Paul,
 
Thanks for reaching out. The local hub is currently out of stock, and we don’t have an estimated arrival date for the next shipment at this time. Please check again next month or so.

Thanks for the heads up!   Just ordered mine as well.

Do we have a level of confidence that the YoLink node server works with the new hub?

I have a beta release i can provide.   a new node is needed to support local integration.  it should run fine with existing node if no local integration is needed

note i am travelling so supporting the beta node will be slower and more difficult as i do not have access to my setup

@Panda88 I’d love to start playing with a beta now that my hub is here within days. Understand the limited support with you travelling, but could start generating questions and feedback for discussion. I’d also like to play a bit myself with some direct programming to understand it, your beta will be a useful jump start for that. 
thanks again for your work on this ahead of us, your current plugin is well integrated in my system.

aounds good.  ill try to get access to internet (vpn) and release as a beta today (i hope)

there is limited difference from the original node besides the need for a different authorization 

[Panda88]

may not be until tomorrow. i cannot get my VPN stable

So, does one simply add the new hub to the account and replace the existing credentials and secret key in the node server with a new one from the app once the new hub added?

you need new node. you keep the existing uuid and secret but need to add the local key as well. ( see earliervin thread how to get it)

the hub will work as existing hub without the local key   once added (with the new node server) and devices are made local (on uolink app) it should work as existing app.

Just pushed the YolinkLocalBe to the non-production node store 

You need to enter IPaddress and SUBNET_ID,  local client_id and local_client_secret (from Yolink app) 
Set mode to hybrid (probably not needed any more) - there is no true local mode - it communicated through the hub to the internet and only allows local operation if internet is not connected -
