re: Official WINK HUB Home Automation thread

sorry guys..been busy. y'all are gonna run me out of town on a rail if this doesn't go as planned.

i'm working with the guy who has the android app; actually told him i'm willing to sacrifice 2 of my hubs to the cause if we can get his tool to work.

i have one rooted hub, but its not the best experience because of the fact i have to roll back the wink app on my phone to add devices.

with nash's android app, if he finishes the UI to add devices locally (no cloud dongle) then the firmware its running is less relevant since you can go back & forth between the normal wink cloud..or your local hub adding directly to it.

long term you want newer firmware updates so the other piece to the puzzle is using the root admin to manually update firmware without losing root access.

ideally this app should do both; root your wink and also allow for admin updates to the firmware.

finally, the sql-injection script guy has been doing some tests and that may provide a second way to gain root; even if the firmware removed the dev user exploit.

i'm hoping for that 'one button' app so i don't have to type up a 10 page essay on the rooting process.
