Does this bulb work outside? Would be nice to hook it up in the light outside my side door and be able to have a timer on it and control it with my phone.[/quote]
It isn't outdoor rated so I wouldn't put it in direct weather but covered under a carport should be ok. The only weather ra...

[quote]The solution I'm buying this week is the Illumi Bulbs and using the IFTTT proximity locator to turn on the bulbs when I, or family, get close to home. I also decorate the house with Christmas lights so these will fit in for that also. Also plan on making a IFTTT for LSU football games which w...

Do any of you fellas know of an outdoor waterproof uplight housing that allows you use your own bulb?
I want to install some landscaping uplighting that changes colors via wink. Figured the easiest way to do that would be with a housing and hue or similar bulb.

[quote] switch hub brands[/quote]
I read last night that wink doesn't do the coding work for support until a brand pays them to do it... That's why you don't have Sonos for example. Is that true? If so I might reconsider this thing which sucks because I threw the box away. ...

I've always wondered about that but that makes a ton of sense.
Have any of you guys ever heard of land scaping lights the change colors and can connect to wink or etc? I want up lights that turn purple and gold on gameday.
It's a weird hobby...

It is going to be cloud to cloud with the existing Lutron hub is my understanding.
I actually have the Lutron hub sitting in a box because it came with a kit that I bought haven't needed it with the wink. ...

Posted by bryso on 2/2/17 at 10:18 pm
I know it's just an announcement but the lack of Lutron was the deciding factor that made me go with wink. Now that it's allegedly coming im wondering if I picked wrong. Seems like smart things just has more behind it in terms of support. ...

That $60 Lutron sounds better and better.

It's done within the app so any of the wink compatible switches will do that. I have my outside lights on a sunset/sunrise schedule.

I'm debating on buying one of these. Do you guys like the particular brand you have? I'm considering waiting but I don't know what innovative new feature could possibly come out for a door lock so I may as well do it now. Assuming they are reliable. ...
