Wink Hub (1st Gen)

Description

Cloud-dependent hub with frequent outages and uncertain support. Company ownership changed several times; core services unreliable according to community. This device no longer works reliably with Home Assistant and should not be used for new setups.

Highlights

  • First-generation Wink smart home hub with Z-Wave, Zigbee HA 1.2, Bluetooth LE, Lutron Clear Connect, and Wi-Fi radios.
  • All automations and integrations depend on the Wink cloud service; local control is extremely limited.
  • Wink introduced a mandatory subscription in 2020 and has endured repeated outages, leaving homes offline.

The cloud API that Home Assistant once relied on is now unstable and often unreachable—avoid this platform for new setups.

Depends on the Wink cloud API, which is now paywalled and unreliable; Home Assistant can no longer maintain a stable connection.
