We’re writing to provide you with some clarity on a recent Wink service disruption that affected your home between the hours of 12:40pm ET and 11:00pm ET on April 18th.
 
Due to a security measure that was initially put in place to protect you and your family, your Wink Hub lost its connection to the internet for an extended period of time.   
 
This service disruption was completely preventable and fairly embarrassing. We failed to make an update to a security measure that was expiring. Because it was not updated, it therefore locked down your Hub’s access to the server.




Others were not so lucky?? Wtf does that even mean?

And why are you just now sending this to me today when this happened 11 days ago??

I'm one of the not-so-lucky group. Had the yellow light this weekend, but I had had my hub uplugged while moving furniture so I thought it was my issue and found out by seeing a random tweet on it. Initially the only fix was to mail in the hub. They came up with a fix last night if the user is tech savy enough to play with DNS addresses. Fixed mine this way.

A really good reason that I am only adding products to my ecosystem that are compatible with multiple controllers.
