Can the Hue hub obsolete my wink hub?

no, it works "with" the wink hub.

actually, it doesn't even do that. you simply 'log in' to your hue account in the wink app and you're using their API to control all the hue lights, set colors, etc. it would still work even if you don't have a wink hub at all.

- the hue app is meh
- alexa & google home are awesome with hue since you can change colors, etc. via voice
- wink is great with hue because you can set colors, etc. via robots & schedules
- IFTTT adds all the cool stuff like changing the lights to LSU colors whenever the tigers are on TV or changing the lights to blue when it starts raining outside.

hue colored lights are the favorite 'smart' thing in my house and i have over 100 smart things hooked up now.
