Anyone else notice Hubitat's price went up from 89. 99 to 129. 99 since Wink's subscription announcement? Talk about taking advantage of a situation. SmartThings has never looked so appealing

That's annoying, I've had one sitting in my Amazon cart for a few weeks contemplating buying it

I'm with you Tom. Had it in my cart for a while too. I was a happy Wink customer, but no way in hell am I paying a subscription fee to a company who gives their customers a one week notice. Just don't know which platform to switch to now.

There value just increased - it shows the value to a local controller vs BS cloud control. I already bought at $80 but I applaud them for knowing there value and market. Winks new business model just drove up Hubitats value - this isn’t Hubitat being greedy this is them charging a more than fare price for a local controller. If you want to talk price gauging - look at what HomeSeer charges for a controller!
