Ratings and reviews

Awful. Switched to an overpriced subscription model, with next to no warning, in the middle of a pandemic. They advertised the hardware on the fact that there were no subscriptions. They haven't even had the hardware that the app controls available to purchase for over a year. Their competitors offer better reliability, better support, and actually have product available for less than half the monthly cost of the Wink subscription. (And they will help you port your devices over.) Goodbye Wink.

App is buggy. Great when it works but it doesn't work when I need it to. Additionally I recieved a notification via the app that they were going to start charging for a subscription service but when I went to find the message, I couldn't find it. I would hope they would send this sort of information in an email. The hub was expensive enough; if they're going to start charging to use this service (one that only intermittently works at that), I'll find a different solution than Wink.

Not a very stable platform. Before they added the subscription fee, I was willing to put up with the intermittent moodiness of the Wink system (sometimes it works, other times you wait, ok, didn't work, reset their base station, still not working ok, I'll just use the lightswitch). You would think that now being a subscription model, the system would be more dependable. Nope. Still very temperamental. Disappointing. Go with a different platform that is dependable.
