTension be on the same local network subnet. Earlier Hubitat OS versions did not support the setting of a static IP but more recent ones do.
+>**You should give the Hubitat a static IP address either via the built in network settings or via a reserved DHCP address on your router. The local network lookup of “hubitat.local” can be very slow and cause noticeable delays in all communication and control.**
