Pros & Cons

Pros

Wink is a great way to enter the home automation arena without paying a monthly fee like with nexia. The app is very easy to use, and i love setting up shortcuts.

No doubt these problems will eventually be resolved. This is an area i am really watching for an update to improve functionality. A fresh reboot usually fixes everything.

Ecolink motion this works fine, the only problem i have with it is the robot app in wink. The page to create the robot has section labeled when this robot detects.

Once you download the app it walks you through the setup. It's a push notification on my iphone that lets me know something is going on.



Cons

Version 1 hub is just * in my opinion. According to other reviewers, this hub is not even compatible with all z-wave devices.

Well this is where the problems began light flashes 3 times to indicate it was connected but the app never made it past step 6 of 7

Price


This product is excellent for its price range


By far the least expensive and easiest way to home automation


It was 30 basically the price of two bulbs with a free hub


Also i picked this up at hd for 69

Shipping


The units from amazon had to be sent in for a firmware update


I would have given the product five stars but the customer service wait time is very long

Competitiveness


Wink does a great job adding features and is one of the best companies as keeping their users aware of any issues


They said that the current ge bulbs does do not work with the ge link hub because the company that made those hubs for ge is ou...  Read More


Comparer to revolv it gives more features for the connected device such as a thermostat but it can not connect to insteon devices


Every brand seems to pair a bit differently with the leviton devices being the number one product to control

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i have played around with the wink hub after having first used the philips hue hub second version and the smart bridge for lutron 2


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That noted again it isnt perfect


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unlike my smart bridge if the internet goes down then remote control of the lights goes down too


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But to be clear you can still use the physical switches for control


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also for schedules the lutron app is a bit better with the ability to choose a key off point related to sunrise or sunset which you cant seem to do with the wink app


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have had the hub for about 4 months now


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have two ecobee thermostats about a dozen dimmer or nondimming switches and a chamerlain garage door opener


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have had a couple of occassions where the hub has gone off line
