Wink Hub 2

Will the Konnected Security System Only work on the Samsung SmartThings or is it compatible with the Wink Hub 2? Wink makes a 7” touch screen pad which is Not compatible with the SmartThings hub.

I would like to second the request for Wink Hub 2. Elsewhere I read that Wink is on your "short list" for future Konnected HA hub support. Any progress?

I will also like wink support .

It’s been 4 months since the original post and the has been no response. In the meantime konnected now works with Home Assistant, OpenHAB and Hubitat.

Will konnected ever be supported on Wink?

I love the idea of converting my wired alarm to a smart alarm. I would buy this thing in an instant. I am not keen on switching hubs and having to redo my setup.

I hope someone will respond.

Please, please support the Wink 2 hub!

I think Wink2 support should be added. Wink works great to provide on cohesive place for controlling home automation. You are missing a large opportunity without support.

I will buy this if and when you support the Wink Hub 2.
Thanks Shawn

Is supporting Wink/zwave a scheduled improvement to konnected? 

I only found an article about the 4 hubs they do support. Nothing about the Wink being on a schedule to be supported.

I’d love to submit a request, but I can’t find a way to do that on their site.

Can anyone else see a way?

Wink has been around for a while now. I’m wondering if Wink support is even possible.

So I submitted a “trouble ticket” to konnected that said the following:

Can’t find a direct way to contact konnected so I’m trying this. Will konnected ever be compatible (work) with the Wink Hub as you have done with the other hubs? I would really like to purchase your product, but I’d hate to have to purchase a new hub if I didn’t have to. Wink has been on the market for awhile now. Is there a technical reason the Wink Hub wouldn’t work with your product? Or is it a resource issue? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you, Keith

This is what I got back:

Hi Keith,

We’ve tried to get moving with a Wink integration, but they don’t have an open platform and we’re unable to integrate with Wink without partnering with them. I’ve tried several times to reach out to Wink, but they never reply.

If you could contact Wink and let them know that we’d love to integrate with them, I’d appreciate it.

People,. If you want konnected on wink send wink a the message! And hopefully we will get it.

I’ve sent my email to them already.
I had my Wink 2 Hub for sometime now and have been quite happy.

Awhile back I learned about the company konnected and it’s konnected alarm system. They allow people with existing wired alarm systems to upgrade the to smart alarm systems.

I sent an email to Wink asking if they were going to support this product and don’t believe I ever received a response. Since I sent that email, konnected now supports Samsung’s Smart things, Apple’s Home Assistant, OpenHab, and Habitat. Wink is an obvious missing platform.

There is a thread request in the konnected community form that would like this support.

Does Wink know about this product?

Is Wink interested or planning on supporting the konnected alarm system?

I have to say that the konnected alarm system is a compelling product that would drive me to switch platform. I am hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your time.

Keith

Hi Keith,

Thanks for contacting Wink Support with this excellent suggestion. We have added Konnected alarm panel as a feature request to our developers for consideration. While we wont know of any ETA on product development, we do encourage you to check back at Blog.Wink.com for news and updates.
Kind regards, - Benjamin

Sorry for all of the separate post, i want to make them readable. Sent your feature request to Wink! And cross your fingers.

Hi,
I am a Wink user (1, not 2) and am very interested in konnected but do not want to dismantle my set-up just to make konnected work. Is there any update on this topic? Compatibility with wink would seal the deal for me.

Great product!

Cheers

I’ve heard nothing from Wink other than what I’ve already posted. This is in Wink’s hand. As I posted earlier, contact Wink with a feature request. Flood them with requests Demand should drive action. I myself have taken the leap to Smart things. At least part way. For right now, I’m planning on keeping all of my home automation stuff on Wink and will be putting konnected on Smart things. That way the alarm is isolated from the rest of my IOT stuff (especially things that are weak WRT security). I picked up a Gen 3 Smartthings Hub for about $62 from Amazon. They run side by side just fine without interfering with each other. Just waiting for my konnected hardware to show up now.

I like wink alot but look at there website no stock on hubs and seems almost as if company is going out of business? Just my thoughts I got mine running on hass.io seems to work well msg me if you need help setting it up.

Shawn, looking back on you first post in this thread, you did the same thing I’m just about to do, except with hass.io. Did you install that on a Raspberry Pi unit? If so, wow, that’s way more daring than I would have tried. Hardware wise and wiring layout I’ve got it worked out. Setup of the konnected boards and Samrtthings seems to be straight forward. Setting up Actiontiles, a kiosk browser, motion detection and keeping a tablet from going to sleep is intimidating me. But that is stage 2 for me right now. Did you go that far yet?
