Yeah, got that e-mail as well. Same company that brought to market this piece of shite:
What an odd acquisition.

Yep, it's definitely all CADs fault...wonder how many here he has influenced towards Wink?

Not me! I sure did a Smart Thing.

I was actually wondering what was up with Wink the other day. You have all these companies like Nest coming out with new innovative products and nothing from Wink.

I told my in-laws to buy a Wink hub a couple months ago as well. Hoping Wink can just continue operating as normal. But if not, oh well. It's just another hub I'd have to buy, and of course reconfigure all my shite.

I don't think anything will change. Hopefully this is just Will shoring up his line with a proven product, after that failure you posted above, and just let it keep on doing it's thing. But like you, I've been pushing it, however no one I've told has been ready to take the plunge.
That's why it was dammit cad and not fricking cad when I read the email.

Will.I.Am is at the point of his career where he has the disposable income to throw at basically whatever he wants. Be it a terrible smartwatch (or two) or an insipid iPhone case, he's thrown cash at a variety of money pits. Now, he has another one to add to his list: A smart home platform. His i.am+ company has acquired Wink, which makes hubs for connected household devices.
The news comes by way of an email sent to Wink users (spotted by Hacker News). "Our teams are in the process of coming together to shape our future roadmap and we can't wait to share what we're working on," the email apparently said. It goes on that current Wink hardware and software won't be affected. Kind of like Will.i.am's career or bank account if this venture doesn't pan out.
