Supposedly they have users that aren't very smart, so these services are supposed to assist these types. This first option would be for people who travel a lot.

I imagine this is for when people go on vacation, so that someone staking out the house thinks that someone's home

I ordered some that I'm going to use in a similar fashion. But it looks incredibly easy.

Amazon has the osram gardenspot kit on sale for $31. They say you can use that controller to hook some cheaper rgbw light strips.

What's the general consensus on wink. I bought a smartthings hub but am not overly impressed yet.

I'm in the process of moving all of my robots to stringify. The rseponse time has been consistently quicker so far. It also allows for more complex actions. It's only available for iphone right though.

anyone else get contacted by wink?

i'm doing some type of video-conferencing webex with them next week for a new product or feature in return for amazon gift cards.

they even sent me an NDA to sign so i'm pretty excited

i hope we get some new features that will breathe new life into the product.
