IndyColtsFan Always fascinated with users who participate in a forum for a product that they continually $hit on. Why not participate in a forum for products that you enjoy and allow us 'uneducated and delusional' Wink users enjoy this forum? Just Asking
I have both ST and Wink and participate in both communities. I will correct people in either community who make blanket or incorrect statements. Also, please quote where I said "uneducated and delusional." I said that, in my opinion, ST users seem to be more technical and have better knowledge of competing products on average. I stand by that assessment. My favorite example and facepalm moment was when one Wink user said Wink was like Android whereas ST was closed like Apple - even the Wink users laughed at the idiot and told him he had it completely backwards.
But more importantly, I will call Wink out on their BS (and there is plenty of it). The Spotter comment in the FB group shocked even me. They flatly told me that they won't add Aeon or other third party products because they're not "partners," so you're forced to rely on the generic zwave device which may or may not work. They have no generic Zigbee device handler, so you're out of luck if you want to use the excellent Centralite/Lowes sensors.
Also, in case you're not aware, this thread is one of the largest Wink resources on the Internet and Wink had representation here at one point. I'm sure they still scan the thread on occasion as well, so they need to see what users think.
