    The Wink home automation thread

    Interesting about the schedules being delayed. I mentioned in my post above yours that my schedules have been working great but I haven't been paying attention to the times. I know that they are turning off at the proper time but when I get the hub back up and running I will watch the on...

    The Wink home automation thread

    It has been a few days since I used the app because my schedules have been working great. But when I opened the app last night it told me that the hub needed an update. I hit go and didn't think anything else about it. However around 10:30 when my lights didn't turn off I grabbed my phone and...

    Please let us know if the Outlink works with SmartThings (you may already know if they are). I asked about it previously but no one seemed to know if they are compatible. They are the only components in my system that I am concerned that I would have to replace if Wink goes away and I have to...

    I have 2 of them, and I really like them...but I don't know if they repeat. My local Home Depot has reduced them to $29.

    Quiet around here for the past week. I keep checking in hoping to hear something about local control.

    I definitely love my connected bulb remote. I haven't tried it with shortcuts but for direct bulb control it is fantastic...and incredibly fast.

    Will the Outlink work with SmartThings? I have 2 of them and they are the only devices that I have that I consider to be non-standard. I realize the power monitoring features won't work with another system, but hoping that basic on off functionality will. I believe that they use ZigBee. By...

    Are you guys seeing server issues today? I can't seem to connect and most functions are timing out. As an aside..I bought one of the new Lutron smart bulb remotes and am eager to try it out.

    I was beta testing a Spotter UNIQ and was hoping they would go into full scale production. I had one with 3 buttons on it as I just wanted something simple to keep on the nightstand to turn off lights at bedtime. Unfortunately the UNIQ's are no longer. Does anyone know of a simple remote or...

    Thanks for the response. I hope that offsets are added in the future. Sunset is generally too late for my interior lights to come on. Using a set time is a pain as it needs to be changed every month or so.

    This may be a dumb question but here goes...is there a way that I can use the sunset function but add a plus or minus additional time to it? I want my lights to come on 30 minutes before sunset but can't figure out how to set that up? Can it be done? Thanks!

    I ordered a spotter with three buttons to go beside the bed to manually turn off the bedside lamps. Unfortunately it has been on backorder for 4 months.
