Integration with Wink Hub

[ggalt]

Has anyone tried using a Wink Hub to control Insteon products? I can't seem to find any discussion of it anywhere. I believe the Wink Hub talks Z-Wave and Zigbee protocols, but I'm reasonably certain Insteon doesn't use those. I'm not sure about X-10 protocol. Any thoughts?

INSTEON, X10, Zigbee and Z-Wave all use a different protocol. None speak to each other. Some controllers can communicate to different protocols, but the devices themselves don't. There are exceptions, for example, some INSTEON devices can be set up for X10, but the X10 doesn't send or receive INSTEON signals and vice-versa.

There are many platforms that do this for you. You don't need to use different apps for your smart home products! Sensorflare is a cloud based that helps you to control all your smart things using only one app. And the most remarkable??? It speaks many language from Insteon, X10 until ZigBee and Z-Wave... Take a look! I believe that is a great startup in the market of IoT

@vasiliou, if you're the Evi Vasiliou that works for sensorflare, I think it's important that you state that openly. I visited the website and cannot find any clear information about how this program connects to things such as my hue bridge or insteon hub. Also, you neglected to mention that if I want real time control over things, it's going to cost me $20/month. Honestly, this sensorflare business looks like vaporware to me.

We need Insteon enabled in Wink hubs.

This post seems to get a fair amount of traffic from Wink users looking to integrate with Wink or vice versa. While we would very much like to see them support Insteon, the best way to get this accomplished is through customers asking them to support us. We encourage you to reach out to Wink and let them know: @TheWinkApp @WinkSupport or for those on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/wink/ - Thanks for all your interest!
