ok good news. VERY cool tech support. dude answered all my questions..mainly around 2 things; one of which is disappointing.

1. i can't create user profiles in the app yet because i don't have the hub setup in it. once the hub is there, i can create users (email based) and give my kids only access to the deadbolt & garage door openers, and my wife access to the thermostats...maybe

2. 'geo fencing' is one of the cool things you can use with 'robots' to make things happen like the lights come on when you get close to your house.

unfortunately for security reasons, i can't add either the 'open front door lock' or 'open garage door' based on this trigger. i will have to create shortcuts for those things.

a bit of a bummer but i get it..if you're outside playing baseball with the kids and chasing the ball down you could have the garage door going up & down like crazy as you get in and out of the 'zone'

nothing negative to report about wink so far.

Yeah, I noticed when you create a robot and location in the "when x happens" box the garage door is not an option as a result. fricking shitballs. I thought you made a statement the other day about having the garage door open when you are a block from your house?
