I think the closest you can do is set a schedule in the Chamberlain app. You can probably accomplish it using Wink Node Red though if you want to get more advanced (no clue if it has that capability)

Pretty simple with smart things. If, of course, your garage is compatible with smart things.

Hey guys,
Would like some info on the Wink Relay...
As I said in my previous post I'm looking to put a smart switch on the wall where I currently do not have a switch. This smart switch would control some smart plugs that lamps are plugged into.
Home Depot has the Relay for $70 right now, so I think I'd like to use that.
My wall doesn't have a switch but on the other side of the wall it does. I'm thinking I can splice the source hot/neutral from that switch and run it to the Relay pretty easily. That should give the Relay power.
However, since there is no switch that I'm replacing, I won't have a load wire to hook up. Since the relay buttons can be configured as "smart", I think this will give me what I'm looking for...
Seems too easy though, where am I going wrong? Does anyone know if this won't work for some reason?

You would still need a Wink Hub if you were to use the relay. Only select Zigbee items can pair directly to the Relay.
Another option is to look into the Zwave minimote. I believe you can associate certain items together, so then you would have a remote that can control the lights.

Haven't had one of these in awhile: Chamberlain MyQ Garage door opener-same model as last year's clearance
I had bought 19 when they were at the $50 mark.

Yeah, planning on pairing everything to the wink hub 2 and using the Relay to control things.
Seems like all of the complaints with the Relay being really slow have to do with people pairing their devices directly to the Relay. People who use it with the hub are much more satisfied.

I don't think I'm reading that right. You saying you got the chamberlain garage door opener that's normally $99 for under $6?

I currently have 3 relays installed with 2 more in boxes. They only slow part for me is the responsiveness of the actual android screen.

Haha, not quite. I got a ~$180 complete garage door opener with MyQ built in for a penny.

Hey guys, just a heads up.
These iHome smart plugs are on sale for $28 at Bed Bath and Beyond.
LINK
They are compatible with pretty much everything (Wink, Smartthings, Homekit) and are wifi, so you don't need a hub.
Just got mine in today, set them up on my wink app (I don't have my Wink hub yet) and set them up with homekit as well.
I just had my first demolition man moment...Told my google home to "illuminate" and my lamps came on!
Anyway, first impressions on these guys are good and they are cheap.

Hopefully you used a wad of 20% coupons at BBB for those?
For the secrets on HD penny items, you have to read this entire thread... It's buried somewhere in there

Walmart ihome plug
This is an old deal, so they are probably sold out. Previous ihome version for $10 at walmart.

Are the i-home 5 solid? Reviews are shite but i've heard some good things on here.
Posted on 12/29/16 at 4:35 pm to LSU5508
No use trying to pair them with an android phone, but work great when connected using iphone. Haven't had any issues with mine.

A guy on Reddit told me today that Home Depot confirmed to him that the Wink enabled Hampton Bay dual fan and light controller will be released at Home Depot the third week of January. Hoping this is in fact true as I have atleast 4 fans I could use it on immediately.

Ive heard of nothing but trouble pairing those so far. I would wait before purchasing for them to work out the kinks.
Eta:see, that guy said he blew up his module too. Something isn't right with them.
