Ok, this has probably been asked here before, but is there something available that will just give me a CHIRP if the door opens? I do get the notifications on my phone, but I'd love to have a device in the house that would chirp based on trigger (door opens, motion sensor, etc). I do not want...

Agree...GREAT list. Anyone using iOS App 2.9.0.5 keep getting logged out of the app? I probably use the app 2-3x per day, just checking various things, and it seems just about every time I end up logged out for some reason. Also, my link lights have stopped polling correctly when my wife...

ALL of my GE Link Lights re-pair without issue when theyve been turned off at the switch. I have had NO issue with this. My wife and son turn off the switches all the times and I've had no issues with them reconnecting once the switch is turned back on.

Honestly Dave: The Gizmodo review was pretty much spot on with my experience. I'm willing to say that here, and not linking to my own blog to generate traffic.

Why is my smart home so F-ing dumb (over at Gizmodo) ??

My hub updated yesterday to 0.56. Lights do seem to be more responsive. Funny, I have a robot set up on the tripper for my front door. It never ever works. Most of the other tripper robots work about 85% of the time. Most all of my tripper batteries are reporting "yellow" now. They've been...

Three tripper batteries indicating nearly dead now. Nothing has actually stopped working, just shows up on the status page.

Earlier someone had posted Ben Kaufmann's Linked in profile, and this guy was connected to him. And he does have his profile listed as the Wink at Quirky Head of Engineering, not just for Quirky. Responsible for which products I have no idea...Looks like all (most) of the folks that are...

So would it be worth filling this guy's linked in inbox with emails about how they need to get their act together?

My tripper with the low battery is in my garage where it has been fairly cold (Texas cold) since I installed them. However it is also less than 10 feet from a Link bulb. Funny thing, I called Quirky to get a return authorization for all my wink products on Thursday. The agent on the phone...

But it HAS to work! I'm still waiting for the battery on my garage door to die. It's the farthest thing in my house from the hub. There's a GE Link PAR38 bulb a few feet closer, but it's got power all the time. Wasn't someone saying that the Link bulbs should act as a repeater? Are the...

Ok...so a hub reboot fixed it all. Maybe i'll plug my hub into a wemo switch so i can do remote reboots of it. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Just once I'd like to come on here and brag about how great this system is.

It just occurred to me that all my wink products are "Quirky". Just got off the phone with them (hardly any wait...which is a first for me) and it appears that I should be able return everything. What's the deal with Home Kit? There were a few homekit items released at CES this week, but...

ok...whatever WINK has done now (iOS app update this morning) has completely broken everything in my house. Think I'm going to try to call and insist they take everything back. I've had my hub and pivot power genius for just over 30 days, but my link bulbs and trippers less. Will post here...

Happens EVERY time I open the Wink app on my phone. EVERY SINGLE TIME And I just realized I'm past my 30 days for returning this half baked crap. I was hoping for simple robot functionality like: ...if my driveway light is on for more than 10 minutes, turn it off. ...if I'm home and it's...
