¶ Settings
¶ Overview
The Settings page contains useful hub information, links to change settings, and ways to safely reboot or shut down your hub. This document contains a list and description of all the options.
¶ Hub Interface Settings (A)
These two options appear at the top of the page (labeled A in the screenshot above) and apply to the entire web-based interface of the hub.
-
Enable screen reader for visually impaired access - Enabling this option improves the use of the UI with screen-reading software like JAWS. Do not enable this option unless you are using such software.
-
Show advanced/developer options - Enabling this option shows the "For Developers" section in the left-side sidebar of the hub interface, exposing the Apps Code, Drivers Code, Libraries Code, and Bundles menu items. This option also displays the State Variables section on the Commands tab of device detail pages, allowing users or developers to inspect the current value of
state(oratomicState) keys.
Both of these options are disabled by default.
