Last nail in the coffin for this prestigious blackeyed peas company.

Need something else for my Z-wave devices. Recommendations?

I just ordered a SmartThings hub. No clue how good it is, but I assume it’ll be around longer.

I only have one thing that uses my Wink hub so moving will be easy. Also need suggestions... The device I use is compatible with Nexia and SmartThings. I use Alexa for voice control and have 5 Echoes and soon an Echo Show 5.. so integration with Alexa is a must.

I would probably go with a DIY hub with open source software if you want to avoid having to change to something new every couple of years.

I've been using a Samsung Smartthings hub for nearly 2 years now. I had 0 problems transitioning from Wink to Samsung as far as getting devices paired and setting up routines. The interface is different, but overall it is easy to learn.

Like some of the others have said, if you want a more DIY approach, look at Home Assistant for an alternative. It'll require local hardware (either your PC or lighter device), but ultimately you've separated yourself from the cloud in the process.
