Best answer
Those that still rock WINK, rather it be V1 or V2, need to start prepping to move to another hub. It will eventually be offline for good.

What is the best thing to replace with? Other than the main server being down sometimes I've had great success adding things to my hub and the integration with Alexa is great.

That’s a matter of perception. ST had been pretty damn solid for me and many of peeps i know personally. I run well over 100 devices with no real issues. Normal stuff is switched that may drop off the system but that’s more of a switch issue with polling. It’s pretty vast on what you can do now with old and new app. All up to you. WINK is a hub that is buggy as hell and been trash for awhile. I can say that with owning one and helping another that owned one. Was a nightmare for a long time. The company will be lucky to make it into 2021.

Thanks for the perspective. I may switch to one when the Wink finally dies.

Well, that explains it, but I love the ad choice though.

Have a couple of fluorescent tube lights in my bathroom that I was hoping to use a smart switch to automate, but I got a tip that they don’t work well together and have even caused them to burnout quickly.
