Is there a way that the app can log into a hidden WiFi signal? I would like to keep my WiFi hidden and it seems that the app demands that the WiFi SSID broadcast.

I don’t think so but…

Have you tried turning on the Broadcast SID, connecting the Hub, then turning it off?

I’m currently having some other issues getting into the Access Point. I plan on trying that option later.

We do have this feature on the roadmap, but right now @GaryFunk’s work-around is your best bet!

That worked for me. Hid the SSID after getting connected and the hub is still on WiFi.
