Hobson Hub
- Daniel Noguerol
In order to use Hobson, you will need to install the Hub software on a computer in your home or business.
The latest Hub installer downloads can be found here:
The default password for the Hub is username "admin" and password "admin". Please run through the configuration wizard to change it.
Note: The current builds are using the "beta web interface". While it is fully functional, it does not represent the usability that Hobson is trying to achieve. A new web interface is in the works but is going to take time to get right. In the meantime, the current interface is being maintained and enhanced to allow you to use Hobson to its current full capability and help test all other aspects of the system.
